Nick Cage/ Elanore Mustang

[bigslim]

I was out on Woodward tonight having an after the Cruise drive and what do I see, Elanore. She is beautiful. No Nick Cage was not here but the car was. It is the one built by Unique Performance out of Texas. It is the company that the show "Rides" did a story on. It is owned by a very nice lady here in the area. This car was getting major attention. The dash is signed by Carroll Shelby. I guess they couldn't get Steve Babcock like Kathy did. All the pictures are in the Dream Cruise gallery.

There are a couple of companies that will do a repro for you if you have the bucks. In fact, TLC's program "Rides" did a feature on this a few weeks back.

Car had a stick. It can be had with either a 325hp/5.0 liter, a 456hp/6.5 liter or a 750hp supercharged 7.1 liter engine. This one I am not sure what it had. Lot's of people asking questions so I couldn't get all the info on this one. All of them have a stick and the cars are all signed off by Carroll Shelby and numbered when the are complete.

Probably BigSlim's MM. :high5: He gets around and documents with photos. Check out his gallery and recent photos from the WDC and MV II.

That is my car. It was cool because the owner was looking at my car as I was looking at hers. I offered a trade but she said no thanks. I wonder why?

She was probably looking at the slim..mobile thinking " Elenore gets better gas milage than that machine" :burn: :cowboy:

Being in the science business, it's my job to find stuff. It's cool that you managed to hide your MM hidden in the background, completely ...um, unnoticed.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I know that threre are other companies doing these cars. I think that the one in Texas is the only one that has the backing of Carroll Shelby. The ones out of Texas get his signature on them. Also, the lady driving the one I saw was better looking than her.
