This rotisserie-restored 1968 Ford Mustang Eleanor Tribute Edition
was granted an official license and Certificate of Authenticity
issued by Eleanor Licensing LLC for Eleanor's character, looks and
image as it appeared in the 2000 film "Gone in 60 Seconds." It
comes with the genuine Eleanor certification paperwork, as well as
the Eleanor body VIN plate and emblems issued by Gone in 60 Seconds
LLC. This fastback conversion was fully reconditioned, and almost
every nut and bolt on this car is new. This Mustang has shakedown
miles only. It has all the movie-correct Eleanor body modifications
and accessories, including the side-exit dual exhaust and the wired
Go-Baby-Go "NOS ARMED" dash switch (non-operational) and Eleanor
nitrous bottle and shifter knob. Under the distinctive domed
Eleanor hood sits a freshly built Ford FE 428ci big-block engine
with aluminum heads and fuel-injected with eight downdraft stacks.
This engine is coupled to a factory-issue 4-speed Toploader manual
transmission with a Hurst shifter. It exhales through ceramic
headers and a 2.5-inch throaty exhaust, which exits through the
side rockers. The exhaust system is equipped with electric exhaust
dumps controlled from the driver's seat so the exhaust volume can
be instantly adjusted from a full muffler to deafening open
headers. It was designed to be a perfect blend between the iconic
Eleanor styling, with updated and modern driveline and suspension
for improved reliability and performance. All the 1967 factory
suspensions were replaced and upgraded with rear four-link rear
suspension with adjustable coilovers, a stout Ford 9-inch rear end
and front adjustable coilover shocks with power steering. It is
equipped with Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled and
slotted rotors. In addition, it is cooled with a quality aluminum
radiator and electric fan. It is professionally finished in Pepper
Gray Metallic two-stage PPG exterior paint along with rich black
Rally body stripes and multiple layers of clearcoat over the top.
The underside and the engine compartment areas were prepared as
meticulously as the exterior and painted body color with many coats
of clear to allow it to be wiped down with ease. Everything is
Eleanor-correct, down to the proper sequential taillights,
stainless-steel bullet-style sideview mirror and Eleanor-style
flip-up gas-filler lid. It is equipped with vintage-style modern
air conditioning and has an electric trunk release. The all-new
deluxe interior features custom seats and a custom center console,
with stainless-steel billet trim on the dash and on the door
panels. The rear area is equipped with a matching factory-style
fold-down seat with the NOS bottle located behind it. It also has a
custom-painted roll bar with certified seatbelt harnesses. The
factory-style dash cluster is fitted with retro-styled brand-new
modern Velocity gauges and a custom wood-styled vintage steering
wheel. Entertainment is provided by a RetroSound stereo with
Bluetooth connectivity. The interior accessories, extensive gauges
and lighting - including the front driving lights and fog lights -
operate and function correctly with the flip of a toggle switch. In
addition, it has custom show-ready red LED lighting in the engine
area, cabin and exterior ground effects powered by two 12-volt
batteries. This Eleanor fastback rolls on custom Eleanor-style
wheels with performance tires. It comes with a full start-to-finish
build book with over 150 restoration photos and a 30x40-inch
professionally assembled "Gone in 60 Seconds" framed presentation
of the official movie poster, along with authentic officially
signed photos of lead cast members Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie.
