Extensive history

The 2005 Ford GT isn’t just a car—it’s a statement. A fire-breathing, rubber-burning tribute to the legendary GT40 that conquered Le Mans not once, not twice, but four times in a row. Built to celebrate Ford’s 100th anniversary, it was a bold move during a time when the company was facing some serious headwinds. But Ford, being Ford, decided that the best way to remind the world of its greatness was to unleash a street-legal rocket that looked like it had just rolled off the starting grid at Circuit de la Sarthe. And boy, did they succeed.

From the moment it hit the streets in 2005, the Ford GT turned heads, dropped jaws, and left a trail of wide-eyed onlookers in its wake. With its iconic shape, menacing stance, and a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that churns out a monstrous 550 horsepower, this machine doesn’t just pay homage to the past—it obliterates it. And let’s be clear: this isn’t some delicate, high-strung supercar that demands constant pampering. This is a real driver’s car. Rugged. Reliable. Ready to eat up the road and ask for seconds.

Now, let’s talk about this particular beast. One of only 100 European specification models ever built, this Ford GT was first registered on October 17, 2005, and delivered new in Cologne, Germany. Finished in breathtaking Speed Yellow with optional black racing stripes and lightweight forged BBS wheels, it was the pride and joy of its first and only owner, Mr. Baumann. And let’s just say, Mr. Baumann knew how to treat a lady. This GT has been pampered, cherished, and meticulously maintained throughout its life. No modifications, no surprises—just pure, unfiltered American muscle in its original, factory-fresh form. The paintwork still gleams as if it just rolled out of the showroom, free from chips, swirls, or blemishes. Inside, the black leather remains supple, the aluminum-laced center console pristine, and those perforated seats? As comfortable as the day they left the factory.

But let’s be honest—you don’t buy a Ford GT just to admire it. You buy it to drive. Press that bright red starter button, and the Roush-built V8 growls to life with a deep, throaty roar that sends shivers down your spine. Grab the aluminum gear shifter, slot it into first, and you’ll feel an instant connection between man and machine. The Ricardo 6-speed manual transmission is an absolute masterpiece, offering precise, satisfying shifts that make every gear change feel like a small victory. And then there’s the acceleration. Blink, and you’ll miss it. 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. Top speed? A blistering 330 km/h. This is not just a fast car—it’s a missile on wheels.

Handling? Forget everything you thought you knew about American muscle cars. This isn’t some straight-line brute that falls apart in the corners. Thanks to its aluminum space frame, double-wishbone suspension, and razor-sharp power-assisted steering, the Ford GT dances through bends with surprising agility. The balance is perfect. The feedback is telepathic. It’s the kind of car that makes you want to take the long way home—every single time. And when it’s time to rein in all that power, the massive 14-inch cross-drilled Brembo brakes up front and 13-inch rotors in the rear will stop you so fast, you might need to check if your soul has caught up with your body.

It’s not just about performance, though. Unlike its Italian rivals, the Ford GT is shockingly reliable. No outrageous maintenance costs, no unexpected tantrums—just pure, mechanical brilliance. Some owners have racked up over 150,000 kilometers without breaking a sweat, proving that this isn’t just a weekend toy—it’s a proper driver’s car.

This GT comes complete with its original German owner’s manual, a FordService booklet with stamped service records, multiple German TÜV inspection documents, a European certificate of conformity, and even a Dekra inspection report from 2012 certifying its impeccable condition.

The 2005 Ford GT is more than just a car—it’s an event. A monument to everything that makes driving exhilarating. It’s raw, it’s emotional, and it’s an absolute masterpiece of engineering. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a true modern classic, a machine that combines old-school charm with cutting-edge performance, then this is your chance. Don’t just admire history—drive it.
