One of the few cars to become a film star in its own right, Eleanor from the 2000 cult movie Gone in 60 seconds, has been sold at auction in Indianapolis for a cool one million dollars (R9.4 million) to an anonymous bidder.

Bear in mind, however, that this is the real deal, the actual 1967 Ford Mustang GT500 driven by Nicholas Cage in the film - and it's not a show car.

Built for the movie by Cinema Vehicle Services and coachbuilder Chip Foose, it has a 5.7-litre V8 generating 298kW, a four-speed manual gearbox, lowered suspension and 17” period alloy rims.
