A Pony is Born
'65-'66
Mustang 2+2
If you have ever wondered what "2+2" stood for look no further! This question bothered me for the longest time and I have found the answer!
The Mustang 2+2 refers to the fastback Mustangs from 1965-66, and is called so because the two rear seats were able to fold down, unlike the coupe. Hence '2 drivers seats + 2 rear seats', if you want to use them.
The Pony Grows Up
'67 & '68
Yes! That is a factory supercharged Shelby Cobra from 1968! You could special order a Paxton centrifugal supercharger for your Shelby Mustang. While very rare, these kits are reproduced today and can be purchased through Paradise Wheels of San Marcos, California.
1969 & 1970
The Pony on Steroids
The Last of the Early Years
1971 to 1973
You thought Eleanor was a pristine '67 Mustang designed by Chip Foose? Maybe in 2001, but in the original 1974 Gone In 60 Seconds, Eleanor was your run-of-the-mill 1973 Mustang. The original Eleanor is shown here, all bruised and battered from her 40-minute chase scene. The longest chase scene in history.
