Ford Mustang 500 Shelby Eleanor replica 1967
General description :
Eleanor Mustang Shelby GT 500 replica for sale
This is a replica of âEleanorâ the Mustang Fastback that was used in the movie âGone In 60 Secondsâ with Nicolas Cage. If you for some strange reason have not seen that movie, I do not think you will understand this car.
Exterior: Exterior: As you can see in the pictures, this Mustang fastback has been made in to look like the Shelby GT 500 seen in the movie. The car was completed in 2007-2008 and it has not been used much after this. The parts specific for the Eleanor body is in fiberglass, such as wheel arches in the back, air intakes, front fenders, hood, and rear spoiler. Then fitted with original Ford Shelby GT 500 wheels and Avon Tyres. This is a car that gets a lot of attention on road!
Interior: On the inside, classic looking instruments with digital technology from Dakota digits have been used. Stock looking seats and an aluminium centre panel. Wood steering wheel. The rest of the interior is bought as a kit from USA. Seats and door cards are in black leather. There is also a built in 5000W stereo from Blaupunkt with subwoofer and GPS should you ever get tired of listening to the two side trumpets.
Engine: This Eleanor Shelby GT 500 Replica looks very cool, but at the end of the day it is a performance car and it does have staggering performance to match the looks. The 7 litre V8 gives you 495hp and if you need an extra push after that it has NOS to give you an extra 100hp. The engine was built by Spedomotive in USA using a lot of race parts. The automatic transmission is a reinforced 3 speed with 2000 steel converter and a 9â rear axle from Currie with differential lock. Brakes have also been upgraded so you can stop this beast. 13â inch rotors with 4 piston callipers from SSBC Force 10-breakeswith. To handle the power a complete cage has been fitted underneath the car. Fuel tank in aluminum from Unique performance. Elbach springs and the rest of the suspension is from Unique Performance. Reinforced carrying arms from Global west.
History: I guess you can say this car was born in 2008 when the regular Mustang Fastback 1967 was stripped down and built in to what you see here today. Most of the parts on the car were fitted new at this point and the car has not been used much since. It holds today a Danish registration document.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
