SEMA preview: Cervini's C500 Mustang

One of the most famous movie cars of all time, the car lovingly known as Eleanor played a staring role in the movie remake of Gone in 60 Seconds. And the look of the car was certainly a hit, as countless recreations have popped up everywhere, along with body kits that allow Mustang owners to recreate the look themselves. Most of these recreations are based on the iconic '67 fastback Mustangs such as the original car.

Now owners of new Mustangs will have a way to recreate the look on their own, modern rides. Cervini's has released images of its upcoming kit that will include a hood, front bumper, side skirts, scoops, rear valence, billet grilles, spoiler, fog lights, and side exhaust. Currently, only the hood and side scoops are available for purchase. Pricing has yet to be announced, but the car you see in the picture above will be making its appearance at this year's SEMA show so we expect more details at that time.

What better car to buy at an auction that thousands of people have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to recreate? Yes folks, this is the real deal. A 1967 Ford Mustang 2+2 fastback, a car affectionately known as Eleanor.



According to the studio, a total of eleven Eleanors were created for the flick, and only three of those machines made it through filming unscathed. The car you see here is one of those machines, used for close-ups with Nicholas Cage. In this case, the car's sundry list of components isn't all that important, but for those that care, there's a 351 cubic-inch Ford V8 underhood, mated to an automatic transmission. The gavel fell, fees were tallied and the car's new owner was exactly $216,700 poorer after Saturday night's bidding was finished.
