content: I remember when I was a kid, this was one of the hottest films. Low budget success as well.  The film is known for having wrecked and destroyed 93 cars in a 40 minute car chase scene...The pursuit is the longest car chase (40 minutes) in movie history and takes Pace through five cities as he attempts to lose police. Nearly every civilian vehicle seen in close proximity to the main chase (especially in downtown Long Beach) was owned by Halicki. This resulted in several cars appearing multiple times in the 40-minute sequence. The intact "Eleanor" used for beauty shots and the white Ford used by Pace and Stanley can be seen parked in a few Long Beach sequences.  There is a lot of good history in this film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_in_60_Seconds_(1974_film)
