Hot Original ‘Eleanor’ Mustang Gets Crickets at Auction



Good thing I'm not a gambler because I would have lost my shirt with my predictions for the Eleanor Mustang being auctioned at Mecum.

I thought the car would go for well over the $1 million mark that it got the last time it exchanged hands as we reported here. Instead, old “Eleanor,” which is the last remaining Mustang that was actually driven in Gone in 60 Seconds, didn’t even garner a sell at the Austin, TX event, according to a Motor Authority report.

Has the love affair run its course for the year-2,000 box office hit and its star car?

Read the rest on The Mustang Source homepage. >>

ONCE AGAIN, THERE IS NO 'REST'!

Learn to teaser, 'troit!

As to Eleanor, it shouldn't have gotten a million in the first place, IMO. Just because it was in a movie doesn't make it worth that. It's a Mustang with a kit on it.

...a kit I haven't ever really liked, honestly, on that model.

But that'd be me, I'm sure.

yea no kidding. 99.999999999999% of the members here post the whole story in one post. They don't post half the question or story and then have a link to the rest of the story. Now I won't say I don't enjoy the articles but just feel its somewhat senseless at least to me they way you post them up. Why not post the whole story in one post? Why do you post your stories this way?

But as they say, it's worth what someone will pay for it. I personally hope every 67/68 FB sells for big money - it just increases the value of mine
