What a Way To Celebrate 100 Years!

Original Owner - 2005 Ford GT

We have had a number of these GTs here over the last decade. Huge fans of them for their driving dynamics and pure enjoyment behind the wheel. Plus anywhere you go in them, you attract a crowd - they truly embody modern American supercars.

It’s hard to imagine that the same company who built the humble Model T would have the potential to produce one of the most amazing performance cars the world has ever seen; not once, but twice (and a third time that we will get into next week...). At the 2003 Detroit Auto Show, the GT40 concept car showed the world that the Ford 100 year anniversary was going to be more than a year long celebration. Two decades later the performance celebrations continue in the hands of fortunate collectors and drivers sitting behind the wheel of the Ford GT.

The Camilo Pardo designed GT40 concept car was both visually compelling and technologically sophisticated. Just as Ford had accomplished their commanding win over Ferrari with their unprecedented “one-two-three” Le Mans victory, Ford reminded everyone they could build a supercar capable of besting Italian exotics. During the two-year production run from 2004-2005, Ford built 4,038 GTs.

The resultant lightweight chassis is not only light, it met all safety requirements within a very short window of development time. Exceptional technology showcased on the car is not limited to the chassis alone as the mid-mounted 5.4 liter Ford Modular dual overhead cam 550 hp V8 engine, equipped with a Twin Screw Supercharger, is mated to a Ricardo six-speed manual transmission. Potent and highly capable, the Ford GT delivered top numbers when tested new with 0-60 3.3 second times, the quarter mile lapsing in 11.4 seconds, and a top speed over 205 mph.

This current example here is showing just 2,000 miles and has had only a single owner from new. It is optioned in the "ideal spec" in our opinion -- the three option car, eschewing only the McIntosh stereo option which has the large subwoofer at your elbow. Who needs an upgraded stereo and subwoofer with a supercharged mid engine V-8 and a manual transmission? Let's go drive.

Warm Regards,
