1967 SHELBY

Few years back I had seen a movie 'Gone in 60 Seconds' starring Nicolas Cage's. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen till now. The last car that Nicolas Cage has to steal was 1967 FORD SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 ELEANOR (1967 SHELBY). This car was a modified version of 1967 FORD SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 which actually featured a 1967 Mercury Cougar tail light panel minus the chrome trim, a flip-up spoiler, and two sets of air scoops on each side.

Later over $250,000 was spent in researching and engineering Eleanor. They added a body kit, functional side pipes, mag rims, sport tires and a hood scoop to ensure the Shelby would not be upstaged by the Porsches and Ferraris that also appeared in the movie. It has got a Ford 428 engine that pumps out 650 horsepower and close to 1,000 horsepower with nitrous. You can see the video
