A project we call "Blue Eleanor" has a tale to tell. It was originally a factory Candy Apple Red "A" code 1967 Fastback.As a wrecked car way back in 1986 for it was purchased for $50.00.

Over the next 20 years it sat in the Mustangs Plus bone yard and was picked over of all it's good parts, as you can tell from the first photo. To tell you the truth, the only reason it didn't go to the crusher years ago, like many other '67 and '68 fastbacks we crushed, was simply because we never got around to it!  As you can  see by the second photo, it took a lot of new sheet metal, including all new front frame rails, shock towers, complete floors, taillight panel and left rear quarter panel, to bring it back from the edge of death! With a new lease on life, we decided to put one of the original Eleanor body kits that David and I bought from CVS (Cinema Vehicles Services), the company that built the original Eleanors for the 2000 hit movie Gone In Sixty Seconds. The third photo shows the car shortly after it came out of the paint booth and it is simply gorgeous!.

The Blue Eleanor has recently been purchase from a very happy customer in Denmark. For that simple reason we have not finished the full assembly. He has opted to finish the assembly on his own. How ever we have put a new Smeding small block 427 Windsor motor. This motor has been dyno tested at 470HP, and 571Ft. lbs of torque. So there will be plenty of ponies to power this beautiful machine. We have also installed a new PAOD transmition, which will be able to handle the power of this torquie motor. For braking this car has been equipped with front and rear SSBC Force 10 braking system. When this car gets up to speed there should not be a problem bringing it back to idle. For handling this car has a Total control coil over front set up, and rear 5 mid eye Grab-a-Trac  rear leaf springs. This should bring this powerful car through the corners quite smoothly. Extreme steering response is what you will get from the power Total Control Rack and Pinion set up we have installed. We also feel it is important to be as comfortable as possible with the steering wheel in hand. That’s why we chose to install a stainless steel polished full adjustable tilt steering column. This will allow the driver to get the best feel for the steering wheel at any angle they choose.
