Be Still My Heart…

As we were driving down a dark road, in the middle of nowhere, on our way to Redmond, OR we passed this small car lot when something caught my eye:

Me- Oh, my god! Oh my god!

Sandi (distressed) – What!?

Me – It’s Eleanor!

Sandi – What!?

Me – It’s the Mustang from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds!

By this point we were a quarter mile past the lot and we’d already been in the road for three plus hours (all of which Sandi drove) but despite that, Sandi (who is the awesomest wife) – looked over at me:

Sandi – Do you want to go back so you can look at it?

Me – YES!

The lot (unfortunately) was closed so I could only look at it through the glass [click to embiggen]:

Be Still My Heart... | 1967 Eleanor Mustang

Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds was a one-off made by Cinema Vehicle Services for the movie. Later, Classic Recreations started to produce the car using ordinary 67 Mustangs and if they’re still available they go for around $100,000.

I’m not sure if this is a genuine Eleanor but it looks like it is. Wow, sitting in some car lot in the middle of nowhere.
