JakeM741 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 About a year ago my dad and I went to a Barrett Jackson Auction in Arizona and picked up a 1968 Shelby GT500 with the whole Eleanor kit, a doul-carb 429 Cobra Jet engine along with a 30 shot NOS Canister that went into the carbs. We redid the NOS lining and put it directly into the cylinders for a better boost and less chance of the entire engine catching fire. When you press the NOS button the car is producing about 780 horse power at the back wheels. This is what it looked like when we first got the car... That picture was taken at a carshow in Filmore, California where we took the best muscle car award. A few weeks later we went to another car show at Saugus, California and there was another GT500 with the "Eleanor" kit on it, and that just ****ed us off to be exactly like another car. So instead of dealing with it, we decided to do something about it...which is how the car ended up looking how it does now :) Now we call her Heleanor :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerm Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It's scary how nice that car looks from the outside. Need a full front corner shot of it now, like the before shot. How much did you get it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did you get it for? Bought it for $65,000 and we've gotten offers for up to $280,000...I think we just got lucky at the auction, and its in a lot better shape now that it was when we got it...the first week it backfired into the hood and caught on fire lol...so we've done a lot of work to it.

JiveMasterT Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Wow, that looks very nice. Also, is that an 8ball shiftknob on there? I don't remember that being on the original eleanor car so I'm assuming that if that's what it is, you put it on there as part of your conversion? It is pretty hot though... no wonder it wins shows.
