A head-turning custom classic, this Ford Mustang 289 Hardtop has been transformed into an Eleanor tribute, echoing the famous film star car from “Gone in 60 Seconds”. It is powered by a 429-cubic inch (7.0-litre) V8 engine, sending power to the rear wheels via a four-speed Tremec top-loader manual transmission. Originally built in the USA and since imported to Australia, it is now offered for sale with a compliance date of January 2024, and has been registered in Victoria. The odometer indicates 87,455 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1967 This Mustang 289 Hardtop has been comprehensively reimagined in the style of the “Eleanor” hero car, featuring a Dupont Pepper Grey exterior finish with twin satin-black racing stripes, flared wheel arches, integrated front and rear valances, side-exit exhausts, side air scoops, a powerbulge bonnet, Shelby-style tail lights, and driving lights set within a custom front bumper. Inside, the cabin features black vinyl upholstery with a brushed metal-effect dashboard inlay, a ‘Carroll Shelby’ signature decal and a Shelby GT500 badge on the passenger-side dashboard, and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 17-inch Halibrand-style alloy wheels finished in grey with polished lips and faux three-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Winrun R320 tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, quick-release bonnet catches, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, heater and ventilation controls, and push-out front quarter light windows. Further upgrades include an aftermarket gear shifter with ‘Go Baby Go’ button, a Nitrous switch with a rear cabin-mounted NOS bottle, a RetroSound stereo, a Holley 650 carburettor, an MSD Blaster 2 coil, an Aero Flow lead set, a Centreforce Ford 11 clutch kit, a finned air filter housing, performance-style pedals, Ford Motorsport-branded rocker covers, and Eleanor World Registry plaques under the bonnet and on the door sill covers. Accompanying the car are a Worldwide Eleanor Registry Certificate (No. 458), PPSR search certificate print-outs, and various receipts, as well as two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car has been repainted as part of its Eleanor tribute conversion. This Mustang’s most recent maintenance was carried out approximately two months ago at around an indicated 87,423 miles, when the engine received new oil, leads, and spark plugs. This Ford Mustang 289 Hardtop Eleanor tribute offers a dramatic reinterpretation of an iconic American muscle car, equipped with a powerful 429ci V8 and unmistakable styling cues from a cult movie classic. With a recently serviced engine and visual presence in abundance, this Mustang is ready to make an impact at local events, shows, or spirited weekend drives. An evocative custom, it would make a standout addition to any collection of American classics or film-inspired builds.
