by Wes

This 1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S has spent half a century doing almost nothing, and that is precisely what makes it extraordinary: unrestored, original, and showing just 5,804 miles.

by Wes

Eleanor is the only Ford Mustang ever to earn star billing in a movie, and the 1971 Sportsroof that played her in the original 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds is the reason the name became legend. Dressed as a 1973 Mach 1, she is both beautiful and brutally tough. This is where the most famous Mustang in film history was born.
