Gone In A Cool Million
The most famous of all Eleanor's fetches seven figures at auction

Sold last week at the Mecum 26th Original Spring Classic Auction in Indianapolis, this 1967 Ford Mustang was the automotive focal point of the 2000’s hit movie Gone in 60 seconds, and when the gavel hit this one was gone in a cool million. There were eleven Eleanor's created for the movie, but this was the famous Eleanor Mustang driven by Nicholas Cage in the films closing scenes.

Want one for yourself but don't care about it actually being from movie? Head over to classic restorations and I'm sure they would be happy to build one to your exact specs.

Here were the specs of this Eleanor according to the Mecum auction site:

- Hero Car used in Touchstone Pictures "Gone in 60 Seconds"
- Nicholas Cage's primary beauty car used for close ups
- Featured in all movie poster and promotional efforts
- VIN: 7R02C179710, built by Cinema Vehicle Services
- This car started the "GT500 Eleanor" epidemic
- The most recreated car since the Shelby Cobra
- Presented in movie-used condition with minor touch ups
- 351/400 HP Ford crate motor, 4-speed manual
- Power steering and brakes, Go-Baby-Go shifter button
- Lowered suspension, coilovers, PIAA driving lights
- Schmidt 8x17" wheels, Goodyear F1 tires
- Equipped with nitrous but not functional
- Custom body kit with new fender flares, side skirts with exhaust outlets, trunk lid and hood

Buyer=Dumbass

 

^ I understand what you are saying. No matter my net worth I personally would not pay that amount, but the value of something is measured in what someone is willing to pay!!

 

Brobbins is it worse than that dipshit who paid 43.8 million for a blue painting with a white stripe down the middle? I think not.

 

Wow. That's still pretty crazy.

Thanks for posting, DJ!

 

Back in 2006 I saw this car at the Chicago auto show and it was along for next to nothing. Maybe 90k.

 

So replica's are a few hundred thousand; is this really worth 2-3x that.....not sure. Either way, it's still an AMAZING car, and one i'd kill to own someday.

Congrats to the lucky new owner; let's just hope he drives the thing!

 

If it was you, yes, you freaking dipshit.

Skeet Davous wife can out Jeep him. Anyday, anytime.

Fag.

 

My wife will out jeep almost anybody. And look hot while doing it.

 

I would not mind sitting in that and playing pretend for a bit!
