The Deluxe Marti Report confirms this Mustang rolled out of the factory as an R-code 428 4V GT fastback before getting the Eleanor treatment. That's a much rarer starting point than the usual small-block donor cars you see in most tribute builds.1967 Ford Mustang Eleanor TributeBring a TrailerThis build isn't just about looking the part. Along with the rebuilt 428 V8, you get upgraded suspension geometry, rack-and-pinion steering, Wilwood brakes, side-exit exhaust, air conditioning, and a Tremec five-speed. It nails the Eleanor vibe but drives like a much newer machine.Final ThoughtsThis Eleanor Tribute Edition is in a league of its own in today's Mustang market. Movie-car tributes always turn heads, but building one from a real R-code 428 GT fastback puts this car miles ahead of the usual Eleanor crowd.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat's also why the auction comments are buzzing, with purists debating if a rare R-code like this should have stayed stock. No matter which side you're on, the mix of pedigree, modern upgrades, and barely any miles makes this one of the most interesting first-gen Mustang auctions to keep an eye on right now.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
