Details

Ford Motor Company marked its 100-year anniversary in 2003. In celebration of Ford's 100 years, and to honor the 40-year anniversary of the GT40's 1-2-3 finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, as well as its consecutive wins from 1966-69, the Ford GT was born. Looking at the left front headlight cluster, the lights read '100' in recognition of the 100-year anniversary. The GT40 (so-named because of its 40' height) is an iconic car in American automotive and racing history. Carroll Shelby's influence and input with the GT40 put an end to Ferrari's 1960s dominance of Le Mans racing in 1966. This GT is among the last 20 of the 2006 Limited Edition Heritage Livery GTs built; this is #324 of the 343 produced. With 77 actual miles, it comes with all four available options offered: McIntosh stereo, BBS forged-aluminum lightweight wheels, Gun Metal Gray brake calipers and the $13,500 Blue/Orange Heritage paint option. This car was built to pay homage to the Legendary GT40, and it does exactly that. The distinctive Heritage GT is a dramatic representation of John Wyer's Gulf livery GT40 car that celebrated consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans First-Place finishes in 1968 and 1969. The mid-engined GT features a 5.4-liter, hand-built, all-aluminum, Eaton-supercharged engine, fueled by a multi-port fuel-injection system. An electronic ignition with push-button start fires up the engine, which breathes through a stainless-steel dual exhaust system and is capable of producing 550bhp. The Ricardo 6-speed manual transmission offers a smooth engagement of all gears. Air conditioning and the McIntosh Audiophile sound system contribute to interior comfort. Stopping power is provided by Brembo vented disc brakes with 4-piston calipers, in an anti-lock braking system. Registering a top speed of over 200 mph and a zero to 60 time of 3.3 seconds, this is a True American Supercar.
