The 1967 Mustang GT500 stole the show in "Gone in Sixty Seconds," the 2000 action hit starring Nicolas Cage. The car dubbed Eleanor has returned to The Auto Collections at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and will be on display until somebody pony's up the cash to buy her.



The popular pony car is actually one of 11 built for the movie. Of those, two were destroyed in the climactic bridge jump and junkyard crusher scenes. Because certain cars were needed to do different maneuvers in the film, no two Eleanors were alike.



All the Eleanors only acted the role of being Shelbys while really they were modified Mustang fastbacks. In the movie the car is supposed to be a four-on-the-floor, but most of the Eleanors were automatics because it's easier to act and do stunts when you don't have to manually shift gears.



The Mustang muscle magnet will remain on display between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until it's sold. Eleanor was previously on display in June 2003 and remains one of the all-time most crowd-pleasing attractions in The Auto Collections.



The Auto Collections is the world's largest classic car lot with $100 million worth of inventory on display and for sale. It includes antique, muscle, famous, infamous and historically significant vehicles. Open daily, 9:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $6.95 for adults, $3 for seniors and children 5-12 and children under 5 are free.



The Imperial Palace is home to the award-winning tribute show "Legends In Concert" and the Dealertainers(TM), celebrity impersonators who deal blackjack. Imperial Palace is the most central stop on the Las Vegas Monorail. In addition, the resort is famous for "Five-Star-Friendly Service" and includes a race and sports book, 2,640 rooms and suites, world-class gaming and amenities, a seasonal poolside luau, 40,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, 10 specialty restaurants, 10 bars and lounges, state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, business center, concierge service, medical center, chapel and reception facilities.

    What a nice car! But don't you know guys that Car buyers are one of the consumer groups that have been adversely affected by the recession, as there is a surplus of cars but a shortage of available credit. Part of car financing is the down payment often done with a trade in, just as with other big ticket items such as houses or boats, but that being said, car sales are beginning to trend upward again. Trade in vehicles with the Cash for Clunkers program was popular when the list of acceptable trades wasn't up in the air, but some people are coming up with cash down payments for new cars. Some car buyers had savings they were utilizing, and others were coming with down payments from installment loans.

    Denice Halicki has killed the Eleanor Mustang. Denice Halickiclaimed a copy of a Shelbys design from Chip Foose and then sued Shelby and claimed it as her own and now she is actually signing Eleanor Mustang cars.
    Denice hides behind God to sue innocent people and claim she is a victim. SCAM SCAM SCAM. She is one of the biggest cons and crooks in the market today. A signed Eleanor from her is worthless today and the laughing stock of the Mustang industry.
    Thanks a lot! Denice, for taking something so precious away from true Mustang lovers. You single handedly killed the Eleanor. Denice Halicki, you are an embarrassment for women who truly want to start a honest business
