1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 – Codename – Eleanor
The Shelby GT 500 codenamed ‘Eleanor’ was the most important part of the whole movie. The car was synonymous with performance at the time, which is why the car was so popular. The GT 500 had one of the best engines ever used in a Mustang. It had bold styling and performance, which made it quite unique. The GT 500 was equipped with a 7.0-liter (428 cubic inches) V8 engine known as the “Cobra Jet.” (via Robb Report).
From a performance perspective, the GT500 was a completely different car from the rest of the pack. The performance was jaw-dropping and the movie wouldn’t have been as good without featuring this awesome ride. Ford had some of the best designers in the world on this car and it still looks as good today as when it first hit the road.
