While it may be almost impossible to get your hands on one of the
original 2,000 or so GT500s made, and even harder to find one of
the three original movie star-cars that survived the filming of
Gone in 60 Seconds, thankfully, we have this stunning 1967 Ford
Mustang GT500 Eleanor Tribute ready to go home with you today.
Fully repainted in the movie-correct Grey with black racing
stripes, this Tribute sports an ultra-aggressive pinned hood,
centrally mounted lower grille lights, upper and lower quarter
panel scoops, a ducktail-style rear spoiler, side-exit exhaust,
GT500 rocker panel stripes, and a lowered stance that is equal
parts form and function that would make any passersby instantly
starstruck at the sight of this radiant restomod.
Inside, we find a beautifully hardcore interior. A center console
separates a pair of bucket seats, each outfitted with a racing
harness to hold both driver and passenger firmly in place, while a
roll cage adds another level of safety and rigidity to the feel
from behind the wood-rimmed power-assisted wheel. A massive
column-mounted 10,000-rpm tachometer, complete with a shift light,
sits ahead of a set of white-faced Classics Instruments Shelby
gauges. A Hurst shifter provides all the entertainment you'll need,
but there is a Custom Autosound AM/FM/AUX head unit, complete with
kick panel speakers, if you want a soundtrack to add to your drive
outside of the rumble from those wicked sidepipes. A dummy Nitrous
switch adds a nice touch, as does the Carroll Shelby signature on
the dashboard.
Under that aggressive hood, we find an even more aggressive motor.
Beneath the trick Jim Inglese 8-stack fuel injection setup sits a
big Dart Iron Eagle 351ci block that has been bored and stroked out
to 427 cubic inches of fun. With just 76 miles on it since it was
built, this motor sports a Holley Terminator X fuel management
system, Dart rotating assembly, AFR heads, long tube headers, and
sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers. Power is routed through a
tried-and-true Tremec five-speed manual transmission before heading
out to the nine-inch Detroit Locker rear end.

This 1967 Ford Mustang GT500 Eleanor Tribute rides on a beefed-up
suspension with added bracing, QA1 control arms with matching
coilovers, and an Optima Red Top battery relocated to the truck for
better weight distribution. Four-wheel power disc brakes are
highlighted by a Wilwood master cylinder and matching Wilwood
calipers, to go along with eye-catching slotted and cross-drilled
rotors. If you've always adored Eleanor as much as Memphis Raines
and we do, but couldn't find or afford one of those three vehicles,
then this incredible tribute is the car you've been waiting for,
and this one you can have without committing a felony. But it would
be a crime to wait any longer, because this one will be gone ...
