January 17-26, 2014
This Lot scheduled to be sold FRI 5:45PM
Outwardly similar to the renowned Ford GT40 race cars of the 1960s, the 2005-2006 Ford GT is larger, wider and 3 inches higher than the GT40 for increased passenger comfort, but the similarities are really only as deep as the GT’s voluptuous aluminum skin. Built on an aluminum space-frame chassis, the GT was designed by Camilo Pardo, the head of Ford's "Living Legends" studio, with performance development in the prototype stage by Carroll Shelby, the man who was crucial in making the GT40 the legend it is today. Power is by a mid-engined supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 rated at 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. A Ricardo 6-speed manual transaxle translates that power into exhilarating zero-to-60 times of 3.7 seconds and a top speed near 200 MPH, while Brembo Anti-Lock vented disc brakes provide substantial stopping power. This 2005 Ford GT presents in classic fashion with Midnight Blue Metallic paint and boasts all four options available on the GT: contrasting Le Mans stripes, forged alloy wheels, painted disc brake calipers and a McIntosh sound system.
