'Gone in 60 Seconds' Eleanor Mustang Heading to Auction Block

Crossing the auction block at Mecum's Austin 2014 auction on Dec. 12 and 13, will be one of three original Eleanor Mustang cars, built for the 2000 remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds."

Penned by hotrod designer Steve Stanford, Hollywood's Cinema Vehicle Services worked on the car by mocking up the vehicle's aggressive features by using clay and wood.

Fiberglass molds were then made to flesh-out the vehicle's front end, hood, side skirts, scoops and bulging fender flares, according to the auction website. Side exit exhausts, seen below, were added after the film was completed.

Interested bidders will find that Eleanor resembles a typical top end pro-touring Mustang, with a period-accurate 1967 dash, steering wheel and gauges, all of which are enhanced by the "Go-Baby-Go" shift knob, according to Mecum.

Under the Mustang, the vehicle fits a 351-ci Ford Racing crate motor, with a Holley 700 four-barrel carb and backing up to a four-speed manual gearbox. Eleanor's 17-inch Schmidt wheels helps put that power to the ground.

Though it was the seventh of 11 Eleanor Mustangs built for the film, this vehicle and just two of its sister cars were used in scenes involving the mega cast, which included Oscar-winners Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie.

There is no official pre-sale estimate for the vehicle.

Another Eleanor Mustang vehicle sold through Mecum in 2013 for a stunning $1 million, which means this vehicle should go for around the same amount.
