1967 FORD MUSTANG "ELEANOR" GONE IN 60 SECONDS | |
In 1995, Denice Halicki licensed the rights of
the 1974 film to Disney for a remake of the same name. The new 2000 Gone
in 60 Seconds film, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, features Nicolas Cage
as master auto thief Randall "Memphis" Raines. Both films share plot
similarities about a crew of thieves' who steal a large order of cars
(48 in the original, 50 in the 2000 film) and deliver them to the Long
Beach docks. Once again, the "Eleanor" name is given to the film's
featured car; now a pewter, 1967 Ford Mustang fastback with a customized
body kit designed by Steve Stanford. Twelve cars were built by Cinema Vehicle Services for the film (in addition to a 13th car with a 428 for producer Bruckheimer). Nine were shells, and three were built as fully functional vehicles. Seven were reported to have "survived the filming made it back to Cinema Vehicle Services" according to research by Mustangandfords.com. Of the surviving vehicles, three cars have been offered to the public with claims of originality and screen-use in the film. VIN: 7R02S211287 Sold at Barrett-Jackson's 2009
