ARROYO 65 ELEANOR - 1965 MUSTANG CP
CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.
The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!
THIS CAR WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD.
This is my 1965 Mustang CP nicknamed “65 Eleanor.” This car was raised from the dead. It was sitting in someone’s yard for many years, full of trash and bushes growing through the trunk.
If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
I decided to create a one of a kind Mustang and Eleanor was born. It has a worked 351W with a 750 Holley. Everything chrome including suspension and stainless steel mirror in the undercarriage. It has custom interior with a killer sound system. All the bolt covers in the engine and throughout the car are made of billet aluminum as well as the radiator cap, oil and trans dipstick, foglight covers and pretty much everything else.
The Cobra logo and Eleanor are engraved in all of them. Believe it or not there are 185 Cobras throughout the whole car including undercarriage. It’s never trailered and always an attraction in The Philly Auto Show.
Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
