The Ford GT: A Bridge Between Generations
The Ford GT is a special car, and the latest generation is no exception. This supercar is a no-holds-barred machine that can cost seven figures or more. However, for those who want to get into the Heritage Edition club without breaking the bank, there is a low-mileage 2006 Ford GT up for sale at Bring a Trailer.
This generation of the Ford GT is unique because it came out at a time when it had no direct American competitor. It served as the perfect bridge between the GT40 racecars of the 1960s and the current generation of the GT. The Heritage Edition car is one of just 383 ever made, and it has just 580 miles on the odometer.
Low Mileage and Perfect Presentation
The low mileage of this Heritage Edition car aids in its nearly perfect presentation. While there may be lower mileage examples out there, they cannot look much better than this one. Every detail of the exterior is shining under the spotlight in the photos attached to the listing.
The exterior features a Gulf-inspired blue and orange livery with Ford GT graphics and a stripe down the middle. The HID headlights, front splitter, rear diffuser, and Brembo brakes look as though they could’ve just come off of the production floor. The iconic BBS wheels appear to be actually spotless.
The cabin of this Heritage Edition car is just as impressive. The black and silver upholstery is factory fresh, and the switchgear, manual transmission shifter, and gauge cluster are without blemish. Under the hood and front clip, we find the same condition.
A Complete Package Waiting for a Driver
The supercharged 5.4-liter V8 in the rear is factory-rated at 550 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. It sends that power to the rear wheels only through a Ricardo six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It’s a complete package waiting for a driver who will actually use it.
A Perfect Duo
The seller of this classic low-mileage GT is also selling his 2019 Ford GT ’68 Heritage Edition. So somebody could end up snatching up both to keep them as a matching pair. We hope they get to stick together as they’re clearly a perfect duo.
Conclusion
The Ford GT is a special car that has served as a bridge between generations. The Heritage Edition car is one of just 383 ever made, and this low-mileage example is nearly perfect in its presentation. The exterior and cabin are without blemish, and the supercharged 5.4-liter V8 in the rear is a complete package waiting for a driver who will actually use it. For those who want to get into the Heritage Edition club without breaking the bank, this 2006 Ford GT on sale at Bring a Trailer may be the perfect opportunity.
