The Ford GT emerged from a "retro futuristic" renaissance that swept through the automotive world in the early 2000s, with manufacturers drawing inspiration from the most recognizable designs in their history. Unveiled as a concept at the 2002 North American International Auto Show, the new GT paid homage to Ford's legendary GT40 racers that triumphed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive times from 1966 to 1969. By late 2004, Ford had transformed the concept into a production reality, instantaneously cementing its status as a rare and coveted modern classic.

At the heart of the Ford GT rested a supercharged, 32-valve V8 engine producing 550 horsepower. This powerplant was cradled in a sophisticated chassis constructed of hydroformed aluminum and composite materials, complemented by advanced unequal-length aluminum control arms and Brembo brakes at all four corners. Automotive journalists lauded the GT, often drawing favorable comparisons to its Italian and German rivals, with Car and Driver writing in their comparison test of the GT, Porsche 911 GT3, and Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, "It wasn't even a contest." Ford only offered four options for the GT: racing stripes, forged BBS wheels, painted brake calipers, and a premium McIntosh sound system. GTs specified with all four options stand at the pinnacle of model's collectability.

This four-option Ford GT hails from the second and final year of production, ordered by a former Ford Executive Vice President – the car's sole caretaker since new. The Ford executive took delivery of the Tungsten Grey over Ebony GT via Jack Demmer Ford in Wayne, Michigan, its window sticker quoting all four optional extras at an additional $10,350 over MSRP. The accompanying CARFAX Vehicle History Report confirms that the car has remained registered in Michigan to its original owner since new.

With just 701 original miles at the time of cataloging, this investment-grade Ford GT is accompanied by a Deluxe Marti Report, its original window sticker, owner's manuals, and car cover. In the span of nearly two decades since its debut, the automotive world has witnessed a revolution in technology and a parade of new supercars. Yet, the Ford GT's enduring appeal stems from its breathtaking heritage-inspired aesthetics that continue to turn heads and its unadulterated, analog driving experience. For discerning collectors, this extremely low mileage, single-owner, four-option GT represents an opportunity not to be overlooked.
