2006 Ford GT

The 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition is an absolute marvel of engineering and design, and this particular example stands out even more. With just 3 miles on the odometer, it's the lowest-mile Ford GT in North America, a near-mythical "in the wrapper" car that has been meticulously preserved since new.

Ford produced only 346 Heritage Editions, making this car even rarer and highly coveted. The Gulf Oil-inspired livery pays homage to the legendary Ford GT40 Mk I, which achieved back-to-back victories at the 1968 and 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans. This striking blue and orange paint scheme is instantly recognizable and has become one of the most iconic liveries in motorsport history.

The Ford GT was groundbreaking in its use of advanced technologies for the time. The car’s superplastic-formed frame and aluminum body panels kept weight down while maintaining strength. The innovative roll-bonded floor panels and friction stir-welded center tunnel highlighted Ford’s cutting-edge production techniques, while the magnesium center console and the unique “ship in a bottle” gas tank showcased the car’s engineering excellence. Even details like the capless fuel filler system and one-piece door panels were designed with both performance and elegance in mind.

Under the skin, the Ford GT is powered by a 5.4-liter all-aluminum V8, fitted with an Eaton Lysholm screw-type supercharger, producing an incredible 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. This engine, which uses a dry sump oiling system to keep it low in the chassis, is mated to a Ricardo 6-speed manual transmission with a helical limited-slip differential, allowing the GT to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. This performance figure was mind-blowing at the time and remains impressive today.

The suspension and braking system are equally advanced, with four-piston aluminum Brembo calipers and cross-drilled, vented rotors at all four corners, ensuring exceptional stopping power. When the rear clamshell canopy is lifted, the suspension components and the stunning all-aluminum V8 are fully visible, showcasing the mechanical beauty of the GT’s design.

This 3-option Canadian Heritage Edition Ford GT is more than just a supercar—it’s a meticulously crafted homage to Ford’s racing legacy and a collector’s dream. It comes with its original books, tools, and keys, preserving its factory-fresh status. With such low mileage, it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history that remains in essentially brand-new condition.
