Built by licensed Eleanor builder Ikonic Concepts, this 1968 Ford
Mustang Licensed Eleanor 25th Anniversary Limited Edition was
issued "Gone in 60 Seconds" licensing to recognize the 25 years
since this iconic movie character thrilled audiences worldwide. It
is a certified Eleanor build, not just a "Tribute Edition." It has
a fresh professional rotisserie restoration, with only shakedown
miles, and almost every nut and bolt on this car is new. It has all
the movie-correct Eleanor body modifications and accessories,
including the Go-Baby-Go NOS switch and shifter knob. Under the
domed hood sits a freshly restored Ford big-block FE 428ci V8
engine, with aluminum heads and equipped with modern FI-Tech EFI
self-learning fuel injection and eight retro downdraft stacks. The
engine is so fresh it is still filled with break-in oil and only
has shakedown miles since the restoration. The engine is coupled to
a Tremec TKO 5-speed transmission with a hydraulic clutch and Hurst
shifter. It exhales through ceramic headers and 2.5-inch exhaust
that exits through the side rockers. It is also equipped with
remote control "exhaust cutouts," so the exhaust tone can be
varied, from full mufflers to wide-open headers. It is cooled with
a heavy-duty aluminum radiator. The suspension is upgraded to
four-link in the rear, a Ford 9-inch rear-end, front and rear
adjustable coilovers, sub-frame connectors and four-wheel Wilwood
disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. It was professionally
finished in the correct Pepper Gray Metallic two-stage exterior
paint, rich black Rally body stripes and drenched in clearcoat over
the top. The underside of the fastback conversion and the engine
compartment are painted body color with heavy coats of clear over
the top, so they can be wiped down with ease. The exterior body
gaps and panel alignment are laser-straight and the custom body
modifications and side scoops were hand-fitted for 90-degree seams.
It features custom show-ready red LED ground effect lighting, along
with lighting in the engine and cabin areas. It was fitted with a
laser-cut backlit "Gone in 60 Seconds" emblem between the rear
taillights. It is equipped with two 12V batteries, along with a USB
port for in-cabin phone charging. This Eleanor rolls on custom
Eleanor-style wheels with performance tires. The all-new deluxe
interior features custom "Gone in 60 Seconds" logo-embroidered
seats and a custom center console with stainless-steel billet trim
on the dash and door panels. The cabin area was completely treated
with Dynamat sound-deadening material. The rear area is equipped
with a matching factory-style fold-down seat with a non-operational
NOS bottle located behind it. This car also has a custom-painted
roll bar with seatbelt harnesses. The factory-style dash cluster is
fitted with a retro-styled all new modern Velocity gauges, a
tilt-steering column, power windows, power door locks and a custom
wood-styled vintage steering wheel. It is also equipped with
ice-cold air conditioning and an electric trunk release. Sound is
provided by a RetroSound stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. This
limited-production "Gone in 60 Seconds" Special Edition 25th
Anniversary Eleanor fastback conversion had its dash signed by
Chuck Picerni, who was the original stunt coordinator for the 2000
movie production. It is also documented with Eleanor certification
paperwork, body VIN plate and emblems issued by Gone in 60 Seconds
LLC. It also includes 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 authentically signed photos of lead cast members
Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie
