moss green Eleanor

[old5.0]

Eleanor was a yellow 71 Mustang used in the original Gone in 60 Seconds released in 1974. The 2000 remake changed this to a 67 fastback that vaguely resembled a Shelby. My guess is that there was never any particular significance attached to the name, but since Halicki is dead, we can't ask. It had nothing to do with FoMoCo or Shelby, neither of which had any sort of known relationship with Halicki's self-funded movie.

Love the names on the Hot list, that was a GREAT movie (car wise) . The car chases were real and the stunt work was incredible.....wish a lot more of todays movies were like it.
