New 1967 Ford Mustang Eleanor 25th Anniversary Model To Debut This Month

Following a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals determining that replicas of the Ford Mustang Eleanor from the Gone in 60 Seconds movies aren’t eligible for copyright protection, Classic Muscle Recreations LLC proceeded to announce that it would be rolling out its new 1967 Ford Mustang Eleanor 25^th Anniversary Tribute model very soon just this past July. Now, a few months later, the very first example of that new model – number one of just 25 planned for production – is set to make its official debut later this month.

“Eleanor: Gone Again” Car #1 will appear at the 2025 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas at the end of October, giving fans the chance to see it in the flesh – and talk to the folks who created it. The new Ford Mustang Eleanor is said to be the “ultimate” version of that particular model, and comes as the film celebrates 25 years. As such, these anniversary models will be faithful in terms of appearances to the originals, though they will feature some updates in terms of amenities and mechanicals.

In terms of powerplants, those choices consist of the 5.0L V8 Coyote, a supercharged Aluminator V8, or a Roush 427 V8, mated to a five- or six speed Tremec gearbox, or the 10-speed Ford automatic. Standard brakes consist of Wilwood units with four-piston calipers, while one can also upgrade to six-piston units, and either a single- or double-adjustable four-link suspension can be had, too.

From there, one can choose from all kinds of wheel options and interior seating materials, as well as a roll bar or premium audio system. The anniversary Ford Mustang Eleanor starts out at a cool $500k without any of these upgrades, however.

“These new Eleanors are being built to the highest levels of performance and quality, and each one is built to-order,” said Randy Wolff, CEO of Cinema Muscle Recreations. “Eleanor is such a special ‘moment’ in the automotive and film worlds, and these are the most authentic examples, built by the original team. We are so thrilled to share our incredible first car with the Concours attendees in Las Vegas this year, and look forward to seeing everyone there.”
