Ford began the new millennium with a bang. With the announcement of their GT40 concept car at the North American International Auto Show, the heritage-based supercar design produced public anticipation that was nothing short of staggering. Pulling from the design language from their Le Mans-winning Ford GT40s, Ford was able to place their modern supercar into production and became one of the most powerful Ford vehicles offered. Sleek, powerful, and fast, its timeless design was undeniably linked to the 4-time winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Even to this day, the Ford GT is still regarded as one of the best modern interpretations of a historic race car for the road.
The Ford GT took numerous design elements from the original race cars, such as the headlights, the swooping rear clamshell, the motorsports-inspired seats and a simple yet-elegant 6-speed shifter. The dash is centered around the driver, recreating the almost cockpit-like experience of the original Le Mans racers. The supercharger is clearly visible in the rear-view mirror with the entire 550 horsepower engine directly behind the seats, giving both the driver and passenger a taste of what driving a real GT40 might have felt like.
This 2005 Ford GT was spec’d in Mark IV Red with a black leather interior, and optioned with all 4 Ford factory options: McIntosh audio system, BBS alloy wheels, over-body racing stripes, and red brake calipers. It was ordered by Brenegen Ford Mercury of Sparta, Wisconsin and was sold to its 1st and only caretaker on November 11th, 2005. The caretaker kept the car in a climate-controlled garage for their entire ownership, enjoying the car occasionally and having all factory bulletins performed. After a little more than 20 years with the Ford GT, the odometer read just 4,711 miles.
When the GT arrived at Canepa, the supercar was inspected from front to back. With only 4,711 miles since its original delivery, seeing the Ford GT in person was the true confirmation of its originality. The GT was put through the “Canepa Difference” process, giving it a thorough mechanical and cosmetic inspection. The paint finish is in like-new condition and looks as if the car was just shipped from Ford, and received full detail including a light foam pad polish of the Mark IV Red paint. The interior is nothing short of fantastic, showing little to no wear throughout the motorsports-inspired cabin. With the 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine and the rest of the mechanicals inspected and in excellent condition, this 2005 Ford GT is a prime example of the brand. With only 4,711 miles since new, this is the special opportunity for a lucky new owner to experience what owning a new Ford GT might have been like.
