Eleanor Mustang Hero Car to Cross the Block in Chicago

Earlier this year, one of the Eleanor Mustangs featured in the “Gone in 60 Seconds” movie was auctioned off for a cool $1 million. Now, another one of the only three hero cars will cross the block at Mecum’s auction event in Chicago later this week.

Built by Cinema Vehicle Services specifically for the “Gone in 60 Seconds” movie, this Eleanor comes with VIN #7R02C173895 and the distinctive two-tone silver and charcoal paint and the go-baby-go shifter. Other upgrades include fiberglass body elements, lowered suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, Schmidt Cobra-style rims and GoodYear Eagle F1 tires.

Will this restomod Mustang sell for more than $1 million? Guess we’ll just have to wait for a few more days to find out. Stay tuned for more info on this gorgeous musclecar.
