Worked on "Eleanor" movie car yesterday.
Didn't the movie car have stock gauges and a n20 switch on the gear shift?
Yes, but like I said, there were (five) movie cars.
They were not all identical inside, and whatever changes that may have taken place after the movie, I have no idea.
The guy bought this car for close to a half million bucks and did have some items changed to his liking.
Remember, some of the Phantasm movie cars had small blocks with wooden boards holding up the shaker scoops under the hood so hollywood has a knack for using different cars for different shots.
To question this guys credibility as far as the B/S factor goes, I truly believe this is the real thing.
He has several other highly collectible cars, two Apache helicopters and some other aircraft.
Yesterday, we also installed some equipment on his aston martin db-9, brand new, and his Sl-500, and S-550 Benz's.
Plus the picture he showed us of The car, himself, Nicolas Cage, Carrol Shelby and Angelina Jolie made me a believer.
