2005 Ford GT (Speed Yellow)

Ford's GT40 program conquered Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966 and dominated through 1969 — four straight wins matching Bentley's record from 1927–1930. It was only natural that Ford would honor that legacy with a modern, updated version. Built using space-age materials and construction techniques across five stages — initial assembly by Mayflower Vehicle Systems in Norwalk, Ohio; paint by Saleen Special Vehicles in Troy, Michigan; engine assembly at Ford's Romeo, Michigan plant; and final finishing at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant — the Ford GT was the last vehicle project completed at Wixom.

Only 4,038 examples were produced in all. An undeniable icon of speed with modern-day class and usability, this 2005 Ford GT is the 59th of just 96 examples finished in the rare color of Speed Yellow built for the 2005 model year. Presented in nearly new condition, it showed just 2,804 miles from new when the Grand Rapids Classics Auto Museum took ownership in the fall of 2023.

Accompanied by a clean CARFAX® showing just three owners, all four factory options are present: lightweight BBS forged aluminum wheels, red-painted brake calipers, full-length racing stripes, and a McIntosh sound system. The interior is trimmed in full leather with carbon fiber seats inlaid with ebony leather, air-conditioning, tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel, and electric power windows. 3 seconds, backed by a six-speed Ricardo manual transmission and helical limited-slip differential.
