It was then coated with POR15 for maximum protection. Proper Eleanor Pepper Grey and Black was sprayed on and wet sanded to a mirror finish. The lighting system was upgraded to Tri-bar HID headlights, Small PIAA fog lights, PIAA turn signals, and Shelby sequential tail lights. 6" PIAA driving lights with white covers have been installed since the photos into the lower valance to finish the Eleanor look. All exterior chrome trims, grill, and Shelby Bullet racing mirrors are new. Drive train consists of a Fluidyne 4 core aluminum radiator with electric fan. High performance freshly rebuilt 289 with custom large valve aluminum heads, Edlebrock performer + cam, Performer manifold, and a Holley 600 cfm Street Warrior carburetor.

The engine pulleys were upgraded to a serpentine setup. The engine breathes through port matched exhaust gaskets into chrome thick flange headers. Then 2 1/2 exhaust pipes flow into racing mufflers, and vent out through the rocker panels in front of the rear tires. The entire electrical system is brand new with a high amp alternator, Ron Francis wiring kit, and a Dakota Digital dash. The engine is backed up to a Tremec 5 speed toploader with a new high performance clutch. Suspension is all new with Edlebrock shocks, swaybars, link kits, springs, saddles, and upper and lower control arms. The Ford 9â? rear end has new gears, Summer's axles, bearings, and seals.

This car is the cover car for Mustang Depo's E2 65-66 body kit catalog. Always stored inside in a heated garage. Started every 2 weeks and driven if weather permits (never in the rain).
