Vehicle Description
The coolest Shelby Mustang was born when the producers of Gone in
60 Seconds (2000) needed a custom classic car to outshine the
modern exotics. But those are the movies...In reality, this 1967
Ford Mustang GT Eleanor is sooooo much cooler. Beautifully built
inside and out, you might not notice all the modern upgraded
components, because you'll be too busy enjoying the
performance-built 407 V8 with nitrous.
This car has all the great lines of the original Mustang, but there
is no mistaking it for any secretary's car. The customization is
apparent from every angle. It starts up front with the dual billet
grilles that make way for a new front bumper and PIAA racing
lights. And speaking of lights, this also gets a custom set of fog
lights and PIAA driving lamps mounted in specially built front
panel. The hood pins look like they were necessary to tame this
beastly bulging hood (and we'll tell you exactly why they're needed
a little later.) The laser straight bodylines are so well presented
that it's hard to tell where the Ford sheetmetal ends and the
Eleanor bodykit begins - and we know you love the way the side
exhaust is integrated into this design. Out back those sequential
LED taillights are an instant showpiece. The flat rear panel and
bumper have been de-chromed in true racer fashion. But even without
this brightwork, Eleanor shines in many other ways. The superb
Sterling Gray Metallic paint with dual black racing stripes has
enough gloss to be a mirror. Plus, the shine from the
Halibrand-style wheels has plenty of chrome to grab everyone's
attention.
Take one look at the interior, and you know Eleanor is a serious
gal. In-between the two rows of new black seats is a custom fitted
chrome roll bar. The moment you sit behind the wheel, you can feel
that your bucket has enough bolstering to hug your body in the
turns. Your left hand will love the wood-rimmed Cobra steering
wheel, and behind it is a full set of AutoMeter Phantom gauges. And
we know you've noticed the gearstick by now. A proper Gone In 60
Seconds Eleanor has a nitrous shot, and there's no better delivery
method than the GO-BABY-GO button right in the center of where your
right hand always wants to be. And while Eleanor might be a mean
machine, she also knows how to pamper. This is a power steering car
with air conditioning. There's also a Kenwood AM/FM/CD/DVD stereo
system. This is connected to upgraded speakers throughout the car,
so you can crank up the tunes at any speed. But really we know your
favorite soundtrack will always be exhaust booming from the beastly
motor.
Under the hood it looks like there is not a single inch left to add
more power. This Mustang has a big 390 cubic-inch V8 that was bored
to 407ci total, and the upgrades don't stop there. This was rebuilt
and reconditioned by Barnet Performance to be a fully balanced
motor. It was also given plenty of go-fast goodies such as dual
Holley 450 CFM four-barrel carburetors, Edelbrock dual carb nitro
spacer kit, Eagle rods & pistons, stainless steel rocker kit, 428
crank, and so much more. We don't have all the room to list all
upgrades that fortify this performance V8, but we'll be happy to go
over every detail when you call. All you really need to do is hear
the ferocious growl this GT gives at startup, and you'll be
instantly hooked. And you'll love that you have complete control
over this big power V8 and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the
TKO five-speed manual transmission that has been given all the
right investments in upgrades to handle all of Eleanor's enhanced
performance. And because power is nothing without control, this has
been upgraded with a race-ready suspension that includes a Ford
9-inch limited slip rear end, subframe connectors, sway bars front
& rear, four-wheel disc brakes, and the modern grip of Goodyear
Eagle GT tires.
You can tell from the pictures that there are a ton more upgrades
that we just don't have the space to list. We don't even have the
room to detail how cool that this car was originally sold less than
two hours from our showroom. But give us a call so we can go over
the build receipts, restoration photos, and Marti report that
highlight the details of one of the baddest Mustangs you'll ever
meet. But remember this kind of custom built is quite unique... and
when it's gone, good luck finding another so compete. So don't miss
out, call today!
