We all know the Shelby Mustang dubbed ‘Eleanor’ from the movie ‘Gone In Sixty Seconds’ was a coupe but what if you could go topless.  That simple idea took one man over 700 hours to complete as he custom built a 1968 Mustang convertible with a removable hardtop.  With the project finished and looking amazing the owner decided to put the Mustang up for auction on eBay at No Reserve.


The 1968 Mustang features a 302 ci V8 engine with 351C heads and a Holly double pumper 700 carb that is pumping out around 330 horsepower but the engine is just a small part of what this vehicle is all about.  What makes this vehicle unique is the matching hard top that mounts over the convertible top.  Its truly a unique feature rarely seen which sets this Eleanor clone apart from the rest.


As of writing this the auction has received 50 bids with the high bidder at $35,100.

1967 Ford Shelby GT500E SuperSnake Eleanor

1967 Mustang GT500E Resto Mod “Eleanor” is a very well-known muscle car, but the featured resto mod owns a tuned/built Coyote 5.0L engine 475 hp, custom headers, exhaust, rack and pinion steering, cold air intake, automatic TCI transmission. The mere mention of the name conjures up images of “the ultimately modernized Shelby Mustang”, the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds” & legendary performance & good looks.
