This 2005 Ford GT is one of 2,022 produced for the model year and was first delivered to Jacky Jones Ford in Cleveland, Georgia. The car is finished in Mark IV Red with white racing stripes over Ebony leather and is powered by a supercharged 5.4L quad-cam V8 paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential. Equipment includes air conditioning, push-button start, a McIntosh CD stereo with a subwoofer, remote keyless entry, red-painted Brembo brake calipers, and BBS forged aluminum wheels. The car spent time in several states before being acquired by the current owner in 2019. This Ford GT has 618 miles and is offered on dealership consignment in Florida with a car cover, battery charger, manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Missouri title.
The car features aluminum body panels mounted over an extruded aluminum space frame with roll-bonded floor panels, and the first-generation GT took styling inspiration from Ford’s Le Mans-winning GT40 race cars of the 1960s. This example is finished in Mark IV Red with the over-the-top and side stripe options and incorporates Ford GT branding on both doors. Aerodynamic elements include a front splitter, rear lip spoiler, and a rear diffuser.
The 18″ and 19″ BBS forged aluminum wheels wear Goodyear Eagle F1 tires sized 235/45 up front and 315/40 out back. Stopping power is provided by red-painted Brembo calipers and cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The independent double-wishbone suspension features coilover monotube shocks in addition to front and rear stabilizer bars. The selling dealer notes that the brake fluid was flushed during current ownership.
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, 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 618 miles, a handful of which have been added under current ownership.
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. The selling dealer notes that the battery was replaced, spark plugs were changed, and the fluids were checked during current ownership.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential.
Manufacturer’s literature, an owner’s guide, a battery tender, and a car cover are included in the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Missouri.
