2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition - Delivery Mileage Example With Only
79 Miles, All Four Options
Representing the ultimate expression of the first-generation Ford
GT, this exceptionally preserved 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition is
an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the most collectible
modern American supercars ever produced. Showing just 79 miles from
new, this virtually delivery-mileage example is one of only 343
Heritage Edition GTs built for 2006 and was delivered new to Quirk
Ford Inc. in Quincy, Massachusetts. Even more desirable, this
example was ordered with all four available factory options, making
it a particularly well-equipped and highly collectible example of
this limited-production model.
Introduced to commemorate Ford Motor Company's 100th anniversary
and celebrate the legendary GT40's historic achievements at the 24
Hours of Le Mans, the modern Ford GT paid tribute to one of the
greatest chapters in American motorsport history. The original GT40
famously ended Ferrari's dominance at Le Mans with an unprecedented
1-2-3 finish in 1966, followed by three consecutive victories from
1967 through 1969. The Heritage Edition specifically celebrates the
iconic Gulf Oil-sponsored GT40s campaigned by John Wyer's team,
which secured back-to-back overall victories at Le Mans in 1968 and
1969.
Finished in the instantly recognizable Gulf-inspired Heritage
Edition livery, this GT features the distinctive Gulf Blue
paintwork complemented by contrasting orange racing stripes,
faithfully recreating the appearance of its legendary racing
predecessors. Underneath its dramatic bodywork lies a hand-built,
all-aluminum 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine producing an
impressive 550 horsepower, paired with a Ricardo six-speed manual
transmission. With its mid-engine configuration, sophisticated
suspension, Brembo braking system and unmistakable supercar
proportions, the Ford GT delivers an exhilarating driving
experience with genuine motorsport heritage.
This example was specified with all four available factory options,
including the highly desirable McIntosh Audiophile sound system,
lightweight forged BBS aluminum wheels, grey-painted brake calipers
and the distinctive Gulf Heritage Edition paint scheme.
Accompanying the car are its factory window sticker, battery
charger, car cover, dealer booklet, two keys and owner's
manuals.
With just 79 miles recorded from new, this 2006 Ford GT Heritage
Edition represents a remarkably rare opportunity to acquire an
essentially untouched example of one of the most desirable modern
Ford performance cars. Combining extremely limited production,
iconic Le Mans racing heritage, all four factory options and
virtually delivery-mileage preservation, this is an exceptional
collector-grade supercar worthy of the finest automotive
collections.
