While it may not be an actual original Eleanor. It was custom moulded from an original 1967 Fastback. Built specifically for the 2000 version of the movie, Gone in 60 Seconds, she also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
This Mustang is one of eleven built specifically for the movie, and is one of three that had running gear. Of the eleven built 3 were wrecked in the making of the movie.
Perhaps in this scene, “It’s just a scratch Eleanor. It can be fixed.”
This slightly used Mustang is for sale, with 24 bids already! Get your bid in?
Ford Flex press drives are underway, with 180 media personalities logging time behind the wheel last week in New York. Here are some of the comments from some of our toughest critics…
John McElroy, Autoline Detroit – “There’s a very solid feel to the car and man, it is quiet. Given that this is an AWD, the ride is very impressive. Good steering with excellent response.
Ken Pantone, ecityofstyle – “You have a winner on your hands. All over this city, people are looking at Flex…doormen, fashionistas, you name it. It’s great to see Ford get its due.”
John Davis, Motor Week – “There aren’t many vehicles that truly stand out as something new and different, but Flex does. I think it will strengthen your brand; you’ve never had a vehicle like it.”
Mark Phelan, Detroit Free Press – “I love the proportion. I had thought it would be bulky and ponderous, but I am really impressed with the way you have handled the size. Most of us thought the show car would never translate, but it has. This is one of only four or five of the most important cars this year, and I have been looking forward to driving – and it has not let me down.”
Jim Henry, AutoWeek – “I’m very impressed by Flex for highway cruising. It has a very comfortable ride and a roomy interior. Overall a very quiet vehicle as well, which is impressive.”
Jean Jennings, Automobile Magazine – “I love the car. This is the best car Ford has ever made.”
Ford is helping thousands of customers save time and keep their hands clean at the fuel pump.
The Easy Fuel™ capless fuel-filler system is a Ford-exclusive feature that uses an integrated spring-loaded flapper door to eliminate the need for a fuel tank screw cap. That means no more fumbling to remove and tighten the cap and less fuel odor on customers’ hands or gloves when they’re at the pump. (more…)
The Empire Days parade this year was a tonne of fun!! Shawn (Zigster the Trickster) did a great job organizing all of us drivers, kids, and Cruiser Crew into professional parade participants!!
Shawn was juggling and making balloon animals while running beside the Ford F350 Cruiser, the Cruiser Team was handing out Candy and Goodies, Mitch was following behind in a nice black Mustang.
We also had more mustangs throughout the parade, several transporting our City Council, one with the Ambassador Program, and one was with the Shriners (I believe they may have the title of Parade Pros).
Even after a day of heat and sun, we all seem to have successfully averted any sort of sun burn-while having a tonne of fun!
