Eleanor Mustang Rides Again
Thanks to the efforts of Classic Restorations, fans of the classic 1967 Ford Mustang that was immortalized as Eleanor in the film Gone in 60 Seconds, will be able to get their hands on one. This is one of the most sought after Ford Mustangs and nearly impossible to get. However, these new editions will soon be available to the public in a limited number.
The press release issued jointly by Halicki Films and Classic Restorations stated, Halicki Films Company, producer of the motion picture "Gone in 60 Seconds," is pleased to announce that Classic Recreations has been selected as the exclusive, first ever, officially-licensed custom fabricator to build the iconic "Eleanor" Mustang from "Gone in 60 Seconds." "Eleanor" captured everyone's hearts in her reprisal role in the 2000 feature film "Gone in 60 Seconds," starring with her leading man, Nicolas Cage. Now, for the very first time, movie fans and Mustang enthusiasts alike can own their own authentic, officially-licensed "Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor" collectible vehicle.
Halicki Films Company granted Classic Recreations the license to build the only genuine "Eleanors" after numerous visits to the company's Oklahoma factory and a full battery of rigorous background and criteria checks. The agreement grants Classic Recreations the right to license the intellectual properties held exclusively by Halicki Films Company, including the copyrights, trademarks, trade dress and logos in and to "Eleanor" and "Gone in 60 Seconds," and "Eleanor's" one-of-a-kind, amazing movie looks, in connection with the manufacturing, marketing, sale and distribution of the officially licensed collectible "Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor."
The new Eleanor will be available in two models, both the 535hp FI or the 770hp FIS Model. The FI can reach speeds in excess of 172mph. The FIS has a specially engineered rear suspension and both models include the famed “Go Baby Go” button. Pricing ranges from $140k up to $190k for the 770hp version.
The release also noted, "Eleanor" is built on a classic muscle car frame but with high-tech materials and technology to produce the reliable power and handling of a modern-day factory race car. These custom-built, high-performance Mustangs are handcrafted to order by Classic Recreations and offer such performance features as coil over suspension, sequential fuel injection, oversized slotted and crossdrilled Baer brakes, and a 410cid Keith Craft Racing engine. "Eleanor" also comes equipped with a Tremec TKO Manual or Automatic Transmission, Posi Traction, Concept One serpentine drive belt system, braided stainless fuel lines, air conditioning, custom sound system, and five-point Simpson harnesses. Additional owner-specified upgrades can include leather interior, keyless entry, and custom in-dash DVD and satellite navigation and entertainment systems.
"We wanted to make sure the company we chose to build the very first authentic, officially licensed 'Eleanor' was credible and reliable, and, more importantly, that they are truly craftsmen. Classic Recreations' passion for the Movies and 'Eleanor' can be seen in the company's handcrafting work. They're making show cars," said Ms Denice Halicki.”
