Classic Recreations Makes ‘Eleanor’ Mustang

As car enthusiasts we are required to know everything about every car that hits the market or at least the important ones. We are also required to know about some of the obscure and yet popular names that come out of the woodwork every few years. That is why we know the ‘Eleanor Mustang’ all too well.

Those who need a refresher course will remember that Nicolas Cage dubbed the 1967 Mustang Fastback ‘Eleanor’ in the movie ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’. Ever since then it has been a name that everyone wants and somehow no one could have that is until now. Classic Recreations in Yukon, Oklahoma are the people to see to get your hands on the new and official ‘Eleanor’ Mustang.

You will be given a choice between a 535 horsepower FI model that can reach the high speed of 172 mph and go from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.90 seconds. This model has been priced at $139,900. The other choice is for the 770 horsepower FIS model that has been given modified rear suspension and will cost you $189,900.

Both ‘Eleanor’ Mustangs can be built using an original body of a 1967 Mustang with new parts or using a brand new car using the bodies of the brand new 1967 Mustang Fastback that has been authorized and licensed by Ford. Classic Recreations promises that they can have the cars done in four months and can give you five defined paint jobs that include; Red/White, Black/Silver, Yellow/Black, Pepper Grey/Black, and Blue/White.
