Ford is opening its vault for a rare treat: a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition, Production No. 3, is going to cross the auction block at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Fall event in October 2025. This is the first time Ford has released such a gem from its Heritage Collection, a carefully curated fleet of almost 500 spectacular vehicles.
This GT is a true masterpiece finished in head-turning Gulf livery colors: Epic Orange and Heritage Blue, celebrating Ford’s victorious legacy at the legendary Le Mans endurance race. Under the hood roars a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 pumping out 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission for that pure, unfiltered driving experience.
Only 343 Heritage Editions were produced, and this specific car was owned and used exclusively by Ford during various media and marketing campaigns. Accompanying the sale is a “Build Book” documenting every detail from assembly, and a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its legitimacy.
The auction promises fierce bidding with estimated values between eight hundred thousand to one million dollars, and all proceeds will go straight back into maintaining and restoring Ford’s sprawling Heritage Fleet. The collection spans vehicles in locations across the US, UK, Germany, and Australia and includes iconic vehicles such as the original sixth-generation Bronco prototype and the world’s only V-10-powered Mustang.
For enthusiasts and collectors, this is a rare chance to own a significant piece of Ford history while supporting preservation efforts for other classic vehicles in the Blue Oval’s precious collection.
The auction runs October 15 to 18 at WestWorld of Scottsdale, offering car lovers a front-row seat to one of the most prestigious collector car sales of 2025.
