Engel offers two engine choices for Eleanor. The horsepower gurus engineered a bulletproof tire-shredding package that is happy idling on the street or roaring down the road course. Both Windsor-based engines are 410-cubic inch strokers that feature a forged rotating assembly housed in a brand new block. Ported heads and a custom roller cam keep things breathing, and digital fuel injection keeps the car reliable. The naturally aspirated R model produces 535-horsepower and will propel Eleanor to a 172mph maximum velocity. The supercharged S version, which uses lower-compression pistons and a centrifugal blower, cranks out 770-horsepower and can theoretically propel the car beyond the 200mph mark. Every Eleanor includes a billet serpentine belt system, air conditioning, all braided stainless hoses, and a custom hidden wiring harness. Transmission choices include a Tremec TKO 6-speed or 4-speed automatic.
Other cool details include custom bolstered leather front seats, a fold-down back seat, custom stereo system with optional nav, optional nitrous injection, even keyless entry. Each car takes over 2,500 manhours to build, and every vehicle is built to order. Building cars to order means that each owner can have a one of a kind Eleanor. Classic Recreations' most recent Eleanor, the flat black, radar detecting, "Stealth Eleanor" will be on display at this year's SEMA show.

Quick question that is sort of on/off topic. Does anyone recall who the Japanese automaker was that had the miniature "fastback mustang" style body from the late seventies, early eighties?
