The Ford GT40 is a true icon in the automotive world, a car that came along and faced long odds in the automaker’s quest to take down Ferrari at Le Mans – and yet, exceeded all expectations. These days, original Ford GT40 models are worth a literal fortune, but the same is quickly becoming true of that model’s successor – the Ford GT, which joined the lineup in 2005 and has since lived through two generations. Today, Ford GT models routinely sell for hundreds of thousands or even over a million dollars at auction, but now, Ford Authority readers have the chance to bring home a truly amazing 2005 Ford in a far more affordable way, thanks to this new sweepstakes from the folks at Dream Giveaway.

This Mark VI Red Clearcoat-painted 2005 Ford GT with an Ebony interior has just 3,000 miles on the clock, and as such, looks like it just rolled into a dealership after it was kept in a climate-controlled garage all these years. It’s also loaded with every option available for the GT’s very first year of production, including painted racing stripes, BBS lightweight forged aluminum wheels, red-painted brake calipers, and the McIntosh audio system. All of this equipment meant that this 2005 Ford GT touted an original sticker price of $156,595, though it would easily sell for much more than that in today’s market.
Power for this spectacular Ford GT comes from the supercharged 5.4L V8, which in this guise was factory-rated to produce 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, flowing to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. Dream Giveaway will pay $117,000 in taxes to help the lucky winner, too.
If this amazing 2005 Ford GT isn’t somehow enough of a prize on its own accord, the proceeds from this sweepstakes will go to a fantastic cause – New Beginning Children’s Homes (NBCH), a 501(c) (3) organization that maintains care, custody, and control of all donations received in connection with Dream Giveaway drawings and benefits various veterans and children’s charities. If for some reason the winner doesn’t want to take home this amazing automotive prize, they can also choose a cool $300,000 in cash as an alternative.
Those that wish to throw their name in the proverbial hat to win this 2005 Ford GT and support a great cause can do so by heading over here to secure their entries. Better yet, use the promo code FA1224F and score bonus entries – the more one donates, the more bonus entries one receives. This sweepstakes is scheduled to end on November 13th, 2025 – after which a winner will be chosen. And who knows – that lucky person might just be one of our very own readers!

I’d take the $300K, no question.
Well, this would sell at auction for $400-$500K, plus I’d get the $117K tax allowance. I think I’d drive it for a year then sell it.
