The main star new Gone in 60 Seconds stole the hearts of families everywhere. We’re not talking about Nic Cage here, but the beautiful and elusive “Eleanor” Mustang who became a household name, even among folks that couldn’t tell you the difference from one classic muscle car to another.
This eBay find of the day is an “Eleanor” Super Snake tribute car with lots of goodies thrown in. According to the eBay listing, a good $200k has been invested. It is powered by a Shelby-licensed all aluminum FE 427 with a Paxton NOVI 1200 blower, allowing this beast to put down a whoppin’ 750hp.
This beautiful fastback has a deadly aesthetic appeal with the “Eleanor” body kit, complete with the bulging Super Snake hood. It also features a racing-style fuel filler in the C pillar, PIAA driving lights installed in the grille, full rocker panels with aluminum exhaust tips, hood pins, sequential tails, stripes and brand spankin’ new glass and trim. The wheels are Compomotive 17” TRUE knockoff wheels and tri-bar center caps, wrapped in Dunlop 275/40/17 front and 315/35/17 rears.
To compliment the 427, they added a Shelby billet crank, H-beam connecting rods and low compression forged pistons. The heads are also Shelby designed after the “medium riser” with larger 2.25/1.75 valves and high-efficient ports. Besides that, up front resides a Shelby cast aluminum timing cover and water pump and a single plane Shelby intake.
Some more modifications include an MSD 6BTM ignition box and billet distributor, ceramic coated headers that dump into Magnaflow mufflers before exiting through the rockers, AVIAID dual kickout fabricated aluminum oil pan and Florida Central Machine spark plug wires and a SFI damper. This bad boy also features an aluminum crossflow radiator with dual fans controlling the cooling, a hydraulically operated heavy duty clutch connected to a TREMEC TKO500 transmission and a custom driveshaft leading back to a FAB9 3.70:1 9-inch rear axle with Strange axles and a Detroit Locker.
If you want to take a look at the chassis, check out the ABS master cylinder with electrical Hydroboost. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood four piston calipers complete with two piece drilled rotors. The suspension is Total Control’s front suspension setup with coilover shocks, fabricated control arms and Heim joints, rack and pinion steering and a billet strut tower brace. If you take a look at the rear, you’ll find a fully adjustable four link suspension with coilovers and a Panhard rod.
