She's the perfect woman, the apparition that only exists on the silver screen and in your dreams. Sleek, sexy and scary as hell. Now not only can you can bring her home, you can customize all the details. Meet Classic Recreations' newest Eleanor.
Since 2007, Denise Halicki widow of original 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds creator/director/star Toby Halicki and co-producer of the 2000 film has been working with Jason Engel of Classic Recreations in Yukon, Oklahoma, building brand-new, officially licensed Eleanor Mustangs that blend the movie cars iconic style with turn-key reliability and modern supercar performance.
CR now offers a variety of built-to-order brand new Eleanor Mustangs, each tailored the customers exacting specifications. Every Eleanor starts with a brand new body, features all-new components and is not delivered until testing proves the car is totally tuned, refined and finished in every sense of the word. Unlike previous wannabe Eleanor builders that conducted business in a less than straightforward manner, every CR order requires a deposit in a secure escrow account, and funds are totally untouchable until the car is completed to owners satisfaction.
Looking beyond the line of famous fastbacks being hand assembled in his 10,000 square foot facility, Engel has several other muscle car projects under construction. Classic Recreations handles everything from paint and body to upholstery, custom fabrication and complete rotisserie restorations under one roof. From cosmetic restorations to brand new builds and custom show cars, Engel is passionate about American iron and speaks with classic understated Midwestern confidence about the vehicles he creates.
