Eleanor in Gone in Sixty Seconds
Speaking of Eleanor, here’s the 1971 Ford Mustang Sportsroof featured in the 1974 film Gone in 60 Seconds — which was redressed as a 1973 Mustang. “Eleanor” was the code name for four different cars used in the beloved H.B. Halicki film, about an insurance investigator who steals cars on the side.
Gone in 60 Seconds was also a triumph of indie filmmaking: Halicki shot it for a reported $150,000, and it went on to make $40 million — enough to buy a lot of beautiful cars.
