THE STORY
Opportunities to acquire a 2005-06 Ford GT don’t come along very often. Over the two years of production, Ford built only 4,033 Ford GTs, 2,022 in 2005 and 2,011 in 2006, each snapped up by eager and Ford-qualified buyers at nearly $150,000 each, not including dealer mark-up. Once ensconced in their garages, most owners have hung on to their acquisitions as an ultra-rare collectible that’s also fun to drive with its supercharged 5.4L V-8 and Ricardo 6-speed manual transmission. Showing only 8,622 miles, this 2006 Ford GT is an impressively low-mile example. One of just 185 produced in Mark II Black with full stripes for 2006, the impressive Ford supercar is equipped with all four of the available options that year—full stripes (side and Lemans), red brake calipers, BBS forged aluminum wheels and a McIntosh stereo.
Ford SVT’s modern rendition of the original Ford GT40 connected the historical dots to Ford’s legendary 1-2-3 victory at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. With a retro-modern shape designed by Camilo Pardo under the guidance of Ford Design Chief J. Mays, the 2005-06 Ford GTs incorporated many of the original’s signature engineering and design cues, including the hood-ducted radiator air flow, doors that cut into the roof and functional air intake scoops in the rear quarters. Unlike the race-oriented GT40s from the 1960s, the late-model Ford GTs boast expected modern amenities like a leather interior, pushbutton start, air conditioning, power rack-and-pinion steering, a powerful stereo and power windows and door locks.
With an aluminum body on an extruded aluminum space frame, Ford GTs also featured a Recardo 6-speed transmission, double wishbone SLA suspension with coilovers and underbody aerodynamic system. Like its brethren, this 2005 Ford GT’s rear-mounted, supercharged, hand-built, aluminum 5.4L DOHC V-8 churns out 550 HP thanks to an Eaton screw-type supercharger. This 2005 Ford GT is accompanied by an owner’s manual and valve cover plaque featuring the signatures of the Niche Line engine builders at Ford’s Romeo engine plant.
