Few modern supercars command the reverence of the Ford GT, and a 559-mile 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition now crossing the block at Bring a Trailer is about as tempting as they come. Finished in Heritage Blue and Epic Orange, this 2006 Ford GT is one of just 343 Heritage Editions built, and its tiny odometer reading makes it a true time capsule. With the Bring a Trailer auction closing on Tuesday, October 27, collectors have a rare chance to chase one of the most celebrated American supercars of the 2000s.
Gulf Livery Done Right
The Heritage Edition wears the unmistakable colors of the GT40 racers that won Le Mans in the 1960s, and this car carries them beautifully. Painted Gulf-style stripes run over the Heritage Blue body, and the listing notes Ford GT graphics, HID headlights, fog lights, a vented hood, a front splitter, a rear diffuser, and a dual center-exit exhaust. Underneath, the GT’s extruded-aluminum space frame and aluminum body panels remain the foundation of its character.
Factory-optional BBS forged aluminum wheels, measuring 18 inches in front and 19 inches in back, fill the arches and frame black-painted Brembo four-piston monoblock calipers over cross-drilled, ventilated rotors. According to the Bring a Trailer listing, the brake system was flushed in 2026, a small detail that shows how much care has gone into preparing this Ford GT for its next caretaker.
A Cockpit Straight Out of 1966
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Ebony leather and fitted with manually adjusted Sparco-designed seats featuring carbon-fiber shells, GT40-style ventilation grommets, and harness slots. An aluminum center console, rotary climate controls, and rubber mats over aluminum floor panels keep the mood purposeful, while the listing confirms air conditioning, remote keyless entry, a CD stereo, and push-button ignition. The A/C was recharged in 2026.
Ahead of the leather-wrapped steering wheel sits a GT40-inspired gauge array, with a central tachometer redlined at 6,500 rpm and an offset 220-mph speedometer. Toggle switches sit beneath additional gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, boost, and fuel level. As the ad points out, the digital odometer reads just 559 miles, so everything you see and touch still feels new.
Supercharged V8 Power
Behind the seats, the mid-mounted 5.4-liter DOHC V8 pairs an aluminum block, heads, and pistons with a Lysholm screw-type supercharger, dry-sump lubrication, and a water-to-air intercooler. Factory output was 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, delivered to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential. The Bring a Trailer listing adds that Discovery Automotive of Placerville, California, changed the oil and coolant and replaced the power steering and oil pump belts in 2026.
Documented and Ready for Its Next Chapter
Roughly $20,000 in service work was carried out in 2026, including fresh fluids, A/C service, new lower control arms, rear toe link boots, and replacement hood and clamshell struts. The sale includes the window sticker showing an original MSRP of $169,845, the owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, two keys, a battery tender, a clean Carfax report, and an Oregon title. With bidding already past $1.2 million, this Heritage Edition Ford GT is clearly turning heads, and it is easy to see why.
