I visited this workshop last year. These guys were the nicest, most generous people you'll ever meet in the industry. They spent hours with myself and a friend, allowed us to drive one of the Elanors and took us through the entire factory. One of the highlights of my life. The attention to detail is astonishing. If only our GST and Luxury car taxes weren't so crooked in Australia, I would have placed an order on the spot. Just next level in their knowledge and craftsmanship
I recognize that street from miles away. That's Nordhoff Street just east of De Soto at the border between Canoga Park and Chatsworth. Thank you for posting this video of that amazing car.
These guys are d-bags probably don't have much business being a one-trick pony and there are only so many non-creative trend-following d-bags that can afford these things thank God
That matt black Elanor with the power windows and supercharged coyote motor is the best one I've ever seen. Awesome innovation by Fusion and the owner 😊
Loved those analog /electric window cranks. Super sweet details. Fusion does ABSOLUTE flawless work. I really like how customer oriented they are. Fusion hasn't lost sight of the ONLY reason they exist.... CUSTOMERS!
He made that movie by himself from scratch, his own friends/anyone willing to help, all his own stunts, even the jump when he broke his back....legend.
He made the movie because ford announced the end of the big Mustang. He wanted a tribute to a car he loved. His other movie "The Junkman" was as equally as good.
Yes none of the Angelina Jolie crap! Even the one in the newer movie was only a 351W that was used as the stunt car. Yes Toni Halicki was a great stunt guy shame he is gone he died with what he loved.
the beauty and mystique of eleanor is beyond any other car. it is something primal that no other car, except perhaps the 1968 mustang gt-390 fastback bullitt in british racing green, can even come close.
A few of you have mentioned the original Eleanor from the original movie "Gone In 60 Seconds ". Hilicki used two 71 Mustangs for the movie. One was disassembled and a complete cage welded around it and was reassembled. This is the stunt vehicle used to do the hard work and the jump at the end. It is in a museum somewhere in California. The second Eleanor was sent out to have the seats reupholstered for the close up beauty shots for the movie. During an interview when asked what ever happened to the other Eleanor Hilicki said " it was crushed ". That's not true. The car was in a private collection of the cars he loved and wanted for himself. When he died while filming another movie his private collection was sold off. The second Eleanor ended up on a used car lot in Sacramento. A guy bought it and drove it to his new duty station in Jacksonville Arkansas. He didn't finish the payment plan he agreed to and was in fear of being jailed for over 30 years so it was never sold or licensed. With the city threatening large fines for the eye sore he sold the car for scrap price. To me. I happened to see the car on the wrecker and asked the driver what was going to happen to the car. He said crusher was the destination for the car. I had him contact the owner who I offered a few bucks for it. That was 2012. I still own it and it's a cherished member of the family. 42,000 miles. Original brakes and all of the fluids and 8 track tape player, etc.
I'd love to know who's buying these beautiful cars. These are beautiful works of art and by far the best looking Eleanors being built. The attention to detail is impeccable right down to the seamless body transitions. Nothing is overlooked or compromised. Outstanding!
This is legendary stuff the car some of us dream to own and you have nailed this. Gil seems like a laid back cool kinda guy too but what a monster of a car now I be watching gone in 60 seconds this is mad
I wish I wore my bib to catch my drool before I started watching this video on Elanor. What an amazing tour of the official manufacturer of the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 Elanor! Just been added to my bucket list!

hemichump so uneducated you don’t understand he is doing it for us the viewers like we don’t know what it is and he is asking questions to educate. I got it but half ya Americans didn’t lol
Their all Beautiful.... Even the rusted out ones in the beginning. I would love to even own what they call donor car's in the beginning. It would be my project car for years too come, but I don't think I could ever get to the quality that these guys build these Beautiful Eleanors....Too...
You should return B is for Build project car. That's all it was, a project car where a guy out there so admired the car that you built. His car will never be looked at as an original Eleanor, because it isn't. As for his fans, what you have done here to B is for B has really tarnished your reputation in their eyes. So do the right thing and return his car.
Such stuff as dreams are made of. I may just place an order for one of these truly beautiful cars. That’s if I win the lottery, big time, in the near future.
Exclusivity just died for the Eleanor character car. The Shelby car company sued and won the lawsuit stating that the car that the Eleanor character was based on in the original movie is their property and not that of the author. no more Eleanor lawsuits.
Thank God for that. The exclusivity never made sense anyway. It was absurd that it stood for so long. Like if you couldn't build a yellow and black '76 Camaro because it would ve Bumblebee....
Nice looking and nice sounding sports car. If only I had the resources to purchase one of these fine automobiles. The rims and tires fit very well on these cars.
Absolutely beautiful video guys! In the market for an Eleanor or 67 or 68 GT500! This is the best video I have seen this far! Nice work and craftsmanship!
Definitely. Not to mention drive-tested up to 300 miles or more to iron out any irregularities, plus they give you plenty of options to customize the car to your preferences, including four engine options that go from 430 HP on.
@@SupercarAdvocates For 400 grand probably build something else and I am a mustang guy. Their a clone of a clone that has clones.. still a very sexy car
I build these for $175K and put much more technology into my cars, all modern suspension, engines, transmissions, fully documented, custom interiors with 6 way power seats and consoles, fixed or fold down rear seats, custom stereos, one piece windows stuff these guys just dont understand makes these cars more fun and safe to drive, and I have references as well.

Oh man, out of all the cars out there, if I could have my choice, this would be the one. Still trying to pull myself together after seeing this. Thx for posting this one up.👍👍👍
I noticed on the blacked out Elenor carbon fibre header panel had a ding in the front. 😱 Better fix that before delivery. I love these cars and I bet Steve McQueen would cream his jeans if he was here today and drove one.
Plenty of crashed Mustangs to work on.....recycling.....rebuild ...crash...rebuild...crash...rebuild...crash......hehe...lovely engineering! Nice to see it sound proofed properly and air conditioned so it is a practical every day car.
Great story and video. Have heard that cars being imported from the USA have to now be original with no modifications from standard for them to be allowed in. Once in Australia you can modify from Original. Not sure how you would get around this. If you can there would be a market here.
Wow. This was an awesome video!!!! These guys make some incredible cars. Thank you for taking the time to make such a great detailed video of these Eleanors!!! My dad and I are working on a 1968 right now. They are such awesome-looking cars.
Lots of attention to detail in these cars, why do they mould the flares on the guards surely the rear will crack under hard acceleration. Nice HD video quality.
if you knew behind the scenes about the history of the eleanor build license since the 2000 movie and knew this car fame has single handily inflated the price of collectible classic mustangs. its been all about the money with the person who has control over the licensing to build these movie cars. there was a law suit back in march 2018 and she won the law suit yet again, she even went up against carroll shelby as well and won against him in court several years ago, she is very shrewd, but so was carrol shelby, he got a taste of his own medicine.the "she" im referring to would be denice halicki wife of deceased original producer of gone in 60 seconds fame from 1974, she did help create and produce the 2nd movie in 2000 and been making serious money from all this. a shrewd business woman for sure but shes in it only for the money, screwing up the car collector industry with greed.

Anyone remember that the real Eleanor was a 1973 Mustang and starred in the original film by Tony Halicki, 1974?
*raises hand* I love that movie! I actually believe it was a '71 refitted to look like a '73. I believe it had a 351 windsor if I remember right.
He made that movie by himself from scratch, his own friends/anyone willing to help, all his own stunts, even the jump when he broke his back....legend.

Not everything is blacked out @ 23:38. Gauges are white and red...would’ve been better black with yellow or red needles.

Is this the company that sued b is for build ?
nope, its Eleanor Licensing LLC google them, they are rats.
