Originally 11 Eleanor’s were built, with only three making it to the end of filming in one piece. Designed to resemble a Ford Shelby GT500, this classic car is in pristine condition. Legendary hot rod builders Steve Stanford and Chip Foose are responsible for the outstanding bodywork. While it looks good on the outside, it’s what’s under the hood that really counts.

Powered by a 351 cubic-inch V8 engine built by Ford Racing capable of 400 horsepower, this is one mean machine. Eleanor also has a four-speed manual transmission, nine-inch Lincoln rear axle, a complete suspension upgrade including, performance wishbones, rack and pinion power steering and stabilizers from TCP (Total Control Products). 

While there have been a number of Eleanor replicas up for sale, this is the real deal. Plus, with only 72,000 miles on the odometer, this baby is ready for some action.

For those interested, you can contact the seller ChromeCars for a price. The only downside is you’re responsible for transporting the car from Germany. A small price to pay for a piece of automotive movie history.
