Nice!,

isn't there a company in the US that builds these & GT350's?

I remember seing a show on it once, they go out & buy old beat up fastback mustangs, strip em down & basically build it from a bare shell into an Eleanor clone from the remake movie or a GT350, they doo such a good job on them that Mr Shelby himself went there & included them on the official Shelby round up.

Hmmm...some research into what happened with the Eleanor clones:

The popularity of the second film revived the popularity of "Eleanor." A number of car shops started to produce "Eleanor" tagged replicas (the car was now a 1967 Shelby GT500 "Eleanor"), and Denice again had to resort to legal action to protect the copyright. In 2008, Denice won a case against Carroll Shelby, who had been selling replicas as “continuation models” of his original Shelby cars. The only official licensed "Eleanor" maker was Classic Recreations LLC in Yukon, Oklahoma, USA.[3]
As of October 2009, however, Classic Recreations has ceased manufacturing Eleanor Mustangs after entering into a licensing arrangement with Carroll Shelby to produce the GT500CR, a new continuation of his original Shelby cars. Because of this recent discontinuation, there is currently no known company that manufactures these cars. This has been a big upset to many Eleanor fans since.[4]
The popularity of the car has seen a business in Melbourne, Australia start a wedding car service offering a clone of the famous "Eleanor" Mustang. Known as Eleanor Mustangs the business is currently the only one offering the Eleanor Mustang in Australia.

THat was Unique Performance... Hasty or something was his name... He was on a few episodes of Rides... Shelby severed ties with them, Foose sued them for substandard work, no delivery on the cars etc etc.. It was a big mess and plenty got burnt

Shelby was also sued by Haliki productions for copyright violation of the 'eleanor' name and design of the movie mustang. once it was settled, shelby was given permission to produce the eleanor mustang.

I remember seeing the build on Rides of the Unique Performance Eleanor's. Shame it all went sour as they were sweet.

I think you could get the basic one for $120,000.
Over $200,000 for the best one.
