Vehicle Detail
1968 Ford Mustang Fastback GT500E “Eleanor”This is a REAL 1968 Fastback with Vin#8R02J125394. It was built to be full show and go, incorporating all of the best old and new technology. This build started from a VERY solid and real 68 V8 Fastback. The final build is very fresh, only having about 60 miles on the engine. The car has been detailed inside and out and underneath to be appealing everywhere you look. From the REAL 428 Cobra Jet to the GT interior to the adjustable suspension, it has it ALL. The below list shows the extensive build that went into completing this project:EXTERIOR:The iconic gray and black paint combo shines over the this 68 Fastback. The fiberglass hood is a slight variation in style from your normal build but adds a ton of character to the front. Billet hood pins hold the hood down. Unlike other builds, you will find REAL working upper side scoops that feed into the rear seat vents. Also, the lower scoops add depth by having real “pockets” and not a flat finished surface. The LeMans gas fill is real and working. All brake, turn, reverse, and fog bulbs are LED (except headlights to keep old “yellow” light look). ENGINE and ENGINE BAY:Engine was just professionally balanced and assembled. Super clean and detailed from top to bottom. Engine bay has the shock towers removed. All wiring has been relocated and hidden. All holes were filled and smoothed to create an area for the engine to be the spotlight. This includes the color matched matte finish engine bay and stripes down the firewall. The heater motor and hoses were also deleted for a cleaner look.428 CJ Block (.030 over) Date Code: 9B7 (Has the “C” scratch in block casting) 428 CJ Heads #C80E6080-N Date Codes:8C13/8C22 428 CJ Crank #1UB 428 CJ Intake #C80E9425-C Date Code:9B11 428 CJ Front Cover 428 Fuel pump #C8AE6881-A 428 Oil Filter Housing #C8AE6881-A SCAT H Beam rods TRW Pistons HV Melling Oil Pump 427 Adjustable Rocker Arms Lunati Springs/Retainers/Locks Lunati Cam 10330505 Double timing chain All ARP studs and fasteners including rocker stud kit Canton Deep Race Oil Pan 428 Custom Painted Valve Covers Holley 750 4150 Race Carb (all mechanical) Doug Long Tube Headers High torque mini starter MSD 6ALN Distributor and Box (hidden in glove box) MSD 8.5mm Wires March Billet Pulley System Chrome Alternator Dual electric fans Aluminum radiator with polished overflow tank Lokar Dip Stick Custom front cover to hide the void behind the billet grilleDRIVETRAIN Continued:QuickTime Scatter Shield SFI 6.1 Tilton 6000 Hydraulic Clutch Bearing Wilwood Master and Billet Clutch Reservoir McLeod Racing Clutch Disc McLeod Pressure Plate Hays Billet Steel Flywheel SFI Rate Spec 1.1 Tremec TKO 600 5 Speed Custom polished aluminum driveshaft Currie 9” Rear 35 Spline Strange Center section - 3:70 gear Strange 35 spline pro pinion supportINTERIOR:Real GT interior parts Roll Bar Custom Center console with matching voltmeter and fan switch (Auto ON or manual) Go Baby Go Shifter Nitrous Switch with working light Crow Harness/Seatbelts Fire extinguisher with billet roll bar brackets Shelby steering wheel Autometer gauges Dash trimmed with aluminum inserts Billet parking handle TCP Aluminum pedal coversUNDERCARRIAGE:Undercarriage is as clean as the exterior Sealed with an epoxy coating Sub frame connectorsTRUNK:Custom suede trunk with matching stripes Taylor Battery box Master disconnect switch on rear of box Master 500 AMP fusing in battery box Billet NOS tank mount Polished NOS tank Stainless NOS hose to bulkhead mount SUSPENSION:Heidts Mustang II Font suspension with upgraded adjustable coilovers Power Rack and Pinion steering Custom 4 Link Rear suspension with color coordinated parts Adjustable rear coiloversWHEELS and TIRES and BRAKES:Coy 17” Wheels mounted on 1” custom spacers Custom hub centric rings Power disc brakes on all corners Cross drilled and slotted rotorsThere is a small flaw in the driver side reverse light housing bodywork. It is barely noticeable as seen in the pics but wanted to mention it. I have the original VIN door tag but it has been replaced with a new Marti tag. There are probably details that are missing from the list. Please ask for any additional pictures, info, videos, etc. As you can see from this list and pictures, it will be hard to find another with every detail covered in the build. The car also comes with a custom fit satin/fleece car cover that is form fit. If you are interested in the truck and trailer setup with the car, we can discuss a price for the full package.Please call/text 908.310.3142 (Mike) with any questions.Youtube Video walk around: https://youtu.be/7IRSy-JX0R4SHIPPING: I can assist with moving the vehicle for national or international shipping.
