If you know, you know. You don’t need any more words than Eleanor to know that we are talking about a 1967 Ford Mustang that starred in the film, Gone in 60 seconds. Whether you are talking about original film or the later variations, these films were basically a series of car chases wrapped loosely around a car stealing ring story with a contract to deliver.
Eleanor has always been a desirable car and over the years there have been a few replicas. But now an American firm has committed to a limited run of recreations to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film.
That is the 25th anniversary of the second version starring Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie. Not the original which was made in 1974 and wrote off 93 cars in the film making process.
Cinema Muscle Recreations LLC, has announced the launch of “Eleanor: Gone Again,” a project to produce a limited series of the 1967 Ford Mustang-based ‘Eleanor,’. The goal of this project is to deliver the ultimate Eleanor, preserving the authentic look while enhancing the performance with subtle modern updates.
They will develop and build a limited-production run of 25 cars, badged and certified as Anniversary Editions, crafted by the same team who built the original film cars 25 years ago. Under the direction of Randy Wolff, CEO of Cinema Muscle Recreations, the project team also includes Ray Claridge, founder and former owner of Cinema Vehicle Services, which produced the original Eleanor movie cars for the film. The cars will be faithful to the original design, while incorporating modern updates and delivering the highest levels of performance and quality. Customers will be invited to specify their cars individually, and each car will be built to-order. A certificate of authenticity, signed by the project team, will accompany every vehicle.
