9k-Mile 2005 Ford GT

This 2005 Ford GT is one of 2,022 built for the model year and it was purchased new by the seller’s friend and acquired by the seller in 2017. Now indicating 9k miles, the car is powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 linked with a six-speed manual gearbox and a helical limited-slip differential. It is finished in Midnight Blue over Ebony leather and was factory optioned with forged aluminum BBS wheels, painted white stripes, and a McIntosh stereo system. Modifications include a Walnut wood shift knob, paint protection film, a front charging port, Speedhut instrumentation, a transmission cooler, and ceramic-coated straight through exhaust pipes. This Ford GT is now offered with the manufacturer’s literature, spare parts, service records, and a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.

The Camilo Pardo-designed GT was styled as an homage to the Le Mans-winning GT40 racing cars of the 1960s and features aluminum body panels over an extruded-aluminum space frame and roll-bonded floors. This example is one of 265 finished in Midnight Blue for the model year and features optional over-the-top white stripes and Ford GT graphics, HID headlights, fog lights, side air intakes, a vented hood, a front splitter, a rear diffuser, and a dual center-exit exhaust system. Paint protection film has been added to all body panels and the seller added a front grille battery charging port.

Factory-optional BBS forged lightweight aluminum wheels measure 18″ up front and 19″ out back and are mounted with Goodyear Eagle F1 and Potenza RE050A Scuderia tires, respectively. The Brembo braking system is comprised of four-piston monoblock calipers with cross-drilled and ventilated rotors that measure 14″ up front and 13.2″ out back.

The cockpit is trimmed in Ebony leather and houses manually adjusted seats designed by Sparco that feature carbon-fiber shells as well as GT40-style ventilation grommets and harness slots. The central tunnel is topped by an aluminum console with rotary climate controls, and rubber mats cover the aluminum floor panels. Additional interior amenities include a Walnut wood shift knob, a McIntosh CD stereo, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, and push-button ignition. Aluminum-colored vent hole surrounds have been added to the seats.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel is affixed to a tilting and telescoping column ahead of the replacement Speedhut instrumentation consisting of a central tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline and an offset 220-mph speedometer. The gauges were replaced when the factory speedometer and tachometer failed. Toggle-switch controls are positioned under additional gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, boost, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 9k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership.

The mid-mounted 5.4-liter DOHC V8 features an aluminum block, cylinder heads, and pistons in addition to a Lysholm screw-type supercharger, a dry-sump lubrication system, and a water-to-air intercooler. Factory-rated output was 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The rear hatch struts were replaced recently and a coolant flush was also performed.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential. A transmission cooler has been added, and the factory muffler was removed and replaced with ceramic-coated straight through exhaust pipes.
