I have been a Mustang fan since I was 11. I currently own a stroked 351w 88 Mustang but this is my favorite mustang of all time, oh the things I would do for it.
After watching th original gone in 60 car chase, then know that 1 car did all the stunts is amazing. the fact after all that damage it still drove. Yet they needed 11 just to do a remake. Still love the car. Man, do i want one.
if you think about it, eleanor really is a true work of art for muscle cars. even if you dont like mustangs, every person i have met loves the eleanor mustang. plus it pretty much started the revolution of the gran touring look for american muscle. the up most respect to the eleanor mustang! great car, keith
Well done guys great job me and my brother are going to try and tackle making a Elenor from a 67 mustang in a kit form but because i love this car so much i have added this video to my youtube so i can watch it when all the time thanks for the vids Jason
This car is now located in Norway by a family that collects famous movie cars. The cars i know they got is This car, The Eclipse and Skyline from 2 Fast 2 Furious and the one and only Dodge Charger that was in the last Fast and Furious. Saw all of them at Oslo Motor Show and i have to say that this was my favorite! Gotta love this car! :D
Most people won't beleive this but I sat in The 7th stand in movie car where Mr.Cage sat. I live in Australia and Eleanor was parked at a mechanic in springvale along with a 1970 Boss 429 ,a Dodge Challenger and a drag Dodge dart.
Absolutely the nicest Eleanor package I have ever seen. And knowing how much it costs to build one yourself, the pricing is VERY fair. I want those gauges!!!!
i completely agree with the guy under me. I sometimes dream about this car. Its kind of sick but i watch the movie AT LEAST once a week every week. you guys are sweet!
Well, I drive my dad's '66 Pontiac GTO so I would love to drive this thing. Personally I like old cars more than new cars, but I still use a new car as a daily driver. I like the ruggedness of muscle cars. There are no airbags, 2 point seatbelt, no abs, no traction control, no stability control, and a manual transmission. Its just you, the car, and the road and thats how it should be.
That was unique classic cars that went out of business not everyone can do this kind of quality craftsmanship with this drivetrain this is not a backyard mechanic job its well worth it
For an $140,000 or $180,000. You can get this car at auction for $90,000 (including commissions) or buying it off of someone for less than $80,000. These guys got caught swapping VINs so I don't know how you could ever trust them. Also the dashboard is different in the movie. There are plenty of replicas made of this car. 11 Cars were made for the movie 3 were used and of those 3, 2 were destroyed. The other 8 cars sell for $250,000 depending upon if the person wants to sell. For $180,000 why not just buy an original for $300,000 and it will retain its $250,000 value instead of dropping to $80,000. Original sold at Mecums in May for $1,000,000.
man i wouldnt care if the car is heavy or any of the stupid little things, that car puts a smile on my face anytime i see it, you can keep your ferraries/supercars i would take this anyday because there is a legacy with that car
i see your point but its not just about the performance, its more about the uniqueness. A car is a true representation of yourself as a person (imo). having a rare machine thats pretty powerful is well worth the money if you can afford it and like it.
watched a documentary 4-27-11. A reverse in color was shown. Where it's gray it was black and where it's black it was gray. He called the gray -pepper gray. But it was the only one i've seen in a different color than what we all are used to. It looked really bad ass black, which was originally what one guy wanted the color to be as of what was said in the documentary.
The answer to that question is simple: they use the best technology available for these builds, and that technology doesn't come cheap. In that regard, they're like Unique Performance ... however, unlike Unique Performance, they actually make sure the customers get what they want.
There used to be a dealer in Texas that had the rights to this I thought. I think it was Sanderson Ford and they had 3 models to choose from. there was the base 351 version, and then the 2 this guy here has, basically to the ' T ' and the only difference is they didn't have all the " Gone In 60 Seconds " or " Eleanor " logos all over the place. Regardless, it's still one badass machine!!!
@DizzyMan24 It wasn't so much the damage that they needed 11, just that they built them for specific tasks... One went insanely fast (part in the flood overflow channel), a few were built for jumps, one was built for superior handling, another for going fast in reverse, a few with minor to major damage for show, a few for in-car shots (many did not even have an interior) and so on... The original only needed 1 because it was built like a tank, they just did minor repairs onsite...
Yes, stevetheguymcg, there was. It was an outfit called Unique Performance out of Farmers Branch, Texas. They had a licensing arrangement with Carroll Shelby to produce the GT500E, a Shelby Mustang based on the Eleanor vehicle. Unique Performance has gone out of business due to ... questionable business practices investigated by the Farmers Branch Police Department.
@doritostheking Yep they sure did, and the later build UP cars actually had the fixes installed. The fixes do help with the cars driveability. Some of the improvements included XFI 8 stack EFI and the super snakes are much more reliable and have more power to boot.
I suspect there is one difference: With Classic Restorations LLC, you can be sure of getting the car, whereas with Unique Performance ... let's just say that Carroll Shelby probably regrets doing business with that outfit.
And the thing is, I was a fan of Unique Performance when I first heard about them from an episode of the 'Rides' TV show on TLC. I became a bigger fan after seeing them on Hot Rod TV. I couldn't believe it when I first heard about the allegations and problems. I wonder what Shelby will do now.
@collegeparkwhiteboy nevermind. i had it completely ass backwards. i always thought their were more cleveland engines that windsors but it turns out that all those 351's in the trucks and vans are windsors.
No matter what, if you are a petrolhead, this has to be in your "top 10 garage"... I live in Denmark, and about 10 miles from me. lives the guy who ownes the only real eleanor in DK. he passed me on the freeway some time back, and the sound... allmost made me wet my pants... Maybe i should trade in my skyline... (and borrow the rest from the bank hehe)
wow, that exhaust sounds beautiful
Very cool. Nice to see a shop not afraid to take on projects like this.
I live in the town where these are made, always drive by to see what cars they have completed. Love the work!
$189,000 car, filmed with a 39¢ potato.
Sick.... I just fell in love all over again with this car.
Gonna order one as soon as I win the lottery! I already own a gorgeous Shelby GT500 and would love to have this awesome Eleanor. Great video guy's.
I have been a Mustang fan since I was 11. I currently own a stroked 351w 88 Mustang but this is my favorite mustang of all time, oh the things I would do for it.
Saw the press release, and it looked incredible. Good to finally see it in action, every last detail, even down to the exhaust note.
After watching th original gone in 60 car chase, then know that 1 car did all the stunts is amazing.
the fact after all that damage it still drove. Yet they needed 11 just to do a remake. Still love the car. Man, do i want one.
yeah, its agreed. youll be seeing me very soon.

Mel Con.
if you think about it, eleanor really is a true work of art for muscle cars.

I just fell inlove with this car all over again.

my dream car, this must be the most beautiful car ever created!!
If I ever win the lotto this is the first thing I am going to buy. This is so awesome it makes me want to cry.
"they realize, that Im not a maniac" *floors it*
Absolutely the nicest Eleanor package I have ever seen. And knowing how much it costs to build one yourself, the pricing is VERY fair.
I want those gauges!!!!
This is the kind of car I always wanted: retro design, but with state-of-the-art technology
This car is 10 years old now... still rocks
this brings a tear to my eye
What a beauty!!
If I was a millionaire, I would buy this car in a heartbeat. I honestly believe that this is the most beauitiful car ever made.
i completely agree with the guy under me. I sometimes dream about this car. Its kind of sick but i watch the movie AT LEAST once a week every week. you guys are sweet!
i want to drive it so much, that engine makes the greatest noise ever
gorgeous
Well, I drive my dad's '66 Pontiac GTO so I would love to drive this thing. Personally I like old cars more than new cars, but I still use a new car as a daily driver.

what a masterpiece!
i wish they would start making these in the factory and sell them in the market today. the best ca everrrr!!!
That was unique classic cars that went out of business not everyone can do this kind of quality craftsmanship with this drivetrain this is not a backyard mechanic job its well worth it
god...the sound of the engien is just bliss

Yup I remember they got shut down.. For swapped vin's.. And stolen car's.. With fake vin #'s.. Too..
That sounds like heaven.
man i wouldnt care if the car is heavy or any of the stupid little things, that car puts a smile on my face anytime i see it, you can keep your ferraries/supercars i would take this anyday because there is a legacy with that car
I love this car!!!

DAMN MAN. THAT CAR IS SICK
this will be the one of the only mustangs i will ever give my respect too as a chevy guy
LMFAO, awesome movie quote! i don't think anyone else caught it, fit perfectly to the video and your post. damn thats my laugh of the day
watched a documentary 4-27-11. A reverse in color was shown. Where it's gray it was black and where it's black it was gray. He called the gray -pepper gray.

GT500 Eleanor and a 1969/70 Chevelle SS would be my perfect 2-car classic garage.
Why not?? I'm 16 and I'm sure I would love this car more than a lot of adults.
this is an absolutely beautiful peice of engineering, mean kudos to u guys, lol, if only i had the money
oh yea i checked on there website and it does say it wow thats great, nice to know that they think of things like that
All you need is is a bright yellow '71 mach1 you got the real McKoy - this is as convincing as a Star Wars toy.
Thats such a nice car it is literally my dream car. Just shows how materialistic I am.
Iam pretty sure one of these would help my mid life crisis . Great car .
I love it
Very nice.
Lucky man to be able to build these cars.
This car is amazing!!! I love that!!!! I want ELEONOR!!!
Amen to that !!! Hell Yeah baby
There used to be a dealer in Texas that had the rights to this I thought.

Regardless, it's still one badass machine!!!
All you need is a '67 Mustang Fastback, '67 Mercury Cougat tail lights, the Elenor body kit, and alot of time.
sweet!
oh my god what a fricking sound those things make, even on idle. When I become rich your my first stop :))
nice. thanks
That's how classic kicks modern in the butt
Makes me wanna Cry ......Freedom on wheels...!
I already have the body, now quarter million on parts! this specific vehicle is my future.
I still want this car...
This is Great Car
god, im gonna start saving 189,000 now haha. i really want that damn car. the 750hp one though. just incredible
What a dream... Damn!!!
$180,000 is nothing for that amazing piece of machinery
Steve Stanford designed Eleanor, Foose built it. So we owe alot to Stanford for getting people into Shelby again.
that mustang is tooo wicked.
That car is a gun in wheels! I just got to have one!!
Holy freakin cow!
Even Halicki's official website says it's a QUOTE "1971 playing the role of a 1973".
good, very good

@doritostheking Yep they sure did, and the later build UP cars actually had the fixes installed. The fixes do help with the cars driveability. Some of the improvements included XFI 8 stack EFI and the super snakes are much more reliable and have more power to boot.
thats the spirit
the real car didnt actually get crushed, thank god. and i almost cried too... and a gm guy!
I suspect there is one difference: With Classic Restorations LLC, you can be sure of getting the car, whereas with Unique Performance ... let's just say that Carroll Shelby probably regrets doing business with that outfit.
And the thing is, I was a fan of Unique Performance when I first heard about them from an episode of the 'Rides' TV show on TLC. I became a bigger fan after seeing them on Hot Rod TV. I couldn't believe it when I first heard about the allegations and problems. I wonder what Shelby will do now.
@collegeparkwhiteboy nevermind. i had it completely ass backwards. i always thought their were more cleveland engines that windsors but it turns out that all those 351's in the trucks and vans are windsors.
Nice
I want that car!
I would give one of my kidneys for this car!!!!!
No matter what, if you are a petrolhead, this has to be in your "top 10 garage"... I live in Denmark, and about 10 miles from me. lives the guy who ownes the only real eleanor in DK. he passed me on the freeway some time back, and the sound... allmost made me wet my pants... Maybe i should trade in my skyline... (and borrow the rest from the bank hehe)
@TheJulz91 i would have thought it was nitrous? but on that replica i dont see any nos solenoids or anything being said about it...
