Specs

Powertrain

Engine: A 427ci Windsor crate motor from Coast High Performance topped with AFR heads and ignited by an MSD ignition produces a nasty bark through the custom-fabricated exhaust system.

 

Power: The 520 hp pulls hard on the track but is quite streetable.

 

Transmission: A Tremec TKO five-speed easily handles the abuse Gary doles out regularly.

 

Rearend: Straight from a late-model Cobra Mustang, the centersection is an aluminum 8.8 with 3.55 gears.

 

Chassis

Frame: The stock Mustang unibody was stiffened up with custom subframe connectors and chassis bracing, as well as boxing plates to tighten things up. A four-point rollcage with seat brace strengthens the rear of the fastback and eliminates suspension-induced flex.

 

Suspension: In front, the shock towers were left in place and braced internally to limit flex and increase load handling. Aldan coilovers connect to Total Control Products control arms. In the rear, an '03 Cobra IRS system was used, and all mounting points were upgraded with urethane bushings. The IRS retains stock mounting points, but a custom cradle was necessary to achieve the desired ride height and suspension geometry. Another set of Aldan coilovers takes the place of the stock springs and shocks.

 

Brakes: Baer brakes, the same as are used on GT500Es, measure 13 inches in the front, with PBR two-piston aluminum calipers, and 12-inch rotors are used in the rear, with PBR single-piston calipers.

 

Wheels: Gary wanted a vintage race vibe for the wheels but in a modern size, so PS Engineering 17x8s were selected for the front with 17x9.5-inchers out back.

 

Style

Body: There are a lot of subtle body mods, but the look stays true to the original '68 Mustang fastback body lines. To accommodate the desired stance, the front fenders were widened and flared 1 inch, while the quarter-panels were widened 2 1/2 inches per side and flared. The front fascia, one of the few Eleanor pieces used, required significant modification to achieve the desired finish. A stock steel hood was stretched 4 inches and topped with a handmade, functional hoodscoop. The rockers were integrated into the body, and the exhaust exits through the rear of the rockers ahead of the wheelwell. The quarter-panel ducts are handformed pieces that direct air to the rear brakes.

 

Paint: Not Eleanor spec, but the PPG Titanium with Pearl Silver stripes fits the image.

 

Interior: The interior has a very '67 Mustang feel to it, although there isn't a single original piece used. Fast Ed's in Torrance, California, re-covered a set of Scat seats, but everything else was fabricated, including the aluminum dash inserts.
