A Glimpse at the New Contender
Recently, we came across some photos of a stunning big tire Eleanor Mustang being built at Lar Jeff Race Cars. This isn’t just any Mustang—it’s equipped with a powerhouse PJ's Racing Engines 499 Hemi. This is the same engine combination that has propelled racers like Jim Howe and Alex Laughlin to impressive speeds and performance levels.
The Power Behind the Machine
For those not familiar, the screw blown setup, particularly this 499 Hemi, is one of the most potent combinations in the NPK circuit. Jim Howe clocked an astonishing 207 mph at the London Dragway under less-than-ideal conditions and recently hit 371 at 203 mph. These figures are a testament to the sheer power and potential of this engine setup, often outperforming other screw blown and pro charger combinations in the series.

Meet the Team
Driving this beast of a Mustang will be Cole Pez, who is Brandon Pez’s son. The Pez family, well-known in the racing community, is renowned for their dedication and expertise. When you have a team like the Pez family behind an NPK car, you know it’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. It may take some time for them to dial everything in perfectly, but once they do, expect them to be a dominant presence on the track.

This new Mustang isn’t just about performance; it’s also a sight to behold. With its sleek lines and powerful stance, it’s a beautiful addition to the NPK lineup. And it’s not the only screw blown 1967 Mustang joining the fray—Justin Swanstrom is also building his own version. However, the Pez family’s Mustang stands out, and with their racing acumen, it’s bound to make waves.
