Genuine Eleanor Mustang! Built as a surplus car for Movie promotion - it was not driven in movie just used as a
promotional photo/video shoot car. "Gone in 60 seconds". Genuine 4 speed GT 390 fastback recreated as a Shelby
GT500E. 428 big block, Nitrous, new suspension, ground pounding, legend of a car! Las Vegas, NV USA car.
Vin:8T02S217570
Mechanical: The car has under 5500 miles on it since it was completed in 2005. It has never been raced or abused
and is in mint condition besides a few minor blemishes that can easily be fixed. During the restoration and
creation of this car, everything was disassembled and rebuilt. The engine and transmission are brand new, with $20k
spent on the engine alone. Every piece of the braking, fuel, and suspension systems is also brand new. Thanks to
the Tremec racing transmission, this car can easily cruise at 60mph at only 2000RPM. It is the perfect combination
of classic look and feel with modern enhancements. No expense was spared to build it and it needs nothing but a
driver. We had a body shop quote $3000.00 to get the car completely perfect again. It has a few minor small
fiberglass cracks and chrome molding around windshield needs replacement. You'll see these in more detail in photos
upon request. Clear NV Title. Ready to be driven daily.

Exterior:
The car has been finished in beautiful Pepper Grey Metallic with Black Metallic stripes (DuPont fleet 44490 and
44435) just like the Eleanor in the movie. The paint shines from all angles and the car is absolutely flawless. The
car appears to have been well taken care of prior to restoration and shows no signs of rust or rust repair
anywhere. Of course, no Eleanor would be complete without the Eleanor kit. This car has the correct headlight
bezels, billet aluminum upper and lower grills, front lower valance, hood, front fender flares, rear fender flares,
side exhaust skirts, exhaust scoops, lower side scoops, tail lamp panel and Shelby GT500E lights to make this car
correct. The kit fits the car like a glove-all of the seams line up perfectly and it's as if the car came from the
factory with them. To complete the look, the car sits on the correct 17" Eleanor wheels and new tyres.
Interior:
This car is as perfect inside as it is outside and under the hood. It has been updated with brushed aluminum dash
panels, leather racing seats, a Lacarra wooden Shelby steering wheel and a CD player. A rollbar with 4 point
harnesses are also installed for safety. The interior looks brand new. Anti sway Bar, and a tune up just done. The
power sticks to The pavement.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
