I have to say the Shelby GT 500 has to be the best looking mustang ever, even the new ones look sick, the closest they have come to looking like the originals. Nice vid man the cars looks and sounds good.
Every since I saw Eleanor on Gone in 60 seconds, I have always been awed at the 1967 Ford Shelby. I love musclecars and I've got a camaro, but if I had the money to get a ford mustang, I'd take this one all day over the Saleen S7. That car sounded hot and loved that whistle!!!
Great car and I love that you are willing to show you can be a real man and enjoy a great song. Don't ever take that song down... let all the immature haters keep on getting angry over nothing.
I have listened to a lot of cars and i have never, EVER heard such a sweet noise come from an engine!!!! without doubt, in my eyes, the most desirable car on earth (followed by the ac cobra ;-)
I had a 69 mustang as a kid growing up. I did all the engine work myself, well except getting it bored and the heads milled. I ate Camaros and Firebirds for lunch and GTO' s for dessert. Love the Fords. Your 67 Stang looks awesome!! I was walking my dog the other day and I often criticize people for parking their cars in the driveway instead of the garage. Wondering what could possibly be in your garage worth more than your car. Then a neighbor moved his car and backed out his 67 Shelby.
im more of a tuner since i like japanesse cars but this old american cars are nostalgic and beautifull, every car lover should admit that we will never get the same quality now days as we used to get back then and this car is proof of that.
Yes, It's Men at work as a group who did this first, but Colin Hay was the lead singer for the group but did a solo album last year with an acoustic version of the M A W songs.
@67SuperSnake Okay for one, the song is perfect! Also, I have to watch this video at least once a month. This car is an absolute dream. If i had 200k dollars I would have bought it from you no problem! You did a fantastic job on this car and if you do anymore please make another video! I would love to see it.
you sir are a very lucky guy to be sitting in that driver seat of that gorgeous car! and i guarentee you that all 2.1 million people were thinkin the samething
theres one sound thats second to the sound of a car like that on the dyno...its a sound that brings a smile.. its the sound of the dyno winding down from a high pitch to a dead stop. when you hear that sound you know you got some big balls under the bonnet
Beautiful vid. Reminds me of my dad's old 427 racing modified pony. Two 4 barrel carbs are almost as good as fuel injection. That engine has so much power it almost feels like it's pulling itself apart when you goose it.
Thanks for all the kind comments. I did build this car. It cost me $121K to build... and 16 months of my time. Sold it for $180K last year. Overkill is the song (I know some do not like it, but Overkill is the only song that represent this car). I took a modified Z06 on the freeway from 60mph to >>>>..... he was 7 car lengths back at 160 mph.. ha ha Enjoy!!
I've heard that the shipping costs for Mustang parts make them VERY expensive you guys. offalyfan, thank you for the kind comment, and I don't mind you asking. I own a federal income tax company (just like H&R Block), but I started working with my dad when I was 9 years old, in a small tool rental company we owned. I learned very early on about engines, the value of a dollar, and how to build things. I like the older Triumph's & BSA's. A friend here in Texas loves rebuilding them.
Sanderson sold out to Unique Performance. They were selling the Super Snake @ $215k. Sold Out. I have used every single part from them to build my own, only to better and tighter specs. With A larger Supercharger. And GPS, and backup camera, and electric windows, power door lock , alarm, trunk release, better cooling, etc etc
Actually Carrol Shelby makes the 67 Shelby GT500E. They come with a supercharged 427 and have 700hp and cost $70,000. This information was in a magazine called the History of Mustangs
@benjy468 the Mustang (car) wasn't named after something in a movie nor was it named after the breed of horse (such as the one featured in Hidalgo, if I spelled that right). the Ford Mustang was named by the exec stylist at ford after the North American (now owned by Boeing) P51 Mustang fight plane flown by the US Army Airforce in WWII which is also my favorite air plane. and to those wondering I saw a comment on the 136th page (was wanting to see how far back it went :P) and had to respond.
Yes it is the supercharger. Vortech's centrifugal superchargers give out that sound when more air pressure is forced in it. But it sounds awesome to me just the same.
Supersnake Eleanors are very rare. This is one that was built with all Carroll Shelby "Authorized" parts from Unique Performance (authorized builder of the Eleanors' for Shelby). One of only 17 built. BTW, "Super Snake" designates a 427FE big block. It has been bored and stroked to 482ci.
Its a 1967 Shelby GT500E with a crate motor from an 05 or 06 Super Snake. I think its the modern version of the classic 302CID which was in the 68' model.
on 92 or 93 octane is available at all gas stations. Higher octane price goes trough the roof, and is harder to obtain, but is necessary when increasing HP through a supercharger or Turbo charger when you REALLY increase the BOOST pressure. I am only running 10 lbs boost. Keeping it safe so I don't have to replace any blown up engine parts.
no, this car is custom built from a stock 67 Shelby Mustang GT500 from a company(don't remember where) so if you have a GT500 and want Elenor...its do-able
i wholeheartedly agree that Roushe and Saleen will never compare to what Shelby has done, but at of current date, i'd pick a new Saleen over the new Shelby.
Someone had some money to spend. lol I've never seen rear suspension with shocks mounted horozontaly like that. What a friggin ride!... lucky thanks for sharing.
I built this car. Purchased the motor from Keith Craft directly. 815fwhp (from the dyno sheets provided from Keith Craft), but I think they are a little inflated. Chassis dyno was 575rwhp on a 90 degree day. done some more tuning since then. Probably have it up to around 625rwhp.
Eleanors big sister, the Super Snake, built by Unique Performance/Carroll Shelby WAS supercharged. Only they used a weaker S trim supercharger & I used a T Trim.
i want this engine inside a 1967 shelby gt500. i havent owned any cars in my life yet, dont have a drivers license yet. however, this engine inside that car i mentioned would be perfect as my first love...Girls come and goes, but your car stays forever!
Thanks everybody! It is OVERKILL, the car and the song... The song is performed by Collin Hay from Australia. Excellent performer! I personally like his version better than the original.
Im in love!! Love it! Love the color! Seriously, eargasim.... Wow. However, could have done without the music...
I have worked hard all my life and have been good to the people around me. This car is satisfying, but the friends I have grown to know.. means more!
Where is this car today? My all time favorite eleanor, i bought your buildsheet for this car years ago.
THE most beautiful car i have ever seen. that thing rips like no other!

Who would thumbs down this video? Seriously. This car kicks ass!
badass!! i have been wanting to do the same thing for a while once i get out of school. to see it done made my week!!!!!
the song makes the video 10X better. its all quiet and pleasant the all of a sudden. all hell breaks loose
I have listened to a lot of cars and i have never, EVER heard such a sweet noise come from an engine!!!! without doubt, in my eyes, the most desirable car on earth (followed by the ac cobra ;-)
the most beautiful car ever made, its looks so amazing from every angle

That... thing... is... BEAUTIFUL!! Im so damn proud of someone doing something as beautiful as this!
im more of a tuner since i like japanesse cars but this old american cars are nostalgic and beautifull, every car lover should admit that we will never get the same quality now days as we used to get back then and this car is proof of that.
Tried running this video on full volume. You owe me new speakers. Great car man!
Wow! A true American beauty! Thanks for building her.
Holy fucking shit my heart rate just tripled... i could watch this video a million times and it would never get boring...
I get a strange feeling in my chest when i hear that sound... i dunno what it is, but i like it...
That car is something else
It's stunning in black...I can not explain to you how much I want one =[ And I probably never will have one.
Yes, It's Men at work as a group who did this first, but Colin Hay was the lead singer for the group but did a solo album last year with an acoustic version of the M A W songs.
Whew...that beast is just deadly sick. May have some further tuning to do but it made my blood pressure jump about 60 points. Suh-wheet!
This is what all car should be like! Awesome!
Never been a fan of American cars but this one has got my attention..
@67SuperSnake Okay for one, the song is perfect! Also, I have to watch this video at least once a month. This car is an absolute dream. If i had 200k dollars I would have bought it from you no problem! You did a fantastic job on this car and if you do anymore please make another video! I would love to see it.
i like this car a lot its good to know you are taking really good care of it it looks like it hasnt been driven
Absolutely Stunning. Beautiful car mate. And with brawn to boot. I bet that puppy makes everyone that looks smile. Enjoy It 4 Life.
you sir are a very lucky guy to be sitting in that driver seat of that gorgeous car!
and i guarentee you that all 2.1 million people were thinkin the samething

This is the most beautiful car in the WHOLE world!
For sure...
5/5 stars
and to the uploader, I am speechless. very nicely done.
You are one lucky man to have that car. Looks like it's in top condition.
theres one sound thats second to the sound of a car like that on the dyno...its a sound that brings a smile.. its the sound of the dyno winding down from a high pitch to a dead stop. when you hear that sound you know you got some big balls under the bonnet
always loved the sound of the FE fords, imo the best sounding Ford engine ever.
he took the original and improved it by alot i love these body style mustangs
The big brother of Eleanor ... more powerful and robust.
Beautiful car!
wow.. amazing car, not to meantion the power this thing makes, all together makes it a true unique piece..
gorgeous, my friend has a 1968 GT500 427 with the paxton supercharger, beautiful cars from another time huh
Thanks! Been a long build. Hood on tomorrow, and then an overall video as soon as the damn rains stop.
some ones a lucky bastard.......thanks for sharing .fine piece of machinery indeed
Beautiful vid. Reminds me of my dad's old 427 racing modified pony. Two 4 barrel carbs are almost as good as fuel injection. That engine has so much power it almost feels like it's pulling itself apart when you goose it.
Well done, lad. Baddest car ever made. Period.
That funky ass car brings music to my ears!!!!
you have beautiful car!!!
and for tuning i have one word... RESPECT!
Thanks for all the kind comments. I did build this car. It cost me $121K to build... and 16 months of my time. Sold it for $180K last year.

Enjoy!!
i think i had a cargasm, im 17yo and ive wanted a 67/68 mustang since i was 4. you are a really lucky lucky man. loved to see more vids
Yes, I am the owner/builder. I purchased the car in Mar 06, and finished her Jul 07. But as many builders know, they are never finished!
Sweet Mustang. Great headlight set up you have there too!
I've heard that the shipping costs for Mustang parts make them VERY expensive you guys.
offalyfan, thank you for the kind comment, and I don't mind you asking.

Nice ride, been following your progress on the Stangnet forums....GRATS!

We are building one right now with a super snake motor from Shawn Highland motorsports Car is so amazing
beautiful car man.. love the chassis and drive train
The 427FE is rare, but is brand new. Shelby started producing these aluminum 427FE's in 2000, of which I purchased one.
WHOA. That was a nice cold chilling video.
Great upload.
Sounds like a freakn jet plane. Nicely Done.
What beautiful car! This is truly the stuff of legends.
@benjy468 the Mustang (car) wasn't named after something in a movie nor was it named after the breed of horse (such as the one featured in Hidalgo, if I spelled that right). the Ford Mustang was named by the exec stylist at ford after the North American (now owned by Boeing) P51 Mustang fight plane flown by the US Army Airforce in WWII which is also my favorite air plane.

That is one of the sickest things you will ever see and i llooovooooveveeee itttttttttttt
Thanks guys! It was a lobor of love. 16 months every other day working in the garage.
Yeah Baby!!!! Yeaaaahh!!!!! 1:28... Better than any music!!!!! My favorite Track!
oh what a beautiful sound!!!
Perfect! How nice is that?! Great car....great song. Good job!!!
the song is called overkill by collin hay
Yes it is the supercharger. Vortech's centrifugal superchargers give out that sound when more air pressure is forced in it. But it sounds awesome to me just the same.
Nice man. Keep it in good shape and you could end up with a ridiculously valuable car.
You lucky S.O.B. happy you stopped music at best bit!
I am a Croatian but i love America especially American cars
America for life
probably one of my favour cars ever.
dude im in love with your car! good luck with it!

I must say you are very happy to live in America,but only because there is something like this!
on 92 or 93 octane is available at all gas stations. Higher octane price goes trough the roof, and is harder to obtain, but is necessary when increasing HP through a supercharger or Turbo charger when you REALLY increase the BOOST pressure. I am only running 10 lbs boost. Keeping it safe so I don't have to replace any blown up engine parts.
no, this car is custom built from a stock 67 Shelby Mustang GT500 from a company(don't remember where) so if you have a GT500 and want Elenor...its do-able
i wholeheartedly agree that Roushe and Saleen will never compare to what Shelby has done, but at of current date, i'd pick a new Saleen over the new Shelby.
It is a master piece. Congratulations, my friend :)
NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE ! ! ! Awesome
it is poetry. pure poetry. the sound of god has been heard. blessed be the voice of god.
Someone had some money to spend. lol I've never seen rear suspension with shocks mounted horozontaly like that. What a friggin ride!... lucky thanks for sharing.

that block is runnin perfect....
Mustangs fucking rock. That's why they're the only car with the respected title, King of the Road.
"If God could drive a car, it'd be Eleanor."
