Youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiJKNgbILLA 1968 GT500E Eleanor Mustang with rebuilt 428 Super Cobra Jet , New Tremec TKO 600 5 speed trans, freshly done restoration with almost everything on car being new. Engine was previously in my 68 1/2 Mustang CJ car and performs very well. Car originally started as a 302 efi w 5 speed w current suspension(w exception now of heavier loaded springs and Lower A Arms). The transmission was obviously upgraded to a new TKO 600, beefier driveshaft(NEW $400 from Mustangs Plus in Cali.), clutch,etc once the big block was dropped in. An ASE certified mechanic (Phillip's Automotive) installed the Painless wiring harness, and also spent countless hours redoing all the brake/fuel lines in an effort to hide them in the engine bay.Mike(Phillip's Automotive) also has done or redone(due to age of parts and appearance) the entire car from exhaust to new ignition switch everything mechanical and a great deal of custom fabrication work. Included in these details would be the tig welded custom polished aluminum covers for the Mustang II upper A arms in the engine bay,the beefed up motor mounts, customizing the x brace so it can be removed (if necessary) to work on undercarriage, the heat shield for the Wilwood master cylinder, the custom Jet Hot coated headers and polished stainless exhaust. Very talented fabricator with an emphasis on cleanliness and details,details, details. Any interested parties should contact myself and you may speak with the talented people who built this car. This GT500E clone also features shaved drip rails, cowl vents have been deleted and as aforemetioned custom polished exhaust. Please call for other details that help set this vehicle apart. I will be glad to answer all requests for pictures and information. I encourage potential buyers to come and see this car in person or have an appraiser to come out and check out this vehicle. Unlike the majority of cars out there this one has a true big block which is what the GT500 was all about!
