What happens when you combine American determination, racing heritage, and a burning desire to defeat Ferrari? You get the car that changed history — the Ford GT40 Mark II, winner of Le Mans in 1966. Nearly four decades later, Ford revived that legend for its centennial celebration, creating the 2005 Ford GT — a stunning, road-ready homage to the car that conquered Europe.

And now, you can own it.

Inside, it’s pure American craftsmanship—leather trim, cruise control, air conditioning, and an unmistakable analog feel. Outside, it’s a sculpture in motion, built to celebrate Ford’s 100th anniversary by recapturing the soul of its Le Mans-winning forefather.

This isn’t a museum piece—it’s a true driver’s car, preserved in climate-controlled storage and ready to deliver the raw, mechanical thrill that modern supercars can’t replicate.

Even better, this giveaway supports veterans and children’s charities, and the winner won’t have to worry about taxes—organizers will cover an estimated $117,000 in federal prize taxes. Or, if you prefer, you can choose to take home $300,000 in cash (subject to taxes).

For a limited time, Modern Car Collector readers get bonus entries, making this your best shot at owning a six-figure icon born from racing legend.
