Project Elenore
This exceptional 1967 Eleanor Tribute Mustang began its life as a celebrity-owned vehicle, originally belonging to none other than Dr. Phil McGraw. According to the 2010 Marti Auto Works Standard Report, the donor car was assembled in San Jose on September 14, 1966, and delivered to Salt Lake City. Originally built with a 289 CI V8 engine and a C-4 Cruise-O-Matic transmission, this Mustang has since been transformed into a true high-performance icon.
Finished in the iconic Pepper Grey with bold black racing stripes and a matching black interior, the car perfectly captures the aggressive, timeless style that made the Eleanor legend famous.
Under the hood, the Mustang now packs serious muscle: a professionally built 408 stroker engine based on a 351 Windsor block, featuring a new Barker Performance Holley carburetor and producing an impressive 475 horsepower. Bringing that power under control are high-performance Wilwood brakes with slotted discs on all four corners.
Handling and ride quality are elevated by a fully adjustable Heidts suspension system, including a 4-link rear setup, coil overs up front, and both front and rear sway bars. Every component has been chosen for precision, performance, and reliability.
A defining element of this build is the custom bodywork: door handles, seams, and rails have been expertly shaved for a smooth, seamless silhouette that turns heads from every angle. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the car are nothing short of extraordinary.
Meticulously maintained in a climate-controlled environment and showing low mileage, this Eleanor Tribute remains in flawless condition. Owned by a dedicated collector, the car comes with a full catalogue documenting its extensive three-year build, including all specs and features—available for review at AutoEliteMarketing.ca.
