Documentation is what separates one Ford GT from another, and this one may be among the best documented anywhere. The seller, Cars & Bids founder Doug DeMuro, bought it in September 2018 from fellow journalist Karl Brauer, who ordered it new in 2005 and kept everything Ford supplied. Bidding stands at $500,000 with nine days remaining at no reserve.2005 Ford GTCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowThe 2005 Ford GT market has climbed sharply in 2026. Conceptcarz records a 2026 median sale of $563,500 across 10 sales, ranging from $440,000 to $671,000, while Hagerty logs recent results of $615,500, $692,500, $697,500, and $722,500 in August 2026. Ford built 4,038 GTs across 2005 and 2006.Mileage pulls this one below the top results, and provenance pushes it back up. At 45,800 miles it has covered far more than the typical collector car, and the tune and exhaust are departures from stock, but the ownership history and documentation are unusual. Fair value lands between $520,000 and $640,000, with $575,000 most likely. No reserve means it sells.2005 Ford GTCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe documentation is the headline. Alongside the owner's manual and certificate of authenticity, the sale includes the factory build book recording every quality check, the original order form, the order guide, two window stickers, Ford press releases, brochures, a dealer handbook, original pre-delivery tags, and the first owner's logbook of every fuel stop from 2005 to 2018. Two keys accompany the car.2005 Ford GTCars & BidsThe modifications are reversible. An SCT tune, a smaller supercharger pulley, a Ford Racing exhaust, a Ford Racing short shifter, and an Alpine head unit are fitted, and the factory exhaust, head unit, and shift linkage are included. The seller replaced the factory billet A-arms after their bushings cracked and includes the originals, and he notes the tune must be removed temporarily to pass California smog.2005 Ford GTCars & BidsService has been steady, and wear is honest. Records show coolant, brake, and clutch fluid and tires in August 2025, a transmission service and front rotors in November 2023, and engine mounts, a crank sensor, and rear tie rods in December 2022, with a fuel gauge and battery in late 2025. Disclosed flaws include marks in the 2018 paint protection film, front-end chips, wheel clearcoat failure, and seat wear. A pre-purchase inspection should cover the supercharger.2005 Ford GTCars & BidsThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeFordModelGTYear2005Mileage45,800 milesEngineSupercharged 5.4-liter V8 with SCT tune and smaller pulleyPower550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft in stock form, tuned output not specifiedTransmissionSix-speed manualDrive typeRear wheel driveExterior colorMidnight Blue Metallic with painted stripesInterior colorEbonyCurrent bid$500,000 with nine days remaining, offered at no reserveInterested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the Ford GT uniqueFord built the GT to revive its rivalry with Ferrari. Launched for 2005 and inspired by the Le Mans-winning GT40, it paired a heritage design with a mid-mounted supercharged V8, a six-speed manual, and a driver-focused cabin, and Ford built 4,038 across two model years before retiring the name until 2017.2005 Ford GTCars & BidsIt has become one of the most collectible modern American cars. The combination of a manual gearbox, a supercharged V8, and limited production has driven values far beyond the original sticker, with strong examples now selling well into six figures. Provenance and documentation matter in that market, which is why a car with this level of history stands out.My takeAt $500,000 with 22 bids and nine days to run at no reserve, my call is $575,000, with $640,000 reachable if the ownership history and documentation pull two serious collectors. What makes it special is the paperwork, since a factory build book, the original order form, two window stickers, and a fuel log spanning 13 years give this GT a history few others can match. What tempers it is mileage and modification, because 45,800 miles and a tuned engine place it below the low-mileage, stock cars setting records. Confirm the supercharger health, then bid.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
