 | 236.Crystal Cove July 2006Every Saturday morning, well before sunrise, Southern California’s car cognoscenti descend on the stucco-encrusted Crystal Cove Promenade strip mall overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the famed Pacific Coast Highway just south of the Corona del Mar section of Newport Beach, home to some of the world’s most expensive real estate. They vie for 200 or so select parking spots in what has become the “in” place each week; classic hot rods, muscle cars, vintage cars of every stripe, exotics of every color and even an expanding selection of top-tier tuner cars all race for the most prime real estate. By 6 AM, all the choice spots are taken and the overflow is relegated to the outlying parking lots where dozens of Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis park among the spectator Mercedes, Audis, BMWs and Lexuses, all as common in this part of the world as Accords, Camrays and 300Cs are almost anywhere else.

 | 237.2005 Redline MustangEvery now and then I get lucky and get a really special vehicle photographed first, before any other photographers or magazines, in this case a 2005 Mustang tricked out with an updated Eleanor look with an extra special hook. In this case the hook is a prominent movie tie-in, for the upcoming car flick Redline, due in theaters sometime later this fall. While this Mustang is not the primary star of the movie, it gets a lot of screen time.
Check out the trailers for Redline at:
http://www.redlinethemovie.com/trailers.aspx
This will also be the source for the most up-to-date release information. There are already interviews (clip two) with Stunt Coordinator Johnny Martin (Gone In Sixty Seconds, The Italian Job) which explain that they will be flipping a $400,000 Porsche Carrera GT over a $1,200,000 Ferrari Enzo (and destroying a number of Fiero-based kit cars along the way).
The Mustang is pretty damn cool in its own right, with owner Earl Morehead having installed the first aftermarket Saleen supercharger and having contributed to the installation documentation. And Earl was generous enough to shred a set of rear tires with repeated burnouts under the Interstate 5 flyover in San Fernando, California.
For ICE fans and publications the car is equipped with a stealth Eclipse/Audison/JL Audio system and a Ronaele (Eleanor spelled backwards) body kit combined with a Roush rear fascia that together works in perfect harmony.
Text will be available shortly and with the film opening later this fall, the timing for this feature couldn’t be more perfect. Check out the images here as well as the Redline web site, and let me know your intentions as quickly as possible.
