THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM TEXAS BEST USED MOTORCYCLES IN MANSFIELD, TEXAS.

You are looking at a 1967 Shelby GT 500 Eleanor Tribute car. No it’s not a real Shelby and Nicolas Cage has not driven this car. It was built from the inspiration of the 2000 year release of gone in 60 seconds. This dream started in 2000 with the purchase of a 1967 mustang fastback, the build was on. Here are some facts: Cinema vehicles services of Hollywood California custom built and supplied the cars for the movie. Over $250,000 was spent researching and engineering “Eleanor” alone.

Multiple identically prepared cars were used for the 40 minute chase scene of Nicolas Cage driving Eleanor, at least two were completely destroyed filming the finale jump. In the movie there were a total of 12 Eleanor’s that were all constructed for specific purposes, for example, there was one made for handling, one made for power, one for looks only etc.  Engines - 351 ford motorsports crate motor and a ford 390. Exhaust - the side exhaust was non functional, all of the Eleanor cars had turn downs. Drive train - Lincoln Versailles rear end. Transmissions - most were automatic transmissions. Wheels/Tires - Schmidt wheels 17x8, Goodyear F1 tires P245/40ZR17. Suspension - all the Elanor cars were lowered, some of the cars got suspension from total control products. Interior - Most were stock Shelby interiors w/brushed aluminum dress up and separate 5” monster tach. Exterior - The Eleanor body kit was constructed by Ray Claridg of cinema vehicle services. Piaa 959,8360,4060,1252 lights. Paint Code 44490 Grey Dupont, 44435 Black DuPont. The grill was also custom, made from a Chevy astro van designed aftermarket piece, Mach 1 gas cap, some had line locks, none of the cars had functional nitrous.

The owner of this car contacted Cinema vehicle services and started to gather all the right parts, body kit, wheels, specific F1 tires, monster tach, interior trim, he wanted to go big under the hood so he had a 428 2 4bbl, super cobra jet, roller rockers, aluminum heads, steel crank, forged pistons, built for nitrous. The nitrous tank has never been charged. The ford 9” has a positrac and tall factory gears for highway cruising. He also equipped the car with A/C and used the factory controls in the dash. The transmission is a top loader four speed and it has dual exhaust with flow masters.
