Vehicle Description
Ford GT Gulf Racing Livery 650HP 6 Speed.
The 2005 Ford GT is a high-performance sports car produced by Ford
as a modern tribute to the original Ford GT40, which achieved
notable success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1960s.
The 2005 Ford GT is powered by a mid-mounted 5.4-liter supercharged
V8 engine.
The stock engine in this GT has updated supercharger pulleys and
now produces 650 horsepower and is mated to a Ricardo 6-speed
manual transmission. Performance is key with the GT that can
accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in approximately 3.3 seconds
and has a top speed of around 205 mph.
The design of the 2005 Ford GT pays homage to the original GT40,
featuring a sleek and aerodynamic body with classic racing stripes.
The GT we have here takes this homage to another level after being
converted into a Heritage Edition with Gulf Livery paint
scheme.
Ford produced the GT in limited numbers, with approximately 4,038
units built over its two-year production run, from 2005 to
2006.
The legacy lives on as the 2005 Ford GT are highly regarded as a
modern classic, and its limited production numbers, performance,
and design have made it a sought-after collector car.
Now some background on the 2005 Ford GT we have here at RK Motors
in Charlotte, NC.
This 2005 Ford GT was first delivered to Miller Ford in Baltimore,
MD. It was sold to its second and current owner who is from North
Carolina.
This Ford GT is a very special car as the second owner always
wanted a Heritage GT from a very early age. This four option Ford
GT was originally red with white stripes and when it came time to
convert the car over to a Heritage Edition the current owner was
very careful who he picked to fulfill his childhood dream and
spared no expense of the conversion. So, he sent his car to the GT
Guy in Rockwood MI. Both Rich Brooks and Denis Breitenback of the
GT Guy LLC shop lead the team for the Ford GT project responsible
for the development and delivery of the 2005/2006 Ford GT to
market. Who better to have this GT taken care of then the two men
who worked on the Ford GT development program!
During the conversion process, the car was completely taken apart
so it could be painted in its current Heritage colors. All ford
logos, stripes, numbers, and Gulf logos have all been painted on
the car unlike the Heritage from the factory which came with
decals. The rear bumper was deleted, and grilles installed. All
original parts are still available and will come with the car.
In addition, the wheels and gas cap were painted in a satin black
matching the side skirts and spoilers. The calipers were painted
Orange with Ford GT painted in black.
The interior is covered in leather and Alcantara suede. The
stitching was outlined with orange thread.
