Seller's Introduction
Our team is proud to present a low-mileage example of an iconic modern American supercar, a 2005 Ford GT, a first-generation tribute to Ford’s legendary GT40 program and Le Mans victories of the 1960s. Showing just 8,512 miles, this example is finished in a traditional White with Blue stripes over a Black leather interior and retains the unmistakable analog character that defined early-2000s halo cars. Powered by a supercharged V8 and paired exclusively with a manual transmission, this GT delivers a raw, mechanical driving experience that has become increasingly rare in the modern performance car landscape.
Overview
The modern-day GT marked Ford’s triumphant return to the supercar arena in the early 2000s, and it wasn't just developed as a modern reinterpretation of the GT40 that dominated Le Mans in 1966, but also celebrated the Blue Oval's centennial (1903-2003) as seen in exquisite design details, such as clamshell doors and the 100 number in the headlights. However, unlike retro-styled contemporaries, the mid-engine layout on the GT was engineered with a singular focus on performance, structural rigidity, and driver engagement. Its aluminum spaceframe chassis, pushrod suspension, and mid-mounted supercharged V8 placed it firmly among the world’s elite performance cars upon release.
Power comes from a handbuilt supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 that produces 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, routed through a Ricardo-sourced 6-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. 60 mph comes up in a shy over 3.4 seconds while top speed is rated at 205 mph. The drivetrain is known to deliver immense torque, immediate throttle response, and a visceral mechanical feel, all traits that defined the analog supercar era. With a curb weight under 3,500 pounds and near-perfect weight distribution, the GT remains a benchmark for balance and driver involvement.
This particular 2005 example shows 8,512 miles at the time of documentation and documented ownership across Tennessee and Florida. Five prior owners are noted, consistent with collector-grade usage. The car remains visually correct to original specification in its White over Blue stripe configuration, a livery that directly references the 1966 Le Mans-winning GT40s, further giving it a timeless appeal. A notable factory option on this car is the premium McIntosh sound system. Besides, this car has also received some visual and mechanical upgrades, including 19″ and 20″ CCW wheels, AFCO Racing gas shocks, Delrin motor mounts, Accufab Racing throttle body, Ford Performance headers, mufflers, and aftermarket supercharger pulleys.
Those keeping a keen eye on the market will recognize that early Ford GTs without extensive cosmetic alteration are increasingly difficult to find, and examples with relatively low miles like the one seen here continue to command strong interest. As one of just 4,000+ first-generation Ford GTs built between 2004 and 2006 model years, this mid-engine American exotic represents a defining moment in American performance history, before turbocharging dominance, electrification, and driver-assist systems reshaped the supercar segment.
