Ford began the new millennium with a bang. With the announcement of
their GT40 concept car at the North American International Auto
Show, the heritage-based supercar design produced public
anticipation that was nothing short of staggering. Pulling from the
design language from their Le Mans-winning Ford GT40s, Ford was
able to place their modern supercar into production and became one
of the most powerful Ford vehicles offered. Sleek, powerful, and
fast, its timeless design was undeniably linked to the 4-time
winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Even to this day, the Ford GT
is still regarded as one of the best modern interpretations of a
historic race car for the road.
This 2005 Ford GT was ordered in the stunning Quick Silver Metallic
over a black leather interior. The Ford GT took numerous design
elements from the original race cars, such as the headlights, the
swooping rear clamshell, the motorsports-inspired seats and a
simple yet-elegant 6-speed shifter. The dash is centered around the
driver, recreating the almost cockpit-like experience of the
original Le Mans racers. The supercharger is clearly visible in the
rear-view mirror with the entire 550 horsepower engine directly
behind the seats, giving both the driver and passenger a taste of
what driving a real GT40 might have felt like.
The first recorded ownership began In June of 2011. This GT would
find itself going through a few owners, but never amassed any kind
of mileage whatsoever. In fact, in the first 8 years after it was
first shipped to the original dealer it had only added 626 miles.
In February of 2013 the Ford GT was purchased by its most recent
owner, who would end up owning the car until just recently. Careful
not to add too many miles to the classic Ford, he only managed to
drive enough to bring the odometer to today, 1,565 miles. During
his ownership, he had the car serviced to ensure that it was in the
proper condition for when he wanted to drive the car.
When the GT arrived at Canepa, the homage supercar was inspected
from front to back. With only 1,564 miles since its original
delivery, seeing the Ford GT in person was the true confirmation of
its originality. The Quick Silver metallic paint finish is in
like-new condition and looks as if the car was just shipped from
Ford. The interior is nothing short of fantastic, showing little to
no wear throughout the motorsports-inspired cabin. With the
5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine and the rest of the mechanicals in
excellent condition, the car only needed a light cleaning to bring
it to showroom condition. With this prime example of a 2005 Ford GT
with only 1,565 miles since new, this is the special opportunity
for a lucky new owner to experience what owning a new Ford GT might
have been like.
