To coincide with the 20th anniversary of the blockbuster movie, Gone in 60 Seconds, Eaglemoss Die-Cast Club has announced the upcoming launch of a subscription program to build a high-quality die-cast metal 1:8 scale model of the “star car” from the motion picture – Eleanor.

Subscribers will – for the very first time – be able to build a 1:8 scale replica of the car as seen in the movie, with every feature reproduced in stunning detail. The completed model is 22.9 inches long and will include the following superb elements:

  • Working headlights and tail lights
  • Turning front wheels operated by the steering wheel
  • Opening hood to reveal Eleanor’s phenomenal Ford small-block racing engine
  • Opening trunk, which contains the car’s nitro tank
  • Eleanor’s iconic Go Baby Go gearshift and NOS switch

Subscribers will receive regular monthly shipments of model parts. Accompanying each set of parts is a magazine that includes step-by-step build instructions, as well as features on the Gone in 60 Seconds franchise and the fascinating story of the magnificent Eleanor – voted “the most famous Mustang in history.”

The 1:8 scale die-cast Eleanor build-up is scheduled to make its US debut in early 2021, with pre-orders commencing in Fall 2020. Fans, collectors, model builders, and automotive enthusiasts can register their interest and be eligible for a risk-free introductory offer. European fans can also pre-register as well.
