The design of the first-generation GT was an homage to the Le Mans-winning GT40 race cars of the 1960s and features aluminum body panels mounted over an extruded aluminum space frame with roll-bonded floor panels. This example is one of 494 finished in Tungsten Grey Metallic with silver racing stripes for the 2006 model year and incorporates Ford GT branding on both doors. Aerodynamic elements include a front splitter, rear lip spoiler, and a rear diffuser. Scrapes are visible on the underside of the front splitter and two rear diffuser fins as well as a rock chip in the driver side stripe vinyl.
The 18″ and 19″ BBS forged aluminum wheels wear Goodyear Eagle F1 tires sized 235/45 up front and 315/40 out back. The independent double-wishbone suspension features coilover monotube shocks in addition to front and rear stabilizer bars. Stopping power is provided by grey-painted Brembo calipers and cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. All four tires are said to have been replaced in 2014.
The doors curve inward to form portions of the roof and open to reveal Sparco-designed seats with carbon-fiber frames and GT40-inspired ventilation grommets. A friction stir-welded central tunnel is topped by an aluminum center console with rotary climate controls. Equipment includes air conditioning, a push-button start, remote keyless entry, power windows and locks, an adjustable steering column, and a factory-optional McIntosh CD stereo with a subwoofer.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel sits ahead of a group of toggle switches and GT40-inspired instrumentation including a central 8k-rpm tachometer, an offset 220-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, boost pressure, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 1,300 miles, a handful of which have been added by the selling dealer.
The mid-mounted 5.4-liter quad-cam V8 features a Lysholm screw-type supercharger, a water-to-air intercooler, and an aluminum block, cylinder heads, and pistons as well as a dry-sump lubrication system. Output was factory rated at 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Pacific Ford, factory options, and a total MSRP of $166,945.
The sale includes manufacturer’s literature, an owner’s guide, spare keys, a battery tender, and a car cover.
