The starr of the movie was the Shelby GT500, codename Eleanor. The company Cinema Vehicle Services with help of designer Chip Foose produced 12 "Eleanors" for the production of this film. None of the 12 were actual Shelby Mustangs but converted standard 1967 Mustang fastbacks. Only 7 survived
the filming in various states of repair, a
nd the other 5 destroyed during stunt sequences. A 13th Eleanor, based on a real. 1967 Shelby GT500 was also prepared by Cinema Vehicle Services for producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but never appeared in the film.
The only true Shelby GT500 in the movie was given to Nicolas Cage's character by Giovanni Ribisi's character at the end of the movie. The owner agreed for the vehicle being used as long as it was returned in the original condition. Every part that could be unbolted, was and replaced by a junked replacement part.
Automotive auction house COYS is planning on selling one of the original seven Eleanor movie cars left at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham, England on Saturday January 14th, 2012.
Most of the Eleanor Mustangs made for the movie were built for exterior shots, while this one was created with a full interior to be used for dialogue and action shots featuring the actors. According to the supplied copy of the build sheet, in addition to the bodywork modifications, the preparation of this particular. 1967 Mustang fastback involved replacing the 4.7-litre V8 with a 5.7-litre Ford Racing crate motor fitted with a big camshaft and 700cfm Holley 4-barrel carburetor. The suspension was lowered with coil over front suspension by Total Control Products and Wilwood disk brakes all round with 6 piston callipers on the front. Though not functional in the movie, the side exhausts were made functional by Cinema Vehicle Services when filming was completed. The Fuel Safe tank is filled through a Mach 1 cap on the C-Pillar.
According to Coys, the auction house that consigned it, values the car for at least €100,000. So if you want a car with that famous "Go baby go" switch on the gear lever, tune in at that auction house, and prepare for a good auction workout!
