<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: f68yenko</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Not to start a war or anything but, in the nearly eighties when I purchased my 67-68 Shelby GT 500 &quot;Eleanor&quot;, I named it &quot;Rigby&quot; for the reason that on the title and the documents it stated &quot;Eleanor&quot;, not to mention a chicken farmer new I owned the car. 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.
