Another wicked female, but this one's in a good way.😁 The extremely rare DeAgostini 1/24 "Eleanor" Shelby GT500. I've wanted a proper Eleanor in 1/24 for as long as I can remember. And another addition to my movie/tv car collection. This will be a jewel in my collection.💯😊

Congratulations although I am not familiar with " Eleanor " it's a beauty.

Congratulations Geno - she couldn't be with a better owner. Be sure to keep her safe or else she'll be Gone in 60 Seconds!!

@modeldadeeee Ben, watch the movie "Gone in 60 seconds" with Nicholas Cage. You wanna see some really cool cars, this movie has them in spades. Eleanor is the star car of the movie. This is the model I've been waiting for from Italy.😊

I get now why you were so excited Brother, one of my favorite ‘car’ movies and definitely one fine star car! Congrats!

Oh man, that'd been great to see. 🤑We saw the Eleanor Mustang a couple years ago in the "Hollywood Star Cars Museum" up here in Gatlinburg. I took a ton of photos but can no longer get to them on this computer - I put them on a CD. Here's a shot from the Museum itself.

Don’t forget the original by Toby Halicki. I took my two younger brothers to see the movie when it first came out and we still talk about that day and how much fun we had. I had never seen a movie with so many car chase scenes and we were just thrilled. TBH, when I went to see the remake I was disappointed. I didn’t like the family issue in the storyline. JMO though.

Congratulations, Geno! Saw the movie and in spite of dislike of a certain star, I loved the cars and the action.

Again, thanks guys. Now you know my excitement waiting for this baby to arrive. This one cost me a little more, but we'll worth it. Steve, I'd love to find a 1/24 of that original also. They'd go great together.💯😊

That's a real beauty, Geno. Wouldn't mind finding a place for that one on my shelves.
