Vehicle Description
This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Tribute has been upgraded to
one of the coolest styles around. And as you look at the
driver-oriented interior, coordinated appearance, and awesome small
block power, you see the full package is also one of the best
all-around performers.
We wouldn't call this an Eleanor Mustang since the later coupe has
a mean look. But when you do it in Pepper Gray you can't help but
see this as akin to an icon. In fact, with the black stripe package
and Cobra-style wheels, you really can't help but think about
Eleanor... and that's why we love its style. This Shelby tribute
has details inside and out that are great for classic Mustangs, and
then puts its own unique twist on it. So this car is both vintage
and distinct all in the first glance. They took extra time with
details on this GT500 upgrade. So, you get the main items like the
front overhang, fiberglass hood with NACA scoops, side scoops, and
a well-integrated spoiler. And this also takes it up a notch with
great pony car details like the chin splitter and louvered rear
windows. It's an overall package that looks speedy and likes to
prove it on the streets. So it's very much a driver-ready car.
That's why the classic-looking alloys are modern 18-inch wheels
with new modern ZR-rated sport tires.
Not only do the black stripes and accessories look great against
the gunmetal gray paint, but the full black interior does, too. The
good carpeting and headliner look nice, and you can make easy
updates to other components if you so desire. But the reason they
don't matter quite as much is because this is a car made for
driving. So the investments focus on the power pony experience with
Corbeau front racing seats, a wood-rimmed Lecarra steering wheel, a
B&M shifter, auxiliary readouts, and a large AutoMeter tach
with shift light mounted prominently in the middle of the dash.
The engine bay has a clean presentation. And polished pieces like
the air grabber and cast valve covers are there to let you know
there's some nice power here, too. This is Ford's mighty 351
cubic-inch block. It's said to be upgraded to a 408ci stroker, and
it certainly feels that level of powerful. But that's also because
it has the right go-fast goodies, like a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, an Edelbrock RPM intake, and long tube headers. Plus,
you can tell there's an upgraded cam by the added performance and
the sweet sound of the dual exhaust. And everything from the
Milodon oil pan to the traction bars tells you this is a build done
for power driving. And features like the three-speed automatic
transmission and front disc brakes help make this a better
cruiser.
Currently on a rebuilt title, this Mustang has certainly has some
added flair, and makes for a terrific custom power classic that you
know needs to be in your garage. Call today!!!
