2005 Ford GT With Only 990 Miles Hits Auction

Low-Mileage Holy Grail 2005 Ford GT hits Bring A Trailer Auction Block with all the high-dollar bells and whistles collectors drool over.

The 2005 Ford GT is a vehicle that needs no introduction. Ford built the GT to commemorate the legendary Ford GT40 podium sweep at Le Mans in 1966. It became an instant classic before it even hit showroom floors and was praised by every automotive publication and outlet worldwide. Even then-Top-Gear-host Jeremy Clarkson, who is more than willing to outwardly share his distaste for American cars, couldn’t get enough. So much so that he even bought one. Now, you have the chance to buy a virtually brand-new one, too.

It’s no surprise that such a desirable, sought-after icon is up for auction on the powerhouse Bring A Trailer. At the time of writing, the bid was at $475,000 with three days left on the listing. However, the extremely low odometer reading of just 990 miles, along with all the desirable options, means this vehicle will command top dollar. Obviously, we can’t predict the final sale price. However, we can walk you through the details that will ensure this GT delivers a monumental final bid.

How Much Is a 2005 Ford GT?

According to Hagerty, one of these iconic pieces of Ford History in good condition is worth approximately $408,000 in base form. In addition, Hagerty states that the factory BBS wheels add $4,000, racing stripes add $3,000, and the McIntosh audiophile sound system adds $2,500. This car has all three of those options. So, the good condition value from Hagerty stacks up to $417,500. That said, the extremely low mileage and factory freshness of this particular example put it well beyond the “Good” category when it comes to condition. We think it’s safe to say that if someone purchased this car for $500,000, they’d consider it the deal of a lifetime.

For those unfamiliar with the specifications, the 2005 GT has a supercharged 5.4-liter engine paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. With 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque on tap, it can sprint from zero to 60 MPH in just 3.5 seconds. It’s capable of a top speed over 200 miles per hour. Furthermore, Ford only produced 2,022 examples according to the Bring A Trailer listing. Combine the scarcity with the growing difficulty of finding a low-mileage one after 20 years in the wild, and you start to see why these monumental bids come out of the woodwork.

We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this auction to see how much this gorgeous car pulls! Though our hopes of ever owning a 2005 Ford GT are long out the window, it’s still nice to daydream. Getting to see one is always a treat, whether or not we’ll ever be behind the wheel!
