Description:
1967 Ford Mustang Fastback 'Eleanor'Chassis no. 7F02CI59237Engine no. 7F02CI59237 Registration no. GT5Q0E When Ford produced the first Mustang in April 1964 it was an unparalleled success. Extremely popular, in that it was a good looking, sporty car in the lower price range, there was literally nothing else out there that could compete at the time. By the end of that year 263,434 Mustangs had been sold, and by April 17th 1965 celebrated its birthday with over 418,000 units sold, a new record for sales for a new model in its first year on the market.Competitors soon arrived thick and fast from the other manufacturers but the Mustang kept ahead of the game with new updates and variations including a convertible and in 1965 the 2+2 two-door fastback coupe. The Fastback was an iconic vehicle and appeared in the 1974 film 'Gone in 60 Seconds' which centred on a gang of car thieves ordered to steal 48 vehicles in just a few days. In the 2000 Disney remake of the same film, starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie, a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback with the code name 'Eleanor' appeared and virtually upstaged the Hollywood stars.This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback coupe has all the features and styling of the car that appeared in the film. An absolutely superb looking vehicle this American recreation features a 351 cu in 4V engine (as in an Ho Falcon); disc brakes on all four wheels; nine inch rear diff and 'Detroit locker'; the air conditioning is a Retro Air System; 245x40 17 inch wheels; functional side pipes; Pia driving lights; brushed aluminium dash an door trim; Tremec five-speed gearbox; La Carrera steering wheel.An immaculate car, which we are informed has the performance to match its looks, is finished in black and gold and was purchased by its current owner in 2006. Since then it has been maintained to the highest standards.
