The classic 1967 Ford Eleanor GT500 was a fearsome beast in its day, with a 428 cubic inch big block rippling the pavement courtesy of an astounding 355 horsepower. It's also the car made famous as "Eleanor," Steve McQueen's awesome ride in the original movie Gone In Sixty Seconds.
With so much heritage to this classic car, I knew this build had to reflect that hardcore stance and styling everyone grew to love. In an attempt to stay true to the mechanics and design, I began with the classic live axle rear suspension and an inboard suspension style in the front with Ackerman steering and torsion bar.
The car also sports front and rear headlights, motorized hood and trunk, 2 XL motors for drive, 1 servo motor for steering, 1 or 2 Buwizz (or 1 or 2 lipo batteries with 1 or 2 Sbrick) in the trunk, a chrome V8 engine block with gold pistons, working fan and blower, snap back doors.
