The company Cinema Vehicles are the original designers and builders of the famous movie car Eleanor (from "Gone in 60 Seconds" w/Nicholas Cage & Angelina Jolie).
This 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 Eleanor was built from june 2002-march 2003 by Cinema Vehicles in North Hollywood California (1 of 15 made), car has been garaged ever since and only taken out a few times a year (only 500 miles after rebuild) finished in Eleanor Pepper Grey metallic. It is equiped with a big block 390 GT engine, 4 spd top loader, Shelby deluxe interior with rollbar and a Total Control rack and pinion steering. Car is in outstanding condition in/out and mechanically.
The original 390 big block motor was redone, valves seats, pistons rings etc., HP is ca 400. New leaf springs, rear shocks, front disc brakes, rear drum and rack in pinion.
Full documentation plus Certificate of Authenticity from Cinema Vehicles. They made 12 for the movie (11 for filming + the prototype) plus another 1 for the producer Jerry Bruckheimer who also produced Con Air, The Rock, Armageddon, Top Gun, Days of Thunder etc. After the movie was released they made 2 more: 1 for the producer of "David Copperfield Show" and 1 for Arthur Puzelli (this one - I bought the car directly from Mr. Puzelli in USA). They wrecked 5 or 6 of the 11 during filming. Rest went back to Cinema Vehicles, Hollywood. Today this GT500 Eleanor lives a real quiet (mostly garaged) life in Norway.
Cinema Vehicles took car apart and bead blasted everything, new Shelby deluxe interior and roll bar, new exhaust hooked up right to sides (awesome sound states the V8 big block engine), new front disc brake conversion, new drums in rear, and new Total Control rack and pinion steering, everything is correct from Gas cap to Mirrors, Rims and Exhaust - everything. Radio is not hooked up, didn't want to drill hole for antenna. Engine, tranny, rearend, gears and clutch are 100%, no defects, engine was brought to machine shop and redone and slightly modified, also added Edelbrock 750 carb, intake manifold and high performance msd distributor, battery is also new, the crome around windows and doors is also original but looks great. This car looks and runs awesome and by far one of the best looking Eleanor's existing !
Rims are 17" (Shelby)made by Phil Schmidt Engineering Wheels (PSE) they make rims for movie and Cinema Vehicles Services. Special registration plates, they read: GT50067 (US-plates).
