Best of Eleanor - Gone in 60 Seconds 

How many cars did they use and destroy to film. At least 10

@@nookam 93.

@@Tiffany.1970 Yes. It is actually a 1971 Sportsroof merely dressed to look like a '73 Mach 1, though the hood stripe is unique.

​@@nookam one stunt car. Two hero cars!

Seems cap idk man maybe not

instablaster...

Totally. Better than bullet

REAL muscle cars, not the pseudo-muscle produced now (barf). Mopar forever!

Better than bullet

The Italian Job (The Original 1969 film) is another note worthy example too amongst those 3.

@@Benratbag1997 Agreed, the top four. And not a bit of CGI or other special effects in sight.

and the best

I seen it for the first time last night it was a lot of fun to watch

The better movie the only scene in part 2 that's worth watching is when they beat Michael Rapaport to death rest of sux

Agreed

That was the beauty of any of the old movies. I recall in the 80s when mild 60s/70s muscle cars could be had for about $1500. The more sought out big-block cars were in the $3-4K range (i.e. '69 Charger with the 440). Now, these prices were in the L.A. area, so there were probably $1500 deals on the big-block cars elsewhere. The unique thing about '68, '69 and '70 Chargers in the L.A. area were how they were essentially all scooped up to be used in 'Dukes of Hazard' which helped drive up prices on the Chargers. Hemis were already collector cars, and were fetching $10K or higher, but that was if they were found. I think the last era where they could have made equivalent low-grade car chase movies would have been in the 90s, maybe into the early 2000s when the 80s and 90s Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds, as well as sedans from Ford and Chevy (used as cop cars) could still be had relatively cheaply and were probably as easy to work on as the 60s and 70s cars used in the old movies featuring car chases like 'Gone in...'

well for movies like this, at least in our time now, they use replica cars.. for example the Need for Speed movie in 2014 had hypercar crashes, all replicas but still amazing onboards oh and they also have 60-70's muscle cars in the first race.

Crushed, sadly.

@@LITTLE1994 He never did explain why. Makes me wonder if it ever really was. At least we know one of them survived for sure.

@@franklinthefox4306 NOPE! It's still alive and it still runs. It's owned by his horrible widow though, who has taken other people's mustangs they name Eleanor for copyright reasons. It's true, look it up.

@@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts let her be, man

Most of them 440's or 383. Mopar power 👌👌
