Say Hi to 2,500-Horsepower “Helleanor”

By Detroit Steel

There’s been some buzz around this one; negative buzz on some accounts. I’ll just come out and say it: it’s got a Chevy motor. OK, I know the FAIL alarms are sounding in your brain, but that name alone is enough to pique the interest of most, even for those who aren’t Mustang fans.

The ’67 Fastback known as “Helleanor” (not to be confused with Nicolas Cage’s ride in the film Gone in 60 Seconds) has a Chevy 388 small block V8 with an earth-shattering 2,500 horsepower. Yes, it’s Chevy-powered, but it’s 2,500 horsepower. Give it a chance.

Enough from me. “Helleanor” does a pretty good job of introducing herself in the Urban Hillbilly video below.
