The listing specifies that this car is a tribute car, not an original Shelby Mustang GT500. The description mentions that it incorporates components used for the movie car and has been modified to achieve this. It also notes that the car started as a 6-cylinder coupe and was converted to a fastback, indicating it is not a factory-built GT500. It is difficult to assess the condition without a detailed inspection but given it's a tribute and the level of modifications, the value will be affected.

• Tribute to the Gone in Sixty Seconds Mustang, 'Eleanor' • 328ci (5.4-litre) V8 engine and manual transmission • Incorporates all the components used for the actual movie car * Please note that this car will be available for viewing by prior appointment in Belgium.

When the factory introduced a 390ci 'big-block' V8 option on the Mustang for 1967, Carroll Shelby went one better, installing Ford's 428ci (7.0-litre) Cobra Jet V8 to create the GT500, one of the great, iconic muscle cars of the 1960s.

One of the most famous of all Mustangs is that known as 'Eleanor', the Shelby GT500 that starred in the 1974 B-movie Gone in Sixty Seconds, which was remade in 2000 with Nicholas Cage starring as the car-thief central character.

Indeed, such is the continuing level of interest ...
