 Cinema Vehicle Services actually produced 12 different "Eleanors"  for use in the production of this film. None of the 12 were actual  Shelby Mustangs but converted standard 1967 Mustang fastbacks. Of  those cars, seven survived the filming in various states of repair.  A 13th Eleanor, based on a real 1967 Shelby GT500 was prepared by  Cinema Vehicle Services for producer Jerry Bruckheimer (qv), but  that car did not appear in the film.
