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 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 Ford Coyote 5.0-liter aluminum-block engine equipped with
modern Holley Terminator X EFI self-learning fuel injection and
eight retro downdraft stacks. The engine is coupled to a Tremec TKO
five-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 cooled with a heavy-duty aluminum
radiator. The suspension is upgraded with four-link in the rear, a
Ford 9-inch rear-end, front and rear adjustable coilovers,
hydro-electric rack & pinion steering, electric e-brake, 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.
