The Eleanor thing is WAYYYY overplayed. I'm not a fan, and I'm disappointed in the way Shelby whores his name out these days. It's just not the same as it used to be.

If you look at their Site, Carroll Shelby has nothing to do with this car. The widow of gone in 60 seconds has license this build. I have seen this car up close. It is ALOT ALOT better then Unique performance's car. I build A Super Stang that use a blown 5.4 mod motor with Six speed, RSS front coil overs, & Floating 9" Rearend. This a One of kind build that I have seen anyone doing yet. We will be taking it on tour this fall. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This Stang is Tunable from a laptop from 550 HP to 950 HP.

Your cars look impressive. It's interesting to see a mod motor used in a serious build up of the older car.

Yes yours Looks Good. What custom interior you going on yours? I was wondering your went so far on your body, but you didnt Blast the car to new metal on the old parts that were left. We did the Blown 5.4, 4 Valve mod motor 2 years ago. We are gearing up for full production on this series of cars for 2009. The days of people getting over 100k for push rod motors are almost done. The new Mod motors is so amazing you can do just about anything you want with them.
The Eleanor are so old news now. What we are doing is make something very Fresh. Very Modded New School. We will have our second one done is September. What are you doing for your computer control system? What we did was a custom program the has 7 performance settings from Stock 550 HP up to Crazy 950 HP. ![]() ![]()

Your car looks nice. I'm just not a fan of changing the classics that much. I think they were great the way they came, and thee's no need to change the appearance. I have no problems with changing the drivetrains, but I think it should stay true to the era. Again, nothing against your cars. It looks like you do good work, but it's just not my style.

I love the look of the old fastbacks! From the 1965 2+2 to the 1970 Boss 429 and every one in between. Mess with the drive train, braking and suspension all you want, but the actual outside of appearance of the cars looks best untouched I think.......

mustang one the car I am doing was torn down to bare body and then sent to the blaster it was done with star blast inside and out the only panels you see on my car that were not blasted are the pieces I installed. The repro panels come black and all the shelby stuff comes fiberglass. All electrical components on this car are Ford straight off the shelf nothing is modified from stock 2008 gt 500 Kr. I have a man here that works with nothing but modd mustangs and he will scan the systems and also program the computer for me.The interior is still alittle in the air the car was at one of the largest auto shows this weekend in its unfinished state and the response was unreal. I am going to offer these cars to the general public also but I am not going to get caught up in the mass production part. They will each be hand built with my hands and my helper but I will have full control of quality. I have 2 others to build now for previous customers and that is all I will try to do in one year. I like the looks of your car but I wish I had larger photos or your suspension system and interior. Good luck with your venture RED

Yes I see that one photo. Your car looks great. Good luck with it. if there is anything I can do to help you let me know.
All of our car are hand built still. our builds will be Limited to 21 Modd Stangs .... we will not fall into the the unique trap. we just want Great cars for what we do. Every car is a Awsome Driver... Bad A$$ driver but still a driver. Me as well, I like the classics Stangs !!! but there is room for some twist on the old Girl. Look at the 2005 and on... Those some awsome cars based on the 1967 Fastback. |

I'd love to swing by. If I have time, I plan on it. We're flying in to Riverside (long trip from ada...lol). I need to look at my itenerary, because sometimes we have to drive our passengers, so if we do that, I won't be able to make it.

Im 8 miles from Riverside airport. Just head west on the creek turnpike. it is a pretty straight shot. If you land heading north you will pass right over me. When you see the Sapulpa Water tower, im 1/4 mile south, south side of the turnpike.
I have 8 Fastbacks 3 Convertables 4 Coupes in process right now. Just a few to look at. |
