The Eleanor Mustang from the 2000 film Gone in 60 Seconds is one of the most recognizable movie cars ever, and this is an officially licensed tribute built by Brand New Muscle Car. Freshly completed with a 427ci stroker and a Tremec five-speed, it shows 105 miles since the build. It is on Bring a Trailer at $150,000 with three days to go.

What it’s worth right now
Officially licensed Eleanor tributes occupy their own corner of the market, well above unlicensed clones. According to Classic.com and current listings, licensed Eleanor tribute builds generally trade from around $150,000 into the low $300,000s depending on the depth and quality of the build and its components, with the very best licensed examples reaching higher.
This car’s official licensing, fresh high-end build, and strong drivetrain support a solid position in that range, while the notes below keep it from the very top. At $150,000 with three days remaining, the bidding should climb toward and past $175,000.
Condition and details
This is a high-quality, freshly completed build. A reproduction body was outfitted with Eleanor-style elements and painted Pepper Grey with black stripes, and power comes from a small-block-based 427ci stroker V8 with an eight-stack electronic fuel injection system, rated at 550 horsepower, backed by a Tremec TKO600 five-speed and a 9-inch limited-slip rear. The chassis features independent front suspension, a four-link rear, adjustable coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and Wilwood disc brakes, and the cabin includes the signature Go Baby Go shifter, air conditioning, and a modern touchscreen. A build sheet and certificate of authenticity are included.
A few points to weigh. This is a tribute built on a reproduction body and titled using a donor 1967 coupe VIN, not a genuine Shelby, so value it as a licensed tribute; the official licensing and certificate add real value versus unlicensed clones. Even the documented build cost, listed at $311,260 and said by the seller to total $345,612 all-in, will not be fully recouped, which is normal for a bespoke build.
Commenters noted the trunk lid and hood could use minor alignment adjustment, which an experienced Eleanor builder called simple fixes. As a fresh build with 105 miles, it will need normal break-in and sorting.

What makes the Eleanor Tribute unique
Eleanor is the star of Gone in 60 Seconds, the silver-grey 1967 Mustang fastback that Nicolas Cage’s character chases throughout the 2000 film, and it has become one of the most iconic movie cars of all time. The look, custom bodywork, over-the-top stripes, side-exit exhaust, and the famous Go Baby Go shifter, is instantly recognizable to enthusiasts and film fans alike. The Eleanor name is licensed and vigorously protected, so an officially licensed tribute with a certificate of authenticity carries genuine standing that unlicensed clones simply cannot match.

This build pairs that licensed, movie-correct presentation with a serious modern drivetrain and chassis, a 427 stroker with eight-stack injection, a Tremec five-speed, a 9-inch rear, coilovers, and Wilwood brakes. The result looks the part and drives far better than any 1967 Mustang ever did from the factory, delivering the Eleanor experience in turnkey, essentially new form.
My take
This is about as good as an Eleanor tribute gets. The official licensing and certificate of authenticity set it apart from the sea of unlicensed clones, the build quality is high, and the drivetrain, a 427 stroker with eight-stack injection and a Tremec five-speed, backs up the looks with genuine performance. Freshly completed and turnkey, it lets a buyer skip the multi-year wait to have one built.
Fair value sits in the $150,000 to $225,000 range, most likely around $170,000 to $200,000, reflecting the licensed, high-end build against its tribute status and the reality that build cost never fully returns. Before bidding, confirm the licensing and registry paperwork, address the minor alignment items, and plan for normal fresh-build sorting. Handle that, and you own one of the most iconic movie-car tributes there is.
