Eleanor

In the 2000 release Eleanor was a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500

in the 1974 release she was a 1974 Mach 1

in the original release, it was a 1971 Fastback that was supposed to be a 1973 Mach 1. The 1974 was the redesign for the "smaller" mustang. It did not even have a V-8 engine, but a wimpy V-6 that made 101 Horsepower. " Eleanor" Is a 1971 Fastback Ford Mustang played the role of a 1973 Mach 1 Ford Mustang, a true lady both beautiful and tough and is the "Star" of Gone in 60 Seconds. Eleanor is the only Ford Mustang in history to receive Star title credit in a movie�making "Eleanor" a household name.

CarGurus' 1974 Ford Mustang Review The 1974 Ford Mustang was completely - and I mean completely - revamped from the 1973 car. This car was so new that it was even given a new name: the Mustang II. Not only were the name and look new, but the theory behind the car was completely different. No longer was the Mustang a "muscle car." It still was considered by some to be a sports car, but the engine made more of a whisper than a roar.

The base engine was a 2.3-liter inline 4 cylinder, capable of achieving 88 horsepower. The high-end model remained the Mach I, which had a 101-hp 2.8-liter V6 (the same engine as the Mercury Capri of that year).

It was a 1967 Mustang fastback customized by Chip Foose.

Unlike some of the other places claiming it was a Shelby GT500, in fact, it was not. It was a fastback like mentioned here, but dressed up to look like what the movie studio thought the Gt500 should have looked like. The original GT500 didn't have side pipes, and had an actual functioning hood scoop, rather than the ugly non functional bulge in the hood of the one made for the movie. Here's a real one; http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1081380_ultra-low-mileage-1967-shelby-gt500-hits-the-block#100414130
