The famous Eleanor Mustang sold successfully at an auction for an astounding price of 1 million US dollars.

The 1967 Ford Mustang named 'Eleanor' is popularized in the hit movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" as driven by the starring actor, Nicholas Cage during the last few parts of the film. The movie's Eleanor Mustang, which sold profitably, was auctioned during the Dana Mecum 26^th Original Spring Classic Auction held in Indianapolis last week.

Specific details were not released yet about the winner, but the winning auction price for the car did not come as a surprise, given the history and rarity of this "Eleonor" Mustang.

There were actually 11 fictional Eleanor Mustang cars created for the film, but only 3 of them are fully functioning vehicles. From 11 of these Ford Mustang cars, two of them were destroyed as needed during the filming. The Eleanor Mustang sold was Nicholas Cage's ultimate beauty car. It was frequently used when shooting close-up scenes and promotional efforts for the film.

The Eleanor Mustangs were not the original Shelby models, but they were based on a Mustang fastback, 1967 model. Furthermore, the Eleanor Mustangs used for the film are formed and created by Cinema Vehicle Services through the participation of Chip Foose, who was known to be a legendary builder of coaches.

The Eleanor Mustang features some very key elements such as its pumped flender flares, the driving lights which are mounted centrally and a unique design for the hood and the trunk. The power of the Eleanor Mustang were generated from a 351 Ford V-* engine, which rates at about 400 hp. The car feature a 4-speed manual transmission, faux nitrous kits and F1 tires from Goodyear.

When the Eleanor Mustang got sold in the auction, it already included the sale of the certification about the vehicle's authenticity.
