Let Me Tell You About the Owner...

I grew up in the Midwest as a teenager. In the late sixties I used to drag race my Dad’s 1965 Mustang. My best friend owned a 1967 “S” Code 390 GT Fastback which we used to go out and beat Corvettes and Camaros at drag racing events. I remember the incredible feeling that the GT inspired within me. When the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds” came out I was like most car enthusiasts. I got motivated to pursue my dream. And now, every time I get behind the wheel of my Eleanor I go back in time and turn back into that teenager that I used to be in the 60’s.

 
I was so impressed with the concept of the GT500E (The Eleanor) that I just had to have one. And to have one, meant that I had to build it myself. For me, that meant putting together a team of professionals to assure that the project was done perfectly. From the Seamless body design, to the Power Plant under the hood, no detail about this car has been over looked.


Thank you for helping us save this beauty!  She needs to be in the right hands: someone that will garage her, drive her (only occasionally!), and love her.

MustangOnlyOne Summary:

 

All body work was completed with a Maier Racing Eleanor body, fabricated, molded & painted by Santini Auto Body & Paint.  Custom fabrication on the engine and suspension was done by Kevin Priest at Hi Tech German Engine & Drive Train, with an "E" kit by Mustang Depot of Las Vegas.

 
     
 
     
 
  
 
 

At Santini Body Work, the car’s design process took 18 months at the cost of $30,000. The Car was “Restomoded” by Pete Santini in Garden Grove. Santini is famous, in the Hot Rod World for his paint jobs. He has appeared on the show “Over Haulin” which is hosted by Chip Foose. This Eleanor is the first Eleanor body that was designed completely without seams, and was completely primed and painted on a 360 Degree Rotisserie. The Rocker Panels, C Pillar, Side Scoops, Rear Fender Caps, and Rear Panels are all bolted and molded on. This work is truly a “lost Art” and was facilitated by a great Artist!

 

The unique thing about this Eleanor is the very hard to get, hand engraved signature of Carroll Shelby on the Valve Covers. The Shock Towers were shaved (removed) and a reinforced. Custom Rod & Sport Rack and Pinion front suspension was added. Heavy duty Coil Over Shocks were added to the front and the rear. The engine is cooled with a double electric fan that is hung on an over sized “Be Cool” radiator. This prevents taking drag off the engines power. The “Marchi Pulley” system has one Serpentine Belt which gives the engine enhanced horse power.
