'65, '66, '67, 68'...the tao of Eleanor.

351 Windsor? Nope. Cruisamatic trans? Nope.
In some cases…it just ain't funny. In others…damn right hilarious. Regardless, I'm speaking of the opportunity to purchase, in this day and age, (for the small barter of your first born) a one-of-a-kind "Eleanor" project from the likes of Ebay.For those not familiar with "Eleanor"...simply press Stage 2 on your Celica and steer towards the nearest brick wall. We don't have time here for history lessons my friend. I've been noticing this going on for quite sometimenow…rusted-out, banged-up, busted-up, mud-ridden scraps of former glory being passed off for big bucks on Ebay and other auction sites. Ever call your girlfriend by the wrong name?
