And also, if you look somewhere, you will find that Carroll actually went to court to sue the writers or makers of the movie &quot;Gone In Sixty Seconds&quot; for the writers to the name &quot;Shelby Eleanor&quot; [img]https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/use...90f77d727def8e0[/img]

Again, Eleanor was a 71 Mustang fastback. There was no Shelby connection until the 2000 remake, and even that connection was tenuous. I can find no reference to the lawsuit you mention.
