This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback has been completely restored and modified as a Shelby GT500 Eleanor-style tribute featuring custom fiberglass bodywork, a new 67’-style Deluxe interior, and a 427 stroker crate engine paired with a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission. The car also features front and rear disc brakes, full coilover suspension, a Shelby-style roll bar, a rebuilt 9” rear end, air conditioning, and power steering. Driven less than 2k miles since the restoration, this Eleanor tribute is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California.
This Mustang Fastback has been fitted with a fiberglass Eleanor-style body kit including wheel arch flares, rocker panels with side-exit exhaust outlets, side air scoops, a trunk lid spoiler, a hood, a taillight panel, and bumpers. Eleanor-style grilles and front driving lights were also installed along with hood pins, chrome bullet-style mirrors, and Shelby GT500 badging. The car was refinished in Black with contrasting Pepper Grey rally stripes and GT500E side stripes. It rides on Shelby American Racing wheels dressed in Pirelli P Zero Nero tires from 2014. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
Inside, a new black leather Deluxe interior has been installed including adjustable bucket seats with Carroll Shelby signature embroideries in the backrests as well as a Shelby-style roll bar, retro-style shoulder belts, a Lecarra Shelby-style steering wheel, and new digital gauges. An air conditioning system was also installed along with a Pioneer stereo. Other accessories include a custom center console with cup holders, Cobra emblem floor mats, a GT500 dashboard badge, and polished Shelby American door sills. The seller reports all gauges and accessories are fully functional.
Power comes from a carbureted 427ci V8 stroker crate engine paired with a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission and a rebuilt 9” rear end. The car also features exhaust headers, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and coilover suspension front and rear. The seller reports the are no outstanding maintenance items at this time and several invoices from the restoration are provided for reference in the gallery.
This sale will include build documentation and a clean title.

As we wind down into the final hour of this Shelby GT500 Eleanor Tribute auction, we always want to mention a couple of helpful housecleaning items before we reach the end:
1. Make sure to refresh your web browser prior to the end of the auction. Wouldn’t want you to be off of the auction clock timer. We have seen this happen with heavy web traffic and bids right at the end. The clock resets for every bid under 2 mins, so no need to wait to bid!
2. We are happy to assist with worldwide shipping, so bid with confidence that we will get the car to you safely. You can message us directly for a quote post sale.
3. This is a RESERVE auction, but we are looking for its next custodian today.
4. We will be monitoring the comment section and our emails for the remainder of the auction, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
5. Have some fun! Fill the comments section and ask us anything you need to know before bidding.
Best of luck!
