 Eleanor
|
The 1973 Eleanor was a movie car from the independent filmmaker H.B. "Toby" Halicki's 1974 film Gone in 60 Seconds. It was actually a 1971 Mustang in 1973 Mach 1 trim. Two Eleanor cars were used in the movie, a "beauty" version for close-up shots, and a stunt version used for the high speed chase scene. The high speed chase scene is considered one of the best movie car-chase scenes of all time. Another is the the movie "Bullitt" which featured a 1968 Mustang!
