Vehicle Description
Fuel Required is proud to present this incredible 1967 Ford Mustang
GT500 "Eleanor" in our McDonald, PA showroom. When the factory
introduced a 390ci 'big-block' V8 option on the Mustang for 1967,
Carroll Shelby went one better, installing Ford's 428ci (7.0-litre)
Cobra Jet V8 to create the GT500, one of the great, iconic muscle
cars of the 1960s. The Shelby Mustang continued to be based on the
stock version, receiving the latter's styling changes and
mechanical improvements while retaining its own distinctive special
features until production ended in 1970. One of the most famous of
all Mustangs is that known as 'Eleanor', the Shelby GT500 that
starred in the 1974 B-movie Gone in Sixty Seconds, which was remade
in 2000 with Nicholas Cage starring as the car-thief central
character. Indeed, such is the continuing level of interest in this
type of car that production of the GT500E resumed in the USA with
Carroll Shelby's blessing, using recycled original Mustang
bodyshells. This stunning 'Eleanor' tribute has been modified to
incorporate all the components used for the actual movie car
including the following: -5.0-litre V8 engine & automatic
transmission -Pro Charger supercharger -Correct body and body kit
-Side-exit exhaust -Disc brakes -Correct pedals, steering wheel,
gauges, seats, deluxe interior & carpet We always recommend,
welcome and encourage personal or professional inspections of any
vehicle in our inventory prior to purchase.
