Description

  • Just two owners and less than 5,750 miles from new
  • Equipped with all four factory options: McIntosh stereo, lightweight BBS wheels, grey-painted brake calipers, and painted racing stripes
  • Ford’s 100th anniversary supercar: The pace car for an entire company

Finished in arguably the most iconic of Ford’s available color schemes for the model, proudly wearing Centennial White with Blue stripes, this Ford GT is immediately recognizable as an icon of American performance and a celebration of Ford’s greatest success in motorsport.

Upon its introduction, Ford dubbed the GT ‘The Pace Car for an Entire Company’ in its press releases and marketing material. Looking to take on the supercar establishment, the Ford GT was benchmarked against the likes of Ferrari’s 360 Modena and 911 Turbo. Yet, the GT handedly surpassed its superiors, such as the Challenge Stradale and GT3, both on the track in comparison tests and in the showroom in terms of price.

In the case of this particular car, the original owner fully indulged in the limited range of extras, and this GT is equipped with all four factory options: McIntosh stereo, lightweight BBS wheels, grey-painted brake calipers, and painted racing stripes. According to its original window sticker, this GT was originally delivered to Island Ford of Staten Island, New York. Purchased by an owner in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the car remained there with its original owner until 2022 when it was purchased by the consignor, its second private owner from new.

Well preserved in the consignor’s ownership, the GT has been driven approximately 100 miles in its current ownership, with total mileage showing just under 5,750 miles from new. The car presents exceptionally well throughout and was fitted with a new set of tires during the summer of 2023. A handful of minor modifications have been made to the car, including aftermarket headers, a different throttle body, and the catalytic converters removed. Both the original throttle body and catalytic converters will be included in the sale. Furthermore, it is accompanied by a window sticker, purchase documents, invoices, manuals, three-year service summary, recall information, and a transit permit.

Some two decades after its introduction, the Ford GT remains one of the most iconic cars produced thus far into the 20th century, and is hotly desirable amongst supercar and American muscle enthusiasts alike. This GT wants for nothing and would be an exceptional addition to any collection. To view this car and others currently available, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/ps00/.
