CJ Pony Service Eleanor is ALIVE!

CJ Pony Service Eleanor is ALIVE!

Posted on 21. Jul, 2010 by in Performance, Restoration, Videos

The Eleanor project over at CJ Pony Service is on a roll, literally! About two weeks ago, we posted a story about CJ Pony Service creating a 1967 Eleanor from a Dynacorn body shell and all-new parts. This week, they are proud to have this movie-inspired Mustang clone up and running!

Our service department has added a new exhaust system to the Eleanor, as the finishing touch before firing up the engine. The exhaust system included new BBK Fox-Body 351W swap headers, a matching BBK off-road H-pipe,  a Stainless Works side exhaust kit and a custom-made transmission mount. MAC flow tubes were used to connect the side exhaust kit to the H-pipe.

Once the exhaust was done, our technicians checked the engine wiring and mounted the battery before firing up the engine. Eleanor came to life on the first try and settled into a nice idle with no adjustments needed! Keep looking out for more updates on this project.

    Gotta love the lines of the ’67 Shelby. Eleanor is a bit smoother, tough. Very very nice!

    Very nice Creation/Restoration of the car. How much would we be looking to spend to get that type of vehicle?

    What was the total cost of this? Just wonder if it would of been cheaper to but one already done?

    It is almost always cheaper to buy one already done but then you get it built someone elses way, not the way you want it. To duplicate this car from scratch will cost over $100k. There is a good bit of money tied up in the fuel injected 427 and T-56 alone.
