Thomas Russo, also known as Thomas91169 on our Mustang Forums, sports a 2002 Mustang GT “Eleanor” as his daily driver in sunny California. The car does an amazing job at imitating the classic 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500-E “Eleanor” that was made famous in the movie Gone In 60 Seconds. Enough talk and on to the important information such as the pictures and modification list!

The Future
Thomas’ next plan is to add a 31 Spline Eaton Posi with 31 Spline Axles and 3.90 gears, a T56 swap to handle the motor, which will be prepped later on for either Naturally aspirated + nitrous, or a Turbo application (still undecided), and a fuel system to boot. He is also working on custom fiberglass side scoops to replace the current ones on his car. You can check out his progress in this thread: Fiberglass Mustang Side scoops.
