Built from the ground up by East Bay Muscle Cars of Brentwood, CA,
this 1967 Ford Mustang owned by MLB great Buster Posey has been
painstakingly designed with modern technology in mind. Built as the
ultimate Pro-Touring muscle car, this fastback is powered by an
aluminum-block Jon Kaase Racing Engines Modern Boss Nine V8 engine
that displaces 572ci and is rated at 828hp and 780 ft/lbs of
torque. The race-oriented block features 4-bolt main bearing caps,
a 4340-steel crankshaft, connecting rods, forged Diamond pistons,
aluminum cylinder heads with a 2.3-inch stainless-steel
swirl-polish intake valve and 1.9-inch exhaust valves activated by
1.75:1 aluminum roller rockers. The engine is fitted with
electronic stack fuel-injection as well as a Kaase Boss Nine
8-Stack intake manifold, 58mm Borla throttle bodies, Holley ECU
with all related sensors, wiring harness, injectors and an
Aeromotive fuel pressure gauge. The Billet Specialties front runner
belt system is all billet aluminum. An oversized C&R radiator
with PWM fans is incorporated. Routing power to the rear wheels is
a Bowler Performance Transmissions built GM 4L80E 4-speed automatic
transmission with an SFI bellhousing adapter, sending power through
a Wavetrac differential with 3.50 gear ratio. The custom Mustang is
equipped with a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis fashioned from
10-gauge steel, with fully boxed perimeter frame rails, a custom
center crossmember with adjustable drop-out transmission bracket
and a custom mid-brace crossmember with fabricated exhaust ports.
The custom tri-Y headers send the exhaust into MagnaFlow
stainless-steel mufflers. The entire exhaust system is custom
3-inch stainless steel, fabricated for ground clearance and
ceramic-coated. The Eleanor Mustang features rack & pinion steering
and a full independent rear suspension, with double adjustable
coilover shocks on all four corners. Braking power is provided by
13-inch rotors, with 6-piston calipers up front and 4-piston
calipers in the rear. The firewall has been moved back 5 inches;
the engine bay shock towers have been removed to allow for the new
chassis to fit. The front hood is a fiberglass unit featuring
brand-new Ringbrothers billet hood hinges. The rear trunk lid is
fiberglass with spoiler and has an electric release button. The
interior of the car has German square-weave carpet, including
custom-made floor mats in black. The Corbeau sport seats are
wrapped in black Italian leather and the rear seats are moved back
approximately 4 inches for rear passenger leg room. A custom bottom
frame was made using CAD. The armrest and door panels are stitched
in black Italian leather. The gauges are Dakota Digital HDX series,
with GPS speed control module and Digital BIM II Holley EFI
interfacing with programmable color display. The Ididit steering
column has a replica Nardi wood steering wheel. The car has been
rewired with American Autowire, with bus fuses to ensure safety.
The new Vintage Air climate control system is tucked up under the
dash. The new Boss Audio system unit features MP3, Bluetooth and
AM/FM radio with front and rear coaxial speakers and an Alpine
electronic subwoofer. The front windshield is new laminated safety
glass; the side glass and the rear glass are all new as well.
Featuring LED headlights, the Eleanor rides on three-piece aluminum
Grudge Heritage Series Forgeline wheels (18x8 front; 19x10 rear)
wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The car is finished in House
of Kolor Metallic Gray Pearl with black stripes and has been
color-sanded and buffed to a brilliant shine, with the underside of
the car painted just as nice as the top of the car in satin black.
Custom-designed heat shields are fitted between the floors, exhaust
and driveshaft. The car comes with a number of items, including its
Eleanor Tribute Edition Certificate of Authenticity and badges from
Eleanor Licensing LLC, a box full of memorabilia, and the build
appraisal book with receipts and images.
