Vehicle Description

Go to www.noreserveclassics.com to see over 50 high-quality photos and video for this 2005 Ford GT PB1-1 "Nard�" Prototype and all of our other inventory!

No Reserve Classics is honored to present what we believe to be one of the most historically significant Ford GTs ever offered for private ownership. PB1-1 represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable piece of Ford Performance history, complete with exceptional provenance, continuous ownership history, and an archive that documents the rebirth of one of America's greatest performance icons. Vehicles of this significance are rarely available, and once placed into a major collection, may never again be publicly offered.

PB1-1 is far more than an early Ford GT-it is one of the most historically significant vehicles ever produced by Ford Performance. As the very first vehicle in Ford's PB1 (Production-Representative Build Phase 1) program, this prototype marked the beginning of the production validation process that ultimately led to customer deliveries of the 2005 Ford GT. Built to verify Ford's manufacturing procedures while maintaining production-level specifications, PB1-1 became one of only two Ford GTs selected to travel to Europe for final high-speed validation testing. Powered by Ford's legendary 5.4L supercharged DOHC V8 paired with a Ricardo 6-speed manual transaxle, this prototype achieved a certified 209.1 MPH during testing at Italy's famed Nard� Ring, validating Ford's performance claims before the first production GT ever reached customers. Equipped with factory development cooling air foils, SVT track alignment, a full roll cage, dual Sparco 5-point harnesses, and serving as the Development Hoosier R6 Tire Program vehicle, PB1-1 remains one of the most important engineering vehicles in Ford GT history.

Finished in its instantly recognizable yellow exterior, PB1-1 retains the unique appearance it carried throughout Ford's European validation program. While outwardly resembling a production Ford GT, the car features factory prototype development components and testing equipment used during sustained high-speed evaluation at Nard�. Every aspect of the vehicle reflects its engineering purpose, from its aerodynamic development cooling air foils to its track-prepared stance. As one of only two Ford GTs chosen for European testing, this prototype represents the exact configuration Ford engineers relied upon to prove the capabilities of the modern GT before production commenced.

Inside, PB1-1 balances production Ford GT design with functional engineering equipment installed specifically for testing and validation. The cockpit features factory GT seating complemented by a professionally integrated roll cage and dual Sparco 5-point racing harnesses used during high-speed development. The interior remains remarkably preserved and serves as a rare glimpse into Ford's Special Vehicle Team development program, showcasing the equipment and configuration utilized while validating one of America's greatest modern supercars.

Unlike nearly every other development prototype from the era, PB1-1 survived Ford's testing program and has remained remarkably intact with continuous ownership history and extraordinary documentation. Following Ford's invitation-only sale of select development vehicles, the car was acquired directly from Ford Motor Company by a longtime Ford enthusiast, who meticulously preserved both the vehicle and its extensive historical archive. Included is what is believed to be one of the most comprehensive Ford GT documentation collections in existence, consisting of the original Ford SVT Equipment Sale Agreement, engineering documentation, Target 200 test media, original Nard� testing documents, display boards, historical photographs, original CDs, posters, event materials, and correspondence documenting PB1-1's pivotal role in the rebirth of the Ford GT. Featured during the European Ford GT press launch and documented as a BBC Top Gear Magazine test vehicle in July 2004, this prototype represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable piece of Ford Performance history.
