Vehicle Description
Less than 200 GTX1s were ever produced. This one features a 6-speed
manual transmission and the $25,000 optional single-piece removable
hardtop roof. January 4th, 2008 marked the end of the production
for the Ford GTX1. The Ford GTX1 concept car was designed by Kip
Ewing of SVT Division for the 2005 SEMA show in Las Vegas. The car
was an instant hit at the show. Plans to build a limited production
of the GTX1 were laid and agreed to between Ford Motor Co. and
Genaddi Design Group. Clients would be able to upgrade their Ford
GT Supercars into the GTX1 Roadster version at Genaddi Design
Group's facilities in Green Bay, WI. There would be a limited
number of 500 GTX1s built to the customer's request, plus an
additional 100 SEMA edition cars built to duplicate the car that
appeared at the SEMA show in 2005, were available. Only about 100
GTX1s have been ordered and completed by Genaddi Design Group. Like
the original run of the Ford GT Supercars, the build cycle for the
GTX1 was, and is, limited to two years. The GTX1 was made famous by
numerous magazines worldwide, countless videos and YouTube shows -
and even famed car aficionado Jeremy Clarkson of the BBC TV show
"Top Gear." He claimed while driving the GTX1 that it was one of
the best cars he had ever driven. This example has 14,970 actual
miles. CARFAX shows an open recall for passenger frontal airbags.
The engine compartment of this car has been signed by Kip Ewing and
Carrol Shelby.
