Someone is going to win an almost unbelievably fresh 2006 Ford GT—or take home $400,000 in cash. We would love nothing more than for that someone to be a reader of The Auto Wire. Better yet, enter through our special link and you’ll receive more entries, giving you an even stronger reason to get in before time runs out.
A 435-Mile Ford GT Time Capsule
This is not simply a chance at a Ford GT. It is a chance at a one-owner, investment-grade example showing only 435 miles from new. The car has been meticulously preserved in showroom condition, right down to protective films and factory stickers that remain in place.
Its Tungsten Grey Clearcoat Metallic finish is especially desirable. Ford produced only 541 examples in the color for 2006, and this car adds the optional painted silver stripes and Ford GT graphics over an Ebony leather cabin. If you have ever dreamed about opening the garage door to one of America’s most important modern supercars, this is the moment to enter.
Behind the cockpit sits the reason the GT became an instant icon: a supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 producing 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox sends that power through a helical limited-slip differential. Forged BBS aluminum wheels, red Brembo brake calipers, HID headlights and the optional McIntosh stereo complete the specification.
A Modern Legend With Le Mans in Its Blood
The Ford GT was created as a 21st-century salute to the GT40s that humbled Ferrari and won Le Mans four years in a row during the 1960s. Its low roofline, mid-engine proportions and dramatic doors deliver the theater, while an extruded-aluminum space frame, roll-bonded floors and aluminum body panels give it the serious engineering to match.
It is the kind of car that stops a cars-and-coffee crowd before the engine even fires. And because this example has traveled fewer miles than many people drive in a week, it offers a level of preservation that is extraordinarily difficult to find. Use our link to claim the extra reader entries and put your name in the running.
Take the Ford GT—or Choose $400,000 Cash
The grand-prize winner gets the decision of a lifetime: take the 2006 Ford GT or select the $400,000 cash option. Choose the car and the prize also includes $25,000 to help with expenses. Either way, this is a prize that can change a life.
Entering also supports the Shelby American Collection in Boulder, Colorado, a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Cobras, Shelby Mustangs, Ford GT40s and the people who transformed American racing history.
There is extra urgency right now: enter by July 21, 2026 and you will also be in the running for a flash prize of 200 bonus entries. The main sweepstakes closes July 23, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. MDT, with the drawing scheduled for August 1. Do not wait until the Ford GT is sitting in somebody else’s garage.
