Busting my ass here trying to find a fuel filter too and no luck so far. Does anybody know if there is a aftermarket solution to replace the OE filter? If not when will Ford Motorcraft make these available again? Does anybody know if a new batch is being made and if so when will they be available? This is a very simple high wear part that we all need...

It is a sin Ford won't continue to make available parts for the Ford GT, especially service items like filters and belts.
Ford's not the only one. I had to replace a fuel pump in my 2004 Ram pickup. They managed to break a vacuum line connector on the tank which gave me slow evap leak check engines [Note: Emissions related fault codes fail testing]. Dodge had not a single fuel tank anywhere. My dealer and I finally located a servicible one in a junk yard. Had they not been able to find one I would have been stuck with a truck I couldn't drive because I couldn't pass emissions because they can't fix it. It didn't get that far and I'm guessing the state might have an exception process, but why are dealers allowed to discontinue parts related to emissions???
Can you still get 05/06 catalytic converters from Ford???

Last I checked, yes.... albeit at almost $10K per side.

I did find them available from a Ford dealer/distributor and they are indeed $100. Crazy. They must be compatible with other Ford filters…

really crazy that they discontinued so many parts for such a unique, high line, and expensive car. (and at one time "pace car for an entire company" Had no idea that this would every happen when I purchased mine. Used to Porsche parts I guess, can still get parts for 1948 models!

Holy Moly. It is a good thing I kept mine. I might have to trade them for a fuel filter
I have a cleanable filter in the works. Billet aluminum, stainless filter, plug and play and oem size.
