Sinister Mustang Eleanor Tribute 5.0L Coyote V8 6 Speed Automatic Leather A/C

Over the past few years, we've certainly seen some nice resto-mods. But this 1967 Mustang, with its hot Coyote motor and seductive Eleanor styling, is definitely one of the coolest! Fully sorted and ready to hit the road, this awesome Ford combines the stump-pulling power of Dearborn's best muscle cars with vintage Detroit style that's classy enough to lead a parade. And today, thanks to meticulous restoration, not only is it a reliable and exceptionally comfy place to spend a sightseeing summer, it's also an authentic piece of Americana that'll be welcomed at virtually any car show in any town. If you're looking for a choice classic that's as alluring as it is powerful, who says you need a high maintenance original? This awesome pony will look just as cool rolling down the road, show just as well at the local drive-in and provide just as many miles of carefree cruising!

ELEANOR, DYNACORN AND SIX FIGURES

A professional, six-figure build that included a five-year timeline and $30K in paint and metalwork, this Mustang supplements solid Dynacorn sheetmetal with an aggressive Eleanor body kit that was sourced directly from Mustangs To Fear. However, instead of donning the traditional Pepper Gray pigment of everyone's favorite movie Ford, this pony stretched rich black 2-stage paint under sublime Charcoal stripes. And today, the car rolls as one head-turning thoroughbred that's right at home reflecting a summertime cruise-in!

Back in the day, Dearborn designers made sure every year of the first-generation Mustang had plenty of visual sizzle. And in the 21st century, it doesn't get much better than this Ford's racy combination clean factory accents and Shelby-inspired trim. At the front of the car, boxed grilles hang a prominent cobra emblem and crisp PIAA fog lamps between bright headlights and trick driving lamps. Below those lights, an Eleanor-style bumper bends aggressive ground effects around sculpted, Shelby-branded fenders that frame a pinned, Eleanor-style hood. Behind that hood, body-matched stainless traces tinted glass, which reflects polished, bullet-style mirrors, Shelby-style pillar scoops and a polished, Monza-style fuel filler. Beneath those scoops, ornate cove ducts top massaged rockers and requisite Eleanor quarter flares. Behind those flares, an extended, Shelby-style decklid joins aggressive fender caps to shade bright taillights and bright Cobra badge. And below that badge, crisp reverse lamps light a tight bumper, a sculpted valance and a small camera.

COYOTE, PONY AND COBRA

Hoist this coupe's lightweight hood and you'll find a 5.0 liter, DOHC Coyote crate engine that twists easy horsepower into miles of pavement scorching torque! At the top of the engine, a remote filter element feeds a satin air tube. At the sides of the engine, long-tube Mustangs To Fear headers optimize breathing. At the front of the engine, a Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine drive spins a modern alternator, a modern AC compressor and Power By The Hour Performance steering components. In front of those ancillaries, a beefy Derale radiator utilizes two electric puller fans to provide plenty of cooling. Quality detailing includes billet reservoirs, American Autowire wiring and Mustangs To Fear hood supports. And the svelte powerplant is extremely tidy, with Ford cam covers and a “SHELBY” branded cowl concealing most of its Factory Silver block.

UPGRADES, UPGRADES AND UPGRADES

Aesthetically, the bottom of this old school pony has been restored to the same high standards as its striking exterior and clean engine compartment. The car's modern mill utilizes a Ford Performance Coyote Control Pack to deal power to a smooth 6R80 6-speed automatic transmission. That drivetrain is pushed by a Heidts PRO-G High Horsepower rear-clip, which wraps tubular control arms around adjustable billet coil-overs. Those components are led by a Total Cost Involved Pro-Touring front-clip, which cages power rack-and-pinion steering in, you guessed it, billet coil-overs and tubular control arms. At the ends of that $25K suspension, red Wilwood calipers clamp 20 pistons around a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. Stainless exhaust fills rowdy Mustangs To Fear mufflers between an H-pipe crossover and side-exit tips. Power meets the pavement through American Racing Shelby Cobras, which spin 245/45ZR17 Nitto NT555s in front of 315/35ZR17 Nitto NT555s. And items like sturdy subframe connectors, a Mustangs To Fear fuel cell and stainless Mustangs To Fear fluid lines provide both reliability and flash.

LEATHER, SUEDE AND PLENTY OF STYLE

Swing the doors and you'll find a custom cockpit that threads $20K worth of high grade leather with color-keyed French stitching. Front and center, sixth-generation Mustang GT buckets boast big bolsters under a thick Mustangs To Fear roll bar that's strung with 3-point Sparco harnesses. A monochromatic dash hangs clean Classic Instruments telemetry over pushbutton ignition and controls for Vintage Air conditioning. Fresh carpet floats Cobra-themed floor mats between metal foot pedals, quality sound deadening and a leather-wrapped console that's topped by a booted Lokar shifter. Tunes are funneled through a modern Pioneer head unit, which blasts a 500-watt JBL amp, 10-inch JBL subs and big JBL kick speakers. The driver carves curves through a choice Billet Specialties steering wheel, which laps a tilting Flaming River column. And behind the passengers, a custom-upholstered trunk hoists a Taylor-cased Optima battery opposite a polished fire extinguisher.

When it comes to maximizing the amount of metal your money buys, you simply can't go wrong with a purpose-built pony car. Thanks to its thorough restoration, this legendary Ford is a great driving piece that's fun, historic AND reliable. If you're looking for an awesome classic that commands respect on both the boulevard and the show field, this red-hot Mustang is just your style!
