Personally I was never very fond of the Eleanor cosmetic mods.

I've seen this one. It's OK, but I'd rather spend my money on an original not a replica.
I did see this on Offer UP and i'm seriously considering having a look. I can buy that cash right now and still have enough to buy something new. Not fond of white though, but the price is unbeatable. I messaged her to see if it's still for sale and if the mileage is original or on a new restored engine and other questions. Close by so I may go look at it.

Found this today. Going to look at it on Tuesday. I'm very much on the fence about it only because it's a 2011 and not newer.

It has extremely low mileage for a 2011. Based on 6 years (since it just turned to 2018) it's only averaged 2,500 miles per year.
It looks like it was damn sure garage kept. I think it was a nice weekend-local-car shows-OMG there's a dust speck on the roof-never saw rain-the garage is 72 degrees and humidity controlled-here wear these Tyvek bootie shoe covers in the car situation.
I used to work in the reconditioning bay of a car dealership back in 1978/1979 and I know the difference between recon and baby-kept and this one looks like it was baby-kept.
If you go look at it in person, the biggest tell is the pedal pads. Look to see if there is 1. Any uneven wear and 2. evidence of dirt/dust/discoloration/cleaning marks in the grooves. Absence of them would be either a baby or replaced with brand spankin' new (but those would have a dull almost sticky look).

Typically on a car like that, those miles seem normal. Not many people buy that as a DD, or for a long commute. I looked at a couple dozen 2011 GT500's, and this one is actually a bit on the higher side for miles. Prices are all right in that same range as well. I would also completely expect it to be kept inside. In unusual cases I have even seen people that store stuff like this inside positive pressure bags inside the garage. A little extreme, but there are those people.
