For Sale: 2006 Ford GT in Saint Louis, Missouri

Few modern performance cars have captured the imagination of enthusiasts and collectors quite like the Ford GT. Developed as a modern interpretation of the legendary GT40 racers that brought Ferrari's dominance at Le Mans to an end in the 1960s, the Ford GT emerged from the wildly successful 2002 concept car that stunned audiences at the North American International Auto Show. Public enthusiasm was immediate, and Ford soon committed the car to production with remarkably few compromises between concept and reality.
When production began for the 2005 model year, the Ford GT instantly established itself as one of the great modern American supercars. Its aluminum spaceframe chassis, supercharged 5.4 liter V8 producing 550 horsepower, six speed Ricardo manual transaxle, and purposeful aerodynamic design delivered extraordinary performance while retaining an engaging and distinctly analog driving experience. Capable of nearly 205 miles per hour, the GT was more than simply a retro inspired homage. It was a genuine world class supercar that immediately earned praise for its performance, engineering, and usability.
Among the most collectible variants produced was the 2006 Heritage Edition, finished in the now iconic Heritage Blue and Epic Orange livery inspired by the Gulf Oil sponsored GT40 racers that achieved consecutive victories at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969. Instantly recognizable and deeply connected to Ford's racing legacy, the Heritage Edition quickly became the most sought-after specification of the production run and remains the definitive collector configuration today.
