“Eleanor” was created for the hit movie Gone in 60 Seconds, which Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage starred in. The car was based on a 1967 Mustang Fastback and exterior for the original movie cars was influenced by hot rod designer Steve Stanford. The main styling features were center-mounted driving lights, unique hood, trunk and tasteful fender flares. Since the making of this popular film, many companies have found a niche in the market for making replicas.

The exterior of this car is finished in charcoal and silver paint with black stripes, large Halibrand-style wheels and side exiting exhaust in front of the rear wheels. Powering the car is a Ford Performance Built 427-cid V-8 engine decorated with polished valve covers, intake manifold and air cleaner. This performance engine is married to a five-speed manual transmission. The battery has been moved to the trunk giving the engine bay a tidy look; also found in the trunk is a fuel cell and a nitrous bottle that provides a boost whenever it is needed. The interior is completed with black pleated bucket seats in the front and sporty seats in the rear. The inside has functional rear air vents, seatbelts, pushbutton radio, woodgrain steering wheel, full instrumentation that includes a steering column-mounted tachometer, and a center console fitted with a nitrous switch and cup holders. Underneath the car is coil over suspension on all four wheels, four-wheel disc brakes with drilled rotors, plus dual exhaust.
