Title: Eleanor - one of the original movie cars on eBay
Post by: Shelby_r_b on November 08, 2019, 06:12:52 PM
Yes, the moment that most (especially Brian Glover 😜) have been waiting for: one of the “original movie cars” from Gone in 60 Seconds (Eleanor) is on eBay. No affiliation. The link is below:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Ford-Mustang-Shelby-GT-500/193196669232

Is it possible to have a barn find Eleanor? 😏

Here’s the verbiage:

Opening bid of $45K (currently no bids):

1967 Shelby GT-500 Eleanor movie cars from the 2000 movie Gone in 60 seconds remake staring Nicolas Cage. The car was designed by Steve Stanford (Hot Rod illustrator) and Chip Foose. It was built by Cinema Vehicle Services (CVS). CVS built a total of 13 Eleanors .The 12 used in the movie shoots were built from regular (non Shelby) 1967 Mustang fastbacks. The 13th Eleanor was built for the movie producer from a real GT500.
Whether the two wrecked cars were rebuilt - or whether surviving shells were built up into functional cars

Seller will pay shipping If you require more details .

please give me a call at  706-905-3792.

01 body code?

If they were built out of 67 fastbacks, what is this?

For purposes of the movie, why would they ad AC to the car? A lot about this car looks fishy to me.

The seller is telling the story of the movie cars, I do not see where he is specifically stating this is one of them.  ::)

Purposely ambiguous no doubt

And, how often does the car seller offer to pay for shipping.  Seems a little fishy to me.

Must include original movie lot dust.  Otherwise, why not clean up car?

That will look great in your garage...out out in the field in the south forty. 

Note the sideways-clocked passenger side headlight.  That proves it's legit. That's how the ballers roll in H'wood.  Just like how the bangers aim their handguns.

Now, now, a dealer potentially shilling an auction, say it is not so.

Reminds me of a certain Shelby dealer who did so with his personal account once  ::)

We do not have an Eleanor movie car built from a real Shelby listed in the Registry. I would think that would have been reported to us by now.

What about the one Randy Sizemore sold the movie company? I don't think it was converted but I believe it may have been used in the last scene where a beat up 67 non elenor Shelby is given to the main character.

Bob,
   The movie company approached me about purchacing mine.I refused because they said it was going to be a "crashum up bangum up"remake of gone in 60 seconds. Had I know it was to be used in last seen I would have rented it to them as they sugested. All that aside I was upside down in the car at $1000. HA HA
