THE FORD GT
In Ford Motor Company's long and hugely successful history, few events are as memorable and as important as the GT40 racing cars' four consecutive overall victories at Le Mans. Stemming from a failed acquisition of Ferrari, an understandably frustrated Ford enlisted Carroll Shelby and others to build a racing car with one mission: to beat Ferrari at Le Mans. With their goals set high, the GT40 became the most iconic and successful underdog in Le Mans history.
Arriving in prototype form just in time for Ford's centennial celebration in 2003, the Ford GT borrowed heavily from the stunning design and profile of the GT40 and set out on a similar mission: to compete with, and surpass, the supercar establishment.
The ultra-high performance Ford GT showcases the finest in advanced technologies, constructed on a lightweight aluminum chassis clothed in superplastic-formed lightweight composite and aluminum body panels. Powered by a mid-mounted, hand-built, supercharged quad-cam 550bhp V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transaxle and featuring racing derived suspension and braking systems, the GT avails the driver of astounding performance and power.
With this prolific power, the Ford GT will sprint from 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds, hurtling on to some 205mph before the speed limiter kicks in. When production ceased in 2006, with just over 4,000 Ford GTs produced, the epic Ford had made its mark on automotive history once again - and became an instant collector's car.
THE CAR OFFERED
This stunning 2006 model-year Ford GT is offered in incredible original condition with fewer than 5,700 total miles since new. This car was hand assembled at the Wixom, Michigan Ford plant during October of 2005, and finished as it is today in striking Mark IV Red, a color that brilliantly highlights the design and curves of its muscular lightweight bodywork. Adding to its desirability, this GT was specified with the full complement of four factory options; the luxurious McIntosh stereo system, lightweight alloy rims, painted calipers and the bold painted Shelby Le Mans stripes down the center of the car.
According to the CARFAX Report, the GT received its Pre-Delivery Inspection by Henderson Ford of Waveland Mississippi in March of 2006, and was sold later that month, to a first owner who appears to have resided in Biloxi, Mississippi. The GT was serviced at Henderson Ford prior to the purchase by its second owner in 2012. The Ford GT remained in the South following its purchase in January of 2013 by the third and current caretaker, residing in Memphis, Tennessee, when it was recorded with just 3,605 miles on the odometer. The Ford GT has since been part of a prominent collection of sports and performance cars. At the time of cataloguing, potent Ford has fewer than 5,700 miles on the odometer and shows impeccably well in original condition throughout.
The Ford GT is part of a rare class of modern cars that became instant collectibles and have only grown increasingly sought after. Given its inimitable heritage, prolific performance, stunning design, and thrilling driving experience, Ford's supercar is a unique creation that will undoubtedly be revered for years to come. This particular GT offers a great opportunity to add a low mileage and well-specified example to any collection.
