2005 Ford GT

Chassis No. 1FAFP90S65Y401062The Ford GT emerged from a ''retro futuristic'' renaissance that swept through the automotive world in the early 2000s, with manufacturers drawing inspiration from the most recognizable designs in their history. Unveiled as a concept at the 2002 North American International Auto Show, the new GT paid homage to Ford's legendary GT40 racers that triumphed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive times from 1966 to 1969. By late 2004, Ford had transformed the concept into a production reality, instantly cementing its status as a rare and coveted modern classic.Powering the Ford GT was a supercharged, 32-valve V8 engine producing 550 horsepower. This powerplant was cradled in a sophisticated chassis constructed of hydroformed aluminum and composite materials, complemented by advanced unequal-length aluminum control arms and Brembo brakes at all four corners. Automotive journalists lauded the Ford GT, often drawing favorable comparisons to its Italian and German rivals, with Car and Driver writing in their comparison test of the GT, Porsche 911 GT3, and Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, ''It wasn't even a contest.''This Ford GT is one of 477 examples finished in Centennial White with full stripes for the 2005 model year. It was ordered with all four available options, comprising full Painted Racing Stripes in Blue, red-finished Brembo brake calipers, Forged BBS Lightweight Wheels, and the McIntosh Audiophile stereo with CD player for those moments when the symphonic roar of the V8 isn't quite enough.The accompanying clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report shows an initial registration in Virginia and later in Brighton, Colorado, with servicing at Brighton Ford until 2009. Offered for sale that year with 2,997 miles, the GT moved north of the border with a new owner in British Columbia, Canada. The GT saw sparing use during its time in Canada, with just 899 miles added prior to its return to the U.S. in May 2026.With under 4,000 original miles at the time of cataloging, this Ford GT presents in excellent, collector-quality condition. It retains its OEM factory car cover and bag, as well as its owner's manuals. In the span of more than two decades since its debut, the automotive world has witnessed a revolution in technology and a parade of new supercars. Yet the Ford GT's timeless appeal stems from its breathtaking heritage-inspired aesthetics that continue to turn heads and its unadulterated, analog driving experience. For discerning collectors, this four-option, low-mileage Ford GT represents an opportunity not to be overlooked.
