Against Eugene's vehement protests, Pace does not relinquish the heroin, and has the Cadillac and its contents burned at a remote location — unbeknownst to Eugene. The theft of all 48 vehicles is soon completed, but the second 'Eleanor' is discovered to be uninsured within hours of delivery to the docks. At the same time, Eugene learns of the Cadillac's fate and attempts to start a brawl; ultimately leaving the office in a rage.
Pace prepares to steal the third 'Eleanor', unaware that Eugene has anonymously tipped off the police. As a result of the tip-off, two detectives Butch Stockton and Phil Woods in an unmarked Mercury corner the disguised Pace as he exits the International Towers. A minute car chase in which 93 vehicles are destroyed ensues, covering six California cities from Long Beach to Carson.
Eluding the police with speed and driving skill, Pace keeps from being caught by police — but not without causing irreparable damage to the car. Pace is now desperate; police blockades and surveillance surround the areas.
Pace spots another 'Eleanor' Mustang pulling into a car wash. Realizing an opportunity, Pace drives the abused Mustang up to the wash entrance, leaves it with the staff, and then dupes the owner of the fourth Mustang under the guise of being the manager of the car wash. After a quick license plate swap and removal of his disguise, he subsequently leaves the car wash with the intact Mustang.
Meanwhile, the duped owner is inquiring with the manager of the car wash as to the whereabouts of her Mustang — and faints at the sight of the wrecked car as it exits the wash bay. The police, spotting the wrecked Mustang, quickly descend upon the scene to arrest the manager of the car wash, who matches the description of Pace. Gone in 60 Seconds is classified as an independent film.
Halicki wrote, starred, directed, produced and even did his own stuntwork in the film. In a contemporary context, the portions of the film preceding the chase sequences are generally seen as on par with a period B-film.
Halicki employed family and friends instead of professional actors to play parts in his movie to keep the budget low. The characters depicted as being members of the emergency services were actual police officers, firemen, or paramedics.
The then-mayor of Carson, California, Sak Yamamoto, also appears as himself. Everything sat in an empty lot for over a year until production began in The fire trucks seen on the Vincent Thomas Bridge during the main chase were real Long Beach FD units on their way to an actual emergency call. The 'crash' staged for the film blocked both lanes, preventing the trucks from proceeding until the cars were cleared. Halicki asked the camera crew to film them in case he found a place and time to fit the shots into the movie.
There was no official script, apart from several pages outlining main dialog sequences. This caused many problems for the editor, Warner E. Leighton, who never knew what footage was being dumped on him or where in the movie it belonged. In the DVD audio commentary, he described the script for the construction site scenes of the main pursuit as a piece of cardboard with a circle on it.
Halicki pointed at it and said, 'That's the dust bowl. We went around it twice. There's your script. 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 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. The workshop scenes at Chase Research were filmed at Halicki's real-life workshop. Occasionally, filming would stop for several days so he could repair cars to earn money and continue production.
