The 1967 GT500 was an officially licensed reproduction of the car – code-named Eleanor from the Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie movie.

While the 2000 film has cult status rather than being a box office hit Eleanor earned her place in car culture to spawn a variety of imitations.

Between 2007 and 2009 only Classic Recreations of Yukon, Oklahoma, was allowed to reproduce the on-screen hero.

Finished in the Eleanor colour scheme of Pepper Grey featuring two full-length black racing stripes and a black leather interior the car, serial number 0019, was completed by Classic Recreations in early 2008 over the course of 2,500 hours.

Its listing states: “This is a complete reproduction of a 1967 Mustang Fastback built by Dynacorn under the licence of the Ford Motor Company.

“It has a 6.7-litre Keith Craft Racing V-8 engine that is fed by a mass flow fuel injection system.

“The engine delivers 545 horsepower via a Tremec manual transmission.

“Special “Eleanor” touches include the 17-inch Phil Schmidt Engineering wheels, Gone in 60 Seconds badges, and the small matter of a disarmed nitrous system that would be activated by the “Go-Baby-Go” red button on the gear level.

“The car also features Scat Rally Series 1000 seats, five-point harnesses, a woodgrain aluminium steering wheel, 1967-correct Mustang Deluxe door panels, dashboard, and trim, plus air conditioning and electric mirrors.

“An homage to one of the most famous cars in modern cinema history, and with the official blessing of the movie’s makers this Mustang “Eleanor” by Classic Recreations is certain to attract plenty of attention wherever it goes.”
