That on-screen identity is not the same as proof that the movie cars were built from genuine Shelby GT500s: the Gone Again project FAQ says they were not, with one exception later given to producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The 1974 original features a different Eleanor, a yellow Mustang.
What kind of Mustang is Eleanor in the 2000 film?
Eleanor is the gray-and-black 1967 Mustang Memphis Raines is asked to steal. The film identifies it as a Shelby GT500, and the court filing describing the remake likewise calls it a Shelby GT-500 Ford Mustang. The distinction matters: a character’s stated identity does not establish the underlying provenance of each car used in production.
The Gone Again project FAQ says the film cars were not based on actual Shelby GT500s, apart from one car that was later given to Bruckheimer. That is the project’s account; the court filing records that the vehicle’s real-world identity was disputed. The available material does not establish the provenance of every surviving car.
Is the 1974 film’s Eleanor the same car?
No. The 1974 original and the 2000 remake use different cars. The court filing describes the original Eleanor as a yellow fastback Mustang with black stripes. Ford Media’s search-result excerpt distinguishes the original film’s 1971 Mustang from the remake’s 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500, but its destination page was not available for full review. Do not conflate the original car’s model year with the remake car’s.

How was the remake’s Eleanor designed and built?
According to the Gone Again FAQ, production designer Jeff Mann hired illustrator Steve Stanford to develop design sketches, then brought in Chip Foose to create clay and wood molds for body parts. The FAQ credits Ray Claridge and the Cinema Vehicle Services team with building and maintaining the movie cars.
The same FAQ reports 13 cars in total: a prototype that was not used in the film, 11 cars used for filming, and one acquired by Bruckheimer for his collection. It says seven of the 11 filming cars survived production. These are figures reported by the project FAQ, not independently verified production records in the sources available here. Read the Gone Again FAQ.
What is a Gone Again continuation car?
Gone Again describes a separate, limited continuation project: 25 cars based on restored 1967 Mustang donor cars, built to order. Its project page names Total Control Products suspension and Wilwood brakes among the planned modern components, and says each car will come with an authenticity certificate or package. The site cautions that images may be illustrative and specifications may change, so these details describe the project’s stated plans rather than a guaranteed final specification. See the Gone Again project details.
A continuation car is not an original movie car simply because it recreates Eleanor’s look. Buyers comparing one with a claimed film vehicle or another replica should ask for the donor car’s documentation, a clear account of whether it is an original, replica, or continuation build, itemized component specifications, and the precise scope of any authenticity paperwork. The sources here do not establish comparable prices or independently verify current order availability.

What does “Eleanor” mean for licensing?
The official franchise site states that Gone in 60 Seconds and Eleanor are registered trademarks, and says the Eleanor star-car character and image are owned by Denice Shakarian Halicki’s company and licensed through it. That is the rights holder’s published position. The court filing documents past disputes but does not resolve the status of any particular replica, product, or use. A car’s appearance or seller’s description alone is not proof that it is licensed. Read the official franchise rights statement.
