This beautiful 1967 Ford Mustang GT500E tribute has been meticulously built over several years. You can find examples of Eleanor out there but very few with this level of detail, workmanship and high end components. Every opportunity was taken to make this the best performing Mustang all while respecting the heritage and timeless beauty that make these cars so desirable. All old parts were tossed aside making room for the bigger better components of today making this vehicle 90 percent new. The body was acid dipped and rotisserie restored adding new sheet metal at every turn to include new: doors, fenders, quarters, floor and of course all the parts with the Eleanor kit. The car was shipped to Missouri to have all this beautiful body work and paint done by a highly respected Mustang shop (Gateway Mustang) that is a perennial exhibitor at SEMA. Please reach out to me if you are a serious buyer and would like more detail on some facet of the build. In addition, the underside of the car is finished as nice as the topside and it has never seen rain or snow. I have over 900 pictures of the building of the car from Gateway Mustang when they did it. These are available upon request by a serious buyer only.
