The first-gen Ford GT is already a legend – part GT40 throwback, part supercharged V8 monster, and all-American hero with a six-speed manual. But this 2005 car cranks the collectibility up to eleven: just 166 miles, every factory option ticked, and so clean you could eat off it. Right now, it’s up for grabs on Bring a Trailer, and the bidding war is already at $510,000 with time still on the clock.

What It’s Worth Right Now
First-gen Ford GTs are still absolute hot property. Classic.com pegs the market benchmark at $476,485 for a base 2005-2006 car, but the average sale price is a beefy $557,014. Recent sales have bounced between $380,000 and $880,000, with the latest one hammering down at $690,000.
No wonder this auction is turning heads. The $510,000 bid has already blown past the market benchmark, but it’s still trailing the average sale price – and it’s nowhere near the sky-high asks for the lowest-mileage cars out there.
A quick scan of today’s listings shows the price gap is wild. GTs with 7,000 to 12,000 miles are going for $569,500 to $779,996, but if you want one with barely any miles – think double digits or less than 100 – you’ll need to cough up anywhere from $979,995 to almost $1.5 million. This 166-mile, four-option car is right up there with the big dogs.
Condition and Details
This GT rocks Mark IV Red paint over Ebony leather and comes loaded with every factory option: white racing stripes, lightweight forged BBS wheels, red Brembo calipers, a McIntosh stereo, and Sparco carbon-shell buckets. Under the rear clamshell, you’ve got a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 hooked up to a Ricardo six-speed manual and a helical limited-slip diff.
According to the listing, the car was originally sold through Legacy Ford in McDonough, Georgia, before spending time in Missouri and California. The selling dealer acquired it in 2020, and it comes with the owner’s manual, battery tender, tire inflation kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Missouri title.
With just 166 miles showing, this is one of the lowest-mileage first-gen GTs you’ll find anywhere. The Carfax is squeaky clean – no accidents, no damage – though it hasn’t had a California emissions test yet.

What Makes the Ford GT Unique
The 2005 Ford GT is more than just a GT40 tribute act. Sure, it nods to the Le Mans legend, but this thing is its own beast: aluminum bodywork over an aluminum space frame, a mid-mounted supercharged V8, and a real-deal six-speed manual. The end result? A supercar that nails both modern muscle and old-school cool.
This car ticks all the collector boxes: one of just 766 Mark IV Red GTs built for 2005, still rocking its original four-option spec, and barely driven – so it’s basically been in a time capsule for nearly twenty years.
Final Thoughts
You almost never see Ford GTs with miles this low pop up for sale. This one has everything buyers drool over: original spec, all the factory goodies, a spotless history, and mileage so low it’s almost suspicious. No wonder the bidding has already smashed past half a million – and the auction isn’t even over yet.
The market keeps proving it: pristine first-gen GTs are still king when it comes to modern American collectibles. Whether this one ends up selling for the current bid, the average, or even more, it’s just more proof that the Ford GT is still a heavyweight champ in the collector world.
