Introduction
At All American Muscle, we specialise in classic car restorations, custom builds, and right-hand drive conversions. With a passion for detail and craftsmanship, we take pride in transforming vintage icons into modern-day showstoppers — while preserving their original soul.
This Eleanor build is a showcase of that work — the detail, dedication, and engineering that goes into every project we take on. From a legendary Coyote V8 heart to a track-ready chassis and a hand-finished interior, every element has been chosen to honour the Eleanor legacy while delivering modern muscle you can drive every day.
Engine Bay
At the heart of this Eleanor build lies a legendary Ford Coyote 5.0L V8 engine, paired with a manual transmission to deliver an authentic, high-performance driving experience. Known for its reliability, power, and modern engineering, the Coyote platform brings cutting-edge technology into this classic icon.
The entire drivetrain is supported by a standalone electronic engine management system, ensuring precise control, seamless integration, and tunability to suit the vehicle’s performance goals. Custom-engineered engine and transmission mounts have been installed to provide maximum stability, reduce vibration, and maintain proper geometry under load.
All systems are filled with premium high-performance fluids, carefully selected to ensure optimal cooling, lubrication, and longevity. From the motor oil to transmission and differential fluids, every product used is designed to meet or exceed OEM standards for high-output applications.
This drivetrain setup not only provides modern muscle and responsiveness but does so in a way that’s reliable, cleanly integrated, and built to handle the demands of spirited driving — all while maintaining the soul of a true Eleanor.
Sub-Frame
The foundation of this Eleanor’s handling and ride quality is built on a PRO-G Front Subframe K-Member Kit, engineered specifically for 1964–70 Mustangs. This Gen 2 front suspension system dramatically enhances structural rigidity, steering response, and performance capabilities while reducing weight and improving serviceability.
Equipped with tubular control arms, the setup ensures sharper turn-in and improved front-end geometry. The addition of 2-inch dropped spindles not only refines the stance but lowers the centre of gravity for superior cornering stability. A power rack and pinion steering system has been integrated to deliver precise, modern steering feel with minimal effort — transforming the classic Mustang’s driving dynamics.
The ride is controlled by a set of black-painted steel coil-over shocks, paired with 500lb silver springs to balance comfort with spirited road performance. A Coyote & Mod Motor Mount Kit has been fitted to accommodate the new-age drivetrain with factory-level fitment, ensuring strength and reliability under all conditions.
To handle the output of the 5.0L Coyote and support manual gear transitions, the chassis is further reinforced with Tremec T56 6-speed transmission mounts, designed for seamless integration into the subframe system. Altogether, this suspension and mounting package delivers a track-ready foundation, maintaining the aggressive character of the Eleanor while introducing modern composure, control, and confidence on any road.
Interior
The interior of Eleanor masterfully combines vintage charm with performance-driven sophistication. The cabin features custom black leather upholstery, meticulously crafted with contrast stitching that adds a refined touch to the aggressive nature of the build. A brushed aluminium dash panel houses Carroll Shelby-style white-faced gauges, delivering a race-inspired aesthetic while providing essential performance data at a glance.
The deep-dish 3-spoke steering wheel, with its classic woodgrain rim, ensures precise control and a timeless look. A Hurst-style shifter with a cue ball knob sits at the heart of the cockpit, offering both form and function with a direct link to the car’s powerful drivetrain. For added utility and style, the interior includes a Shelby-style centre console, along with an integrated roll bar for enhanced safety and authenticity.
The modern sound system, cleverly integrated to preserve the clean lines of the build, delivers high-quality audio without compromising on the vintage aesthetic. Completing the interior’s iconic look is the signature “Go-Baby-Go” nitrous switch mounted on the gear shifter, paying homage to the car’s cinematic roots. Altogether, the interior design strikes a perfect balance between aggressive street machine energy and refined, race-inspired details — staying true to the Eleanor legacy while offering a comfortable, high-performance driving experience.
Exterior
The exterior of Eleanor is an iconic blend of muscle car aggression and timeless design. The car is finished in a custom silver metallic paint, with signature black racing stripes that run from hood to rear, making it instantly recognisable. The body is enhanced with flared fenders and a custom front chin spoiler, giving it a more aggressive stance and improved aerodynamics. The front grille is a classic Mustang design, featuring black mesh and custom headlights, paired with Cobra-style fog lights for a bold, high-performance look.
The car sits on American Racing Torque Thrust wheels, wrapped in high-performance tyres that complement the muscle car’s overall aggressive vibe. The side scoops are a tribute to Shelby’s design, enhancing the vehicle’s aerodynamics while adding an unmistakable styling cue. The chrome side mirrors and custom billet gas cap bring subtle yet striking details that elevate the overall aesthetic.
At the rear, the Shelby-inspired tail light assembly with LED lights ensures modern functionality while staying true to the original design. A distinctive dual exhaust system exits through the rear, providing an authentic muscle car growl, and the custom rear spoiler further enhances the aggressive look while improving downforce at high speeds. Every element of the exterior design is crafted to honour the Eleanor legacy while integrating modern performance elements — a perfect blend of classic styling and modern muscle.
