2006 Ford GT With Less Than 100 Miles Up For Auction

Though it was discontinued for the second time not too long ago (not counting the GT40), the Ford GT remains a living legend, one that continues to only get more coveted and valuable with the passage of time. As such, we see plenty of Ford GT models from the first- and second-generations surfacing for sale at collector car auctions on a seemingly daily basis, and typically selling for big money, too. This 2006 Ford GT is certainly prime to attract its fair share of attention – and bids – as well, given the fact that it has just 91 miles on the clock.

This ultra-low-mile 2006 Ford GT is currently up for grabs at Bring a Trailer, and as one might imagine, it remains in showroom-like condition. It was sold new at Thorncrest Sherway Ford in Toronto, Ontario, but currently resides in California, sporting perfect Tungsten Grey Metallic paint with the seldomly-seen over-the-top stripe delete. On top of that, it’s one of just 25 examples produced in the 2006 model year that left the factory painted in this particular hue and no stripes, making it even more desirable than it was to begin with.

Inside the cabin, one will find Ebony leather Sparco seats with carbon-fiber shells sporting GT40-style ventilation grommets and harness slots, coupled with amenities including air conditioning, remote keyless entry, and push-button ignition. Power comes from the mid-mounted, supercharged Ford 5.4L V8, which was factory-rated to produce 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque and is mated to the Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential.

There was once a time when few folks wanted a first-generation Ford GT, and values were low, but that’s no longer the case, as they continue to soar in value as of late. This example seems more than likely to join the list of other high-dollar GTs hitting the auction block recently as well, which include a 4k-mile 2005 example with a stripe delete, as well as a preproduction model.
