She's Not Just a Car. She's Eleanor — The Most Iconic Muscle Car in Movie History.
In 2000, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and Robert Duvall shared the screen in Gone in 60 Seconds — but the real star was a machine. Car #47 on Memphis Raines' list wasn't just a target. She was "the one that got away" — his Unicorn. Her name was Eleanor. (source: HotCars)

A DuPont Pepper Gray 1967 Shelby GT500, Eleanor was born from a collaboration between hot rod legends Steve Stanford and Chip Foose. Under the hood: a 351 cubic inch Ford V8 pushing close to 400 hp, with custom side pipes delivering that raw, unmistakable rumble. Eleven cars were built for filming — only three authentic examples survive today. (source: CJ Pony Parts and HotCars)

The film grossed nearly a quarter of a billion dollars at the box office, and Eleanor's legend only grew. Nicolas Cage's primary hero car sold at Mecum Auction in 2013 for a staggering $1 million. (source: Silodrome and Motor Authority)

Want your own? You can purchase a fully licensed Eleanor replica through Fusion Motor Company, or hunt for an original at one of the many popular vintage vehicle auctions across the U.S.

If you're purchasing in Seattle, Washington or Lakeland, Florida and need guidance on handling the transaction and export process — drop me a DM.
There's a smarter way to do it.

⛴️ Due to the recent increase in international fuel prices impacting shipments from Miami to Aruba & Curaçao, an additional bunker surcharge will be applied to bills of lading starting next week.

Recent events in the Middle East have significantly affected fuel costs worldwide, resulting in higher shipping expenses for cargo moving to Aruba & Curaçao.

The surcharge will be set at $0.20 per cubic foot, with adjusted rates for shipments under 30 cubic feet.
As fuel prices continue to fluctuate, this surcharge may increase, decrease, or eventually be removed over time.
