Ford Shelby Eleanor 1967 - Qatar
Hi Guys,
Just wandering if anyone on QL knows about this car or where i can get the cars engine computer programmed.
The one we have is the original Eleanor with "ford racing" engine.
The ford service shop in industrial area dont seem to know anything about this car.
Any help would be greatly appretiated :)
won't make the engine smoke, unless you burnt a hole in the piston, of something to that effect... if the engine had an ECU system working at the time, if should not have happened at all....
LoL Brit im pretty sure hes drooling over the car :)
Wow tats a booti !
Are you drooling over Samya or the Car ? :O)
*drool mode* Samya you accept Western Union money transfer????
Thanks all for your help...
If anyone has any questions regarding buying the car they can pm direct :)
My friend had the same thing with his 1966 Playmouth Barracuda, failed the technical check for blue and black smoke he went to Alkhraetiat there is a good shope for carburators there you might wanna try it, worked like a magic and passed the check.
67 shelby with 2010 engine might as well put a 7 disk CD changer in it. These cars come with crappy stereo system.
Beautiful car i must say.
Do you know which injection system you have? Its not a standard
Ford efi system from what i can tell.
I guess it is aftermarket type msd,holley or fast.
Do you have the software to map it?
I might be able to help you then.
Cheers
Geir
I dont know if you guys have watched the movie" gone in 60 sec"
this is the classic car from that movie.
Samya where did you buy this?
Any chance you want to sell it?
hey would u like to sell this car...i like to buy it...
Try the threestar workshop in industrial area street 24 - next to qatar technical inspection. But I would not drive this car - I just would put it in my livingroom and enjoy it....
I guess the issue has something to do with the fuel octane rating settings but it can be programmed with a remap or some sw tweak.
Many vehicle manufacturers recall their cars in Asian markets for sw update because of fuel rating/quality related issues.
this is not the same one listed for sale on qatarsale?? awesome car but the price is too high and u have only one place who can help u regarding this car, collector emporium showroom koz i see too many classic cars there and they have connections to get parts for such an old car. lookin to sell this elanor? how much?
Have to admit it, that its a beautiful machine....its truly a beauty!!! Absolutely love it!!!
Try posting this query on Ford forums, either tuning or this specific model.
Maasha Allah nice ride!

SamyaUK, Having a 2010 engine makes it easier than the sophisticated '67 twin-carb.
Your best bet is to contact Mohammad Bin Sulayem (the Middle East Rally Champion) in Dubai. He has a performance shop where he upgrades and work only with super engine cars.
I know him in person and his passion towards racing cars in general and Ford in particular would probably entice him to find a way for solving your problem. (You might have to ship the car their or they have to come here with some of their electronic devices to calibrate the engine).
I envy your hubby. He has two treasures: This master piece and you for finding him a solution ;-) Good luck.
Here is his contact details:

Lincoln - The engine is new 2010 Ford racing - Fuel Injection
Perhaps the best option is to contact someone from the Qatar Auto Club group on QL.. They should know someone "trustworthy" to do the job..

Good Luck!
It's a carburator below the air filter, man. There are no chips in those days, as brit said. You have to adjust the carburator. Maybe also the timing. And, and, and...
nice ride...
this is carburator or fuel injection?
Error
Brit - The car only needs programming for engine because my hubby changed the petrol and now the engine is smoking.
DJT78 - Thanks :)
unfortunately I cant help but wanted to say what a beautiful car!!!
Do you want the engine programmed or blue printed ?
These engines are not chipped by the way :o)
