What is an Eleanor Mustang?

Hollywood have been producing iconic movie cars for decades by radically modifying what we drive on the daily.  Well in the late 1990's the concept for what would be the most copied and reproduced movie "character" ever created.

 

There are many pieces that go into making your mustang fastback into an Eleanor.  Most of the parts and fabrication are minor but there are a few modifications that will change your fastback forever.  After you have done all this work, you may have to legally give your car up!  Yes, due to possible trademark infringement you may not own your mustang after you have transformed it.

 

What is an Eleanor Mustang? An Eleanor Mustang is a modified 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 in the movie "Gone in Sixty Seconds" as the primary target in a plot to steal 50 cars.  The creators used a 1967 Mustang Fastback as the foundation to customize the body, and interior touches to achieve the iconic Eleanor movie car.

 

The Specs for the Mustang Eleanor

The creation of Eleanor is a combination of a popular classic mustang, with the use of original performance parts from the era, and the talent of two designers.

Who designed the Eleanor Mustang?  The Eleanor concept of a modified 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500 was first illustrated by Steve Stanford.  Famous car builder Chip Foose elaborated on the original drawings to create clay models that would be used in the production of 11 original Eleanor Mustangs, built by Cinema Vehicle Services.

Who owns the Mustang Eleanor Trademark?

Denice Halicki is the sole owner of the copyright and trademark, that protects her rights to the design and name use of the Mustang Eleanor under the company Eleanor Licensing LLC.  Denice became the owner when her late husband, H.B. "Toby" Halicki, died in 1989.

 

H.B. Halicki was Hollywood director, actor, and stunt man in the 1970's who directed the original Gone in 60 Seconds movie from 1974.  While filming Gone in 60 Seconds 2 movie in 1984, H.B. Halicki was fatally injured in the car stunt gone wrong.  Due to that accident the sequel was left unfinished.

How much is an Eleanor Mustang?

A true original Mustang Eleanor was last sold in 2013 for $1 million dollars.  It is estimated that if 1 of the 3 fully operational Hero Eleanor's were to be offered today it would sell closer to $2 million dollars.  A licensed Eleanor replica can be purchased for $180,000 to $300,000.

Can building an Eleanor Mustang legal issues?

Yes, thankfully you have every right to modify your mustang fastback with the same parts as seen in the movie.  However, you cannot buy the Eleanor parts, build a clone, badge the mustang as an Eleanor with the intent to profit from your work.
