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]:
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.
