Yep. Actual differences:

To make the "67 GT 500" more unique, modifications were made from the original, stock 67 GT500. Among the modifications: custom "Corvette" side pipes were added, a front air dam similar to the one on the 1965 GT 350R replaced the front end, the gas cap was located behind the top scoop instead of the rear of the car, the hood was replaced with one that has a definitely non-stock hood scoop, and nitrous was featured. Oh and least I forget to mention those huge mag rims and sports tires. I understand the producer took one of cars home after the movie, and that he is afraid to drive it. Those were not options in 1967.

Gallery of the real GT500 and Eleanor

Sad that a few GT500 owners modded theirs to look like Eleanor. Personally though I think the front air damn makes it look meaner and more aggressive (better overall)

awesome movie though 😉

a fastback mustang is still an original classic car 🙁
