The latest generation of the Ford GT is a breathtaking no-holds-barred supercar sometimes worth seven figures or more. One Heritage Edition up for sale now already has a bid just above $1.1 million. Maybe this low-mileage 2006 Ford GT on sale at Bring a Trailer is the “bargain” way into the Heritage Edition club.
This generation of the Ford GT is a special car all by itself. It came out at a time when it had no direct American competitor and it served as the perfect bridge between the GT40 racecars of the 1960s and the current generation of the GT. This Heritage Edition car is one of just 383 ever made and it has just 580 miles on the odometer.
That low mileage aids it in its nearly perfect presentation. There are very likely lower mileage examples out there but they can’t look much better than this one. Every detail is shining under the spotlight in the photos attached to the listing.

The exterior features a Gulf-inspired blue and orange livery with Ford GT graphics and a stripe down the middle. The HID headlights, front splitter, rear diffuser, and Brembo brakes look as though they could’ve just come off of the production floor. The iconic BBS wheels appear to be actually spotless.
In the cabin, the theme is much of the same. The black and silver upholstery is factory fresh. The switchgear, manual transmission shifter, and gauge cluster are without blemish. Under the hood and front clip we find the same condition.
The supercharged 5.4-liter V8 in the rear is factory-rated at 550 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. It sends that power to the rear wheels only through a Ricardo six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It’s a complete package waiting for a driver who will actually use it.
Here’s a bit of a special kicker. The seller of this classic low-mileage GT is also selling his 2019 Ford GT ’68 Heritage Edition. So somebody could end up snatching up both to keep them as a matching pair. We hope they get to stick together as they’re clearly a perfect duo.
