For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a unicorn of sorts.
This one though is quite a unique unicorn. In fact if you Google
"Blue Eleanor" this car is what you will find. A 1967 Ford Mustang
Fastback that started life as a 390 CID car, many many hands were
involved in making this dream a reality. The body work was done by
Desert Mustangs in Scottsdale AZ. She has made the circuits and was
sold at Barrett-Jackson in 2006 and then underwent many thousands
of dollars worth of work on the drivetrain to make this monster
work in real life. So now the engine is a fully built bored and
stroked 398 CID V8 that started as a 351 Cleveland. All of the
supporting parts are top notch and support the 575 horsepower this
engine creates. There are some cool tricks too. The custom exhaust
is very muted until you flip the switch on the center console that
opens the exhaust, the car then sings a very different tune. The
neighbors will not be very happy with you running through the
neighborhood banging through the T56 six speed transmission. All of
this is backed by a Ford 9 inch rear differential with 3.89:1 gears
and locking differential. No she isn't a one trick pony either, ac
makes driving in any area or time of year comfortable, power
steering and power brakes make it all buttery smooth for driving.
And please don't think she is just a show pony either, she did 167
mph in a half mile runway race recently. For all of this shock and
awe this is a well sorted car with just the right options that
include AC, CD Player, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Seat Belts,
Radial Tires, and Aluminum Alloy Wheels. For more HD pictures and
