'Eleanor' Mustang featured in 'Gone in 60 Seconds'
The absurdly entertaining 2000 remake of Gone in 60 Seconds is a classic, old-fashioned heist movie you can't help but love. The gray and black "Eleanor" is a reincarnation of the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 used in the original 1974 movie of the same name. It is the perfect vehicle for pulling off a series of daring heists.
Lead actor Nicolas Cage took full advantage of the muscular, sinister-looking Mustang designed specifically for the film. The beautiful car is the stuff of legend for collectors and an adrenaline-inducing
thrill for moviegoers
.According to
Robb Report
, Fusion Motor Company started to produce made-to-order replicas of the "Eleanor" a few years ago. Back in 2017, the selling price started at $250,000. The real thing, on the other hand, turned out to be far more pricey. One of the movie's working Mustangs was sold at auction in 2013 for $1 million.Let Jerry find your price in only 45 seconds

Some starring roles in 2000's movies don't necessarily have talking parts. The MK IV Toyota Supra in 2001's The Fast and the Furious is arguably one of those. The sharp twin-turbo may have been driven by the main character, Brian O'Conner (played by the late Paul Walker), but it is the orange Supra itself that steals the show.
The Fast & Furious franchise is certainly responsible for expanding the community of automotive enthusiasts around the globe. The fact that the Supra was re-built from a
pitiful-looking wreck
in the movie made the car all the more beloved by fans. The iconic race scene against the Charger R/T that followed is an unforgettable cinematic moment.The popularity of the movie franchise and its hero car undoubtedly benefited Toyota and the Supra brand. Just recently, the Supra that starred in the first two Fast & Furious movies was sold at auction for an impressive $550,000.
