How to Build the 'Eleanor' Mustang from Gone in 60 Seconds | 4K

[@DarrenJMHughes]

The question is if you had the choice Bullitt mustang or Eleanor Mustang (original Mach 1 or remake GT500) For me it would have the be Bullitt, as it was more or less a standard car not modified with a bodykit and Steve is (was) the epitome of cool 😎. Cool video Pete and I think it would have been nicer if Damon could have also showed us various things and spoke about the build. But I think we understand him not wanting to.

Hi Peter about 17 yrs ago . I was doing a job at overfinch in Bateley West Yorkshire. Thierry Henry had on of the original mustangs used in the film .. their were 5 built for use in the film I believe. The dash board was signed by Nicholas Cage and a Director. 😊

[@kevinDG7]

Very cool car but to be fair, you can't beat the 68 fastback in green from bullitt.

[@dangreasley7934]

I love these up close engineering videos, brilliant. Yet another old school engineer who doesn't for second best. Thanks.

[@f1kwa399]

My memory is a bit sketchy but a guy on KZbin (B is for build) was building one of these and called it an Eleanor, someone owns the rights to use the name and they took the car away from him. At the time I thought it was a stunt but it appears not.

[@allomony4010]

This has been sorted out legally and the court found that the family laying claim to copyright could not do so. They had sued several parties over many years, but ultimately lost their claim about a year ago.

[@f1kwa399]

@@allomony4010 thanks for telling us, it seemed unjust at the time, thank you👍

[@RS-gh2mf]

They didn't take it, he gave it to them.

[@alasdairwilson4806]

Very interesting vid.That Mustang looks magnificent.

[@coltoncleveringa8004]

Sir Pete this was a epic video!! So cool. Gone in 60 seconds is one of my favorite movies!! Thanks for sharing this with us!! Your content just keeps getting better

[@ginggur17]

Damon, fair play to your craftsmanship 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛🇬🇧

[@mohit1215]

Im gonna use this video to build my eleanor

[@jimcabezola3051]

I am stunned that these cars would have any followers at all across the Atlantic. The workmanship looks gorgeous. I'll have mine without an engine, please, and just send it off to our friend, Moggy, in Wales to finish kitting it out, would you? LOL! Cheers!

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped PURFECTION indeed.😮 I cannot see an EV that is going to stir the emotion like this. Would be a great follow up video with a road test.🤞

[@ollyhopwood]

Cool to see! I Miss Eleanor! 😢

[@grahamsinclair4159]

Iv loved Eleanor for 20 years and I would love to have her one day

[@kevinphillips9408]

Really enjoyed this. Love the Mustang

[@footey7670]

It’s a movie classic and super 😎!!! Thx for the vid Pete 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@johnbrown3951]

Another interesting film and again slightly different and I'm not getting on at you but would it be possible to do a follow up video of that engine singing into life and a road test because I bet it sounds good.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep. That’s the plan 👍

[@brycebrown1]

Great to see these! I'm going to watch Bullitt now! I'm kind of ashamed I haven't seen it yet.

[@shirleyboy8859]

Back when the World was in Black and White, I had a Orange Mustang Custom Matchbox Car called "Wild Cat" I fell in love with it and have been a Mustang fan ever since..... So when my numbers come up next week expect a phone call..... :-))

[@barryaitchison5565]

wow what a car pretty awesome vid

[@guylambrechts2303]

Hope you can go back when it's ready!

[@frasermacleod7642]

Excellent video Peter. Really enjoyed this, something very different, interesting and informative. What a setup, great to see the perfection and work that’s being done. Really hope you can get back and get a drive in one of these magnificent cars 😉👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@brumsgrub8633]

What a car

[@stevenbennett3922]

I'm sure the model would be fascinating to build but price/kilo, the full size Eleanor from South Coast is the cheaper option.

[@MrGMawson2438]

Great video mate

[@stevehall2137]

Not sure if I've read this wrong, but by my calculations the model car totals nearly £1600. It's a gorgeous car, but not sure a model is worth this much

[@PetrolPed]

Completed models sell for £2-3k 👍

[@ginggur17]

Hello Sir, one of my faves this car. ❤❤👍🇬🇧

[@MrGMawson2438]

Loads of work in that place

[@shaneosborn8501]

I hardly ever comment on KZbin, but maaaaan!!! So many details i could have too bad im in in NZ...this guys work plus shipping would be so expensive....think you would be better off finding a 67 Mustang locally and do the body work myself...and just pay a compay to create the fibreglass trims and interior

[@chuy2671]

How much would one of these vehicle be ?

[@PetrolPed]

Depends how you spec it and how much resto it needs. Maybe £80-150k 👍

[@kuukeli]

thank you for the video

[@smurph1962]

Evening All 😊

[@HQBProductions]

An interesting and different film Peter. It is a shame that the builder did not put in at least a brief appearance though…maybe next time. Dare I say that I have never heard of “Eleanor” but have pondered a Bullet Mustang as I rather like them for their simplicity and because they very slightly bring me back to my Ford Capri in 1973…so I would have to buy L900 KHU to go on it!! Stay safe…Richard😀😀😀😀

[@CaptainMir]

I want one

[@mark_just_mark]

What an amazing place…if only I had a few quid spare 😜

[@garrymatthews4430]

Wow did not see that one coming, Greg one though

[@scottharvey9764]

Get it to Moggy to be Moggy-fied

[@benhigginson9763]

Please let us hear that when it fires up.

[@grahambeech4636]

Just don't call it an Eleanor or they will be sued. I think it was B for Build who got done by the owner of the name & likeness of the Eleanor.

[@RS-gh2mf]

Looks like a Mustang To Fear bodykit, before their molds all burned up in a fire. Now their kit is junk.

[@paulboyle6857]

The Bullitt car chase was ok if one overlooks the rather "iffy" continuity issues.There is a certain VW Beetle featured which appears in more or less the same position about 8 times! Did you know that the director Peter Yates had been suggested for Bullitt by Steve McQueen after seeing the car chase in "Robbery" directed by Yates in 1967 featuring Mk11 & S Type Jags.Check it out. I think that "Gone in 60 Seconds" features the unlikely pairing of Angelina Jolie & Vinnie Jones!(a good quiz question)In terms of almost continuous car action I have to go with "Vanishing Point" with Barry Newman every bit as "cool" as McQueen.

[@keithnoneya]

Must not be in the United States, if you were the owner of the rights to the name probably would have sued you by now. It happened to Fixitnick on KZbin and a few others in the states as well. Keep up the great content. Keith Noneya

[@RS-gh2mf]

Hi lick me lost in court, the scam is over.

[@MrGMawson2438]

👍

[@ducky63]

And by that I mean the body kit for the real car, not the 1/8 model kit.

[@rumelahmed4539]

Haha, bet the Hillickys are pissed off.

[@ducky63]

It’s a pity these body kit manufacturers changed the design of the leading edge of the hood to a straight line.

[@guyl9208]

Watch out for the creeps that supposedly own the Eleanor name, they'll come for ya.

[@RS-gh2mf]

Not anymore

[@colin-hanlon]

And how many £’s will you have to spend to complete the model???? No doubt a shocking amount.

[@PetrolPed]

When complete they actually sell for a thousand quid 👍

[@RATRH13]

You do know that is the first Eleanor the first one was In the 70s movie gone in 60s haha it is funny how everyone has made this the one

[@MrGMawson2438]

hello mate

[@kevoreilly6557]

Last I heard, you can’t- at least not call them Elenor’s as it’s trade marked by the movie studio

[@BullyBoxer]

15min video without hearing the sound of it was a bit naff ped, if I'm honest .

[@kristianspencer1978]

A 1967 Shelby gt500.

[@stevie007]

Hi Ped

[@Kayos-in7ju]

you should never mention Eleanor as its trademarked and the owner of the trademark has taken cars away from car builders that say they are eleanor replica's

[@peanutbutterisfu]

Carrol Shelby’s estate took her to court and she lost! She has no legal rights over it anymore. That’s what I have read and videos I’ve watched.

[@adrianward7888]

How do you stand legally as Marvel own the rights who confiscated B is for build's

[@theloneranger2101]

I would rather have the Mustang from the first John Wick film, for me it looks far more cooler than Eleanor. Unfortunately the John Wick Mustang had a very sorry end in the film, also I never liked the CGI jump with Eleanor at the end of the film, the effect looked rubbish, much just prefer real car jumps, like they did in the Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider TV series and the Burt Reynolds film "Hooper" with a Rocket powered Pontiac Trans Am, jumping a Ravine, great comedy action film. PP, who makes, and where do the New Mustang body panels come from, just out of interest?

[@nicholasbabcock8418]

That’s not Eleanor, the stripes aren’t even correct.

[@izno73]

Seriously, why are all KZbinrs so obsessed with this ugly abomination called "Eleanor"? A GT500 tribute car would be so much prettier... Happy 2024 ;)

[@warrenlewis3977]

Too much unessesary babbling.

[@fotorabia]

The 2nd film is so bollox. You could nt get anything so far removed from the original story...the original is a classic. The 2nd is a coperate mess..with the legal cases used by the film company making the whole concept utterly ludricros. We had a BOSS 302 in our family in the 1970s. A real car..not a Hollywood make up disaster of plastic and surgery.

[@fotorabia]

Sorry for gripe..i do appreciate the engineering aspect....
