2006 Ford GT
A True Modern Day Classic
Ford Motor Company has always been very open and proud of its heritage, perhaps more so than any other car manufacturer. Over the years they have produced some incredible cars designed specifically to pay homage to some of the amazing achievements of the past. One of the best examples would have to be the Ford GT, built to resemble and pay tribute to the incredible Ford GT40’s of the 1960’s that dominated every race series Ford chose to enter them in. Built for only two model years 2005 and 2006, the GT is a true Ford collector car. Receiving impressive reviews from critics, Ford was applauded for doing the name justice with a car that could not only compete with, but in many cases defeat competitors such as Ferrari, just like the original GT40 was made famous for.
Presented here is an absolutely stunning example of a 2006 model Ford GT. Painted in the ultra-desirable Midnight Blue with White stripes. This car has the rarest of all striped optioned production numbers for 2006, even more scarce then Mark II Black. This Ford supercar is also outfitted with the optional forged alloy wheels and red painted brake calipers. Since new it has been extremely well maintained and see minimal mileage, with only 393 miles on the all aluminum 5.4L DOHC supercharged V8 engine. Rated at 550hp and 500 lb/ft of torque, that impressive motor is also equipped with a dry sump oil system to ensure it sits as low in the chassis as possible and is backed by a Ricardo 6-speed transmission. All this is brought to a stop by 4 piston Brembo brake calipers with cross drilled and vented rotors making the car capable of true supercar performance. This Ford GT is a pristine example, collector owned since new and displayed in climate controlled private showroom. It comes with all the delivery tags and bags that were carefully removed and stored. With the shape and appearance of the classic GT40, the modern technology making it capable of competing with anything from its European rivals, this Ford GT is in many ways just like its predecessors, making it is a genuine modern classic.
