Vehicle Description
The Eleanor was made famous in Gone in 60 Seconds and has become a
cultural icon ever since. It is based on a 1967 Shelby GT500
fastback.
Why This Car Is Special
This car is one of the nicest builds we've ever seen here at Skyway
Classics. No expense spared, and every nut and bolt is either new
or refinished on this car. It is as clean underneath as it is on
top. It has classic looks with modern steering, suspension and
brakes.
Mechanical
Starting with the engine, this Mustang has a built 351 Windsor
which has been bored and stroked to 427 cubic inches. It is topped
off with RHS aluminum heads, air gap intake, Holley carburetor,
ceramic coated headers and MSD ignition. A serpentine belt system
has been added with billet brackets and pullies. Wilwood 4-wheel
power disc brakes will bring this pony car to a stop in a hurry and
rack and pinion steering making tight turns a breeze. An aluminum
radiator with electric fan keep this big V8 nice and cool. The
powerhouse is backed up by a 5-speed manual transmission that runs
to a Ford 9" rear end with adjustable coil over shocks. The front
end has the shock towers deleted and is also running adjustable
coil over shocks and tubular control arms. This car drives more
like a 2019 Mustang than a 1968.
Interior
The interior is all new and is a great blend of old and new. The
bucket seats up front fit nicely and match the rear seat and door
panels as well as original seats would. The dash is transformed
into a Shelby with stainless accents, Shelby badging and a Shelby
style steering wheel. An AM/FM/CD player has been installed cleanly
into the dash and seat belts have been added for more safety.
AutoMeter gauges fit nicely in the dash and give an accurate read
of the important engine numbers. Behind the rear seat a custom
panel has been made to house speakers for the CD player to surround
you with your favorite tunes. Shelby Cobra floor mats have been
added to finish off this clean and crisp interior nicely.
Exterior
The Eleanor body kit used on this car is a high end one with molded
in accents. The hood is steel and the quarter panel scoops are part
of the panel. These are not cheap bolt on parts. The bumpers have
been painted to match and almost disappear from a distance. Shelby
badging, quick fill fuel cap and sport mirrors complete the look
from the outside. Foose wheels in 17" up front and 18" out back
look great and help make this Eleanor Mustang look good from every
angle.
Conclusion
This car is as nice as any you will find. Take a good look at the
photos of the underside and under the hood to really understand how
well this car was built.
