1967 Shelby GT500 “Eleanor” (Gone In 60 Seconds)
The Shelby GT500 was one of the most iconic versions of the Mustang, and there were a lot of them. But what exactly made this one stand out from the crowd? It’s because it was specifically featured in the hit movie, Gone in 60 Seconds. The look and feel of the car were the first two things that made it stand out from the crowd. The performance of the GT500 was also awe-inspiring, to say the least, taking average performance numbers to the next level (via Fusion Motor Co).
If the GT500 doesn’t look like any other Mustang on the road, that’s only because it isn’t. The sheer power and substance of this Mustang redefined what people were looking for in the iconic pony car. The GT500 resonated with performance enthusiasts and excited drivers alike because it was beautiful and full of the horsepower that you want and need in a car.
