While a number of current-generation Ford GT models have been auctioned off in recent months, the first-generation model still has a unique appeal to it that not even the new car can match.
The GT you’re looking at is a 2006 model bound for Gooding & Company’s May auction. While no pre-auction estimate has been given for the car, it will no doubt be considerably more affordable than buying a current GT.

The listing notes that the car has been driven under 1,400 miles which is nothing considering its age. Making it all the more desirable is the gorgeous gloss black paint that lacks the racing stripes of so many other GTs and ensuring this one stands out from the crowd. It also rocks silver-finished wheels and red brake calipers.
As for the interior, it is largely dominated by black leather across the steering wheel, dashboard, seats, and door panels, although there are some silver accents throughout, most notably across the transmission tunnel. As you would expect given the car’s low-mileage, the interior looks pretty much brand new and has clearly been well cared for.
The current GT is more powerful and faster than the first-generation model but that doesn’t mean one like this isn’t a superb performer. In fact, its 5.4-liter supercharged V8 muscles out 550 hp at 6,500 rpm and 500 lb-ft (678 Nm) of torque at 4,500 rpm, serious figures even to this day. Coupled to the roaring V8 is a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels.
