Big thanks to Matt Kiernan at Bayshore Ford Truck, Commercial and Fleet Sales in New Castle Delaware for such an easy and transparent transaction. MSRP and price protection applied to my OTD price without me even having to mention it.

So where did I come up with the name Eleanor??

My mom passed away in 2020 a few weeks after the Bronco reveal. She was in home hospice and bed ridden with pancreatic cancer. We were staying with her to care for her. Watching the Bronco reveal was the last thing we really did before she took a turn for the worse. Mom's name was Eleanor. There it is. What else has the name Eleanor?? Yup you guessed it. The GiSS Mustang. And what color is that Eleanor?? Gray. Albeit pebble gray metallic. That is how I made my color choice. Carbonized gray was not my first choice. But when I came up with this plan it just fit.

So my Bronco is a slight nod to the Mustang. But a overall tribute to mom.

Pics in the next post because I can't attach them to the first post.

Out with the old and in with the new





This was mother's day 2020. The last time I ever saw mom out of a hospital bed before she passed a few months later.

Sitting in the garage after getting everything swapped over and things organized with a tasty beverage. Admiring such a sexy ass.

Black pony coming soon.

Congratulations @Garemlin she’s a beaut.
I hope those guys that build the replica 67 GT 500 don’t come after the name.
