2006 Ford GT 1st Generation

This 2006 Ford GT is the final example of 343 Heritage Edition cars produced and was sold new at Courtesy Ford Lincoln Sales in London, Ontario, Canada. It resided in Vancouver, British Columbia until the selling dealer’s acquisition in February 2020. The car is finished in Heritage Blue and Epic Orange over an Ebony leather interior, and power is provided by a supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential. Equipment includes optional staggered BBS wheels, gray-painted Brembo brake calipers, drilled and ventilated rotors, white roundels with #3 livery, and an aftermarket Clarion stereo. Recent maintenance included new tires and a replacement rear shock absorber. Now showing 5,400 miles, this Heritage Edition GT is offered by the selling dealer in Victoria, British Columbia, with a window sticker, an owner’s manual, service records, an air compressor, a fitted car cover and duffel bag, a clean Carfax report, and transferable British Columbia registration. The GT took styling inspiration from the GT40 race cars of the 1960s and features an extruded aluminum space frame and aluminum body panels that were shaped using a superplastic forming process. 343 examples were equipped with the Heritage Edition package seen on this example, which was a $16k option that included a Heritage Blue and Epic Orange Gulf Oil-inspired livery in tribute to that worn by the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40 race car. White door and hood roundels are adorned with the number “3”, and the front bumper was repainted in July 2008 at Burrard Autostrasse Collision Ltd. in Vancouver, British Columbia. Optional BBS forged alloy wheels measure 18” on the front and 19” out back and are mounted with 265/45 and 345/35 Bridgestone Potenza tires that were installed in March 2020. Additional service in March 2020 included replacing the right rear shock absorber and repairs to the right front wheel. Drilled and ventilated brake rotors are paired with optional gray Brembo calipers, and the factory suspension features double wishbones at each corner. The cabin is trimmed in Ebony leather and features an extruded aluminum center console, aluminum vents and accents, a polished aluminum shift knob, and Sparco-designed bucket seats with GT40-inspired black ventilation grommets and carbon fiber frames. Amenities include remote keyless entry, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, aluminum pedals, an aftermarket Clarion CD stereo with Bluetooth compatibility, and a tilting and telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel. The GT40-inspired instrument cluster houses a central 8k-rpm tachometer, a 220-mph speedometer, and gauges for engine temperature, oil pressure, voltage, boost pressure, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 5,400 miles, approximately 15 of which were added by the selling dealer. The mid-mounted 5.4-liter DOHC V8 features an aluminum block, dry-sump lubrication, and a Lysholm screw-type supercharger for factory ratings of 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Maintenance performed at Brown Bros. Ford in Vancouver in March 2018 at 5k miles included a new fuel filter, a replacement oil pump belt, and a replacement battery. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a factory helical limited-slip differential. Additional chassis and underside photos are provided in the gallery. The window sticker lists factory colors, options, and equipment, as well as a total retail price of $208,995. The Carfax report shows registration history in Vancouver, British Columbia, since April 2007, and lists no accidents or other damage.
