The Shelby Mustang is a high performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 through 1970. Following the introduction of the fifth generation Ford Mustang, the Shelby nameplate was revived in 2007 for new high performance versions of the Mustang. In 1967 Carroll Shelby built one GT500 Shelby Mustang 427 Shelby “Super Snake”. It was driven by Carroll Shelby at the Goodyear test track in Texa Carroll recorded lap speeds over 150 mph and top speed of 170
The Shelby Mustang GT500 Eleanor was born when the movie "Gone in sixty seconds" was planned. The car is not a genuine Shelby GT500 but a movie creation made specially for the movie. The company Cinema Vehicles are the original designers and builders of the famous movie car Eleanor (from "Gone in 60 Seconds" starring Nicholas Cage & Angelina Jolie).
This 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 "Eleanor" was built from june 2002-march 2003 by Cinema Vehicles in North Hollywood California (1 of 15 made), car has been garaged ever since and only taken out a few times a year (only 500 miles after rebuild) finished in Eleanor Pepper Grey metallic. It is equiped with a big block 390 GT engine, 4 spd top loader, Shelby deluxe interior with rollbar and a Total Control rack and pinion steering. Car is in outstanding condition in/out and mechanically. The original 390 big block motor was redone, valves seats, pistons rings etc., HP is ca 400. New leaf springs, rear shocks, front disc brakes, rear drum and rack in pinion.
Cinema Vehicles took car apart and bead blasted everything, new Shelby deluxe interior and roll bar, new exhaust hooked up right to sides (awesome sound states the V8 big block engine), new front disc brake conversion, new drums in rear, and new Total Control rack and pinion steering, everything is correct from Gas cap to Mirrors, Rims and Exhaust - everything. Radio is not hooked up, didn't want to drill hole for antenna. Engine, tranny, rearend, gears and clutch are 100%, no defects, engine was brought to machine shop and redone and slightly modified, also added Edelbrock 750 carb, intake manifold and high performance msd distributor, battery is also new, the crome around windows and doors is also original but looks great. This car looks and runs awesome and by far one of the best looking Eleanor's existing !
Rims are 17" (Shelby)made by Phil Schmidt Engineering Wheels (PSE) they make rims for movie and Cinema Vehicles Services. Special registration plates, they read: GT50067 (US-plates).
