This first-generation Ford GT, owned by a well-known figure, is already in high demand. Compared to the cutting-edge 2020s variant, this Ford GT is more traditional, with a supercharged V-8 and a manual transmission. This Heritage Edition vehicle has an excellent livery and very low mileage. The value of an automobile might vary dramatically depending on which celebrity owns it. Placing a supercharged V8 Ford GT on an ice rink is bound to steal the spotlight, easily outshining the Zamboni’s usual post-second-period moment. The chosen photo location underscores that this 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition once belonged to hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, also known as the “Great One.” This vehicle was later sold on Bring a Trailer and is now part of Hearst Autos’ collection, the same group behind Invoice-Pricing. This vintage Ford GT looks great in Gulf-racing orange over pale blue, paying respect to the GT40s that competed and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Furthermore, the “99” racing decals plainly reference Gretzky’s well-worn jersey number. This first-generation Ford GT offers a more intimate glimpse into what it’s like to drive a GT40 despite the second-generation vehicle being a mechanical marvel. As a result, values have recently risen, so it’s best to choose one with an interesting history and eye-catching colors.The fact that this vehicle has only 1200 kilometers on the odometer is very useful. The GT’s mid-mounted 5.4-liter V-8 supercharged engine produces 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, which remains decent. When you hit the gas, those dual exhausts scream like a hometown crowd applauding a goal that wins overtime. This vintage rock ’em sock ’em performance is completed with a limited-slip differential out back and a six-speed manual transmission. In terms of performance, the GT performs similarly to his old teammate and enforcer, Dave Semenko, despite Gretzky’s rise to prominence as a playmaker and goal scorer. The 2006 Ford GT surpassed a Ferrari 430 Challenge Stradale and a Porsche 911 GT3 with a 3.3-second 0-to-60-mph time, according to Invoice-Pricing’s testing when it was new. It had fade-free brakes, pulled nearly 1.0 g on the skidpad, and surpassed the skates in the European competition. It is a bruiser. But not for the driver. The GT features a CD player and air conditioning. There is no reason for the odometer to show 1,200 kilometers despite the ride being extremely firm barely. According to the well-known phrase from number 99, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.” Thus, enter and place your offer. The Ford GT should not be kept on ice. June 6 marks the end of the auction.
