Ford was not merely capitalizing on nostalgia when it channeled its Le Mans-dominating GT40 race cars to create the mid-engined GT in 2004. With its supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission, the GT was a formidable sports car of its own. Its superplastic-formed frame was mated to extensive aluminum exterior and carbon fiber interior panels to save weight. As a result, the GT could vault to 60 mph in just over three seconds before topping out at a breathtaking 205 mph. Demand was strong when released, and the GT has remained an appreciating classic today. In all, 4,038 were built at the company's Wixom, Michigan, assembly plant.

The 2006 Ford GT presented here is from the final year of production and is presented in Mark II Black with Silver Le Mans stripes. It was delivered new to Future Ford in Sacramento, California, and stayed with its first owner at the base of the Sierras for nearly nine years. During that time, it was sparingly driven. Its second owner acquired it in early 2017 and continued to preserve the car in excellent condition. Today, the GT has been driven just over 500 miles and shows few, if any, signs of use, down to its Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

The GT includes its original window sticker, which confirms that it was ordered with every available option-McIntosh radio, BBS alloy wheels, Le Mans stripes, and grey-painted brake calipers. The car is accompanied by its original manuals, Ford GT bag, front mount license plate bracket, and air compressor with original tow hook.
