Fellow Ford GT owners! I'm extremely pleased to announce the 3 cars Ford and SVT are bringing to auction off at Ford GT Rally 3!

Ready to say wow?

"CP1":

VIN: 1FAFP90SX4Y400004

  • Color: Black - no racing stripe, silver side stripe
  • Odometer: Unknown
  • J1,J2,J3 were 4Y400001, 2, and 3 respectively - this is the first engineering unit after the centennial cars
  • First CP (Confirmation Prototype) to be built which means it was the first fully representative prototype with full powertrain, body, and interior in the program - the "first full test vehicle"
  • The emission program was the critical path for the entire program - which is why it was the first one built
  • Used exclusively for Emissions Certification Testing

* Has considerable content that never made it to production (not a complete list):

  • Aluminum splitter
  • Matte vinyl interior
  • Chrome shift knob
  • Birdirectional (exposed weave) carbon clamshell inner panel
  • Rockford Fosgate stereo
  • Blue Multimatic Dampers
  • Black engine valve covers
  • Black supercharger
  • Ford GT logo filler cap
  • Aluminum Roof Panel
  • Early prototype silver grommet seats

* Still has emission lab test tail pipes on it and emissions feedgas panel on rocker
* Emissions Lab Engine Hour Meter Installed: 180 hours (as of 8/21/2008)

You read that right folks. This was the FIRST Ford GT built after the three Centennial cars. It's a 4Y4 car. That means you could own a 2004 Ford GT! Wow!

"PB2-1"

VIN: 1FAFP90SX5Y400045

  • Color: Blue with White Stripes
  • Odometer: 47,524 (as of 8/21/2008)
  • Options: Forged BBS Wheels, McIntosh Stereo, Red Calipers
  • First car in the PB2 pre production build (last pre production build before production)
  • Vehicle's owner was Manufacturing and was used for mileage accumulation, manufacturing, and electrical prove-out
  • After the vehicle successfully completed it's testing it was transferred to Product Development (SVT)
  • For the brief amount of time that a MkII follow on program was in the planning stages, it was used as the program vehicle
  • The vehicle still has a prototype small pulley for increased supercharger boost (this pulley eventually became the Ford Racing Pulley)
  • The vehicle still has exhaust manifold heat shields printed with "Mark II" visible when the clamshell is opened
  • Vehicle has "Ford GT" logo fuel filler cap
As previously mentioned, this is the vehicle they initially used while planning the development of a Ford GT Mark II!

and:


"PB1-1" - The Nardo Car

* VIN: 1FAFP90S25Y400037

  • Color: Yellow with Black Stripes
  • Odometer: 37,886 (as of 8/21/2008)
  • Options: Forged BBS Wheels, McIntosh Stereo, Red Calipers
  • First vehicle in the PB1 pre production build
  • 1 of 2 vehicles (the other being CP15) to be taken to Europe for testing
  • First car to certify top speed at 209.1 mph at Nardo, Italy
  • Roll Cage
  • Dual 5 point Sparco Racing Harnesses
  • Development front cooling aerofoils
  • First prototype vehicle to be driven by journalist in Europe (Cover of Top Gear July 2004)
  • Vehicle used to support numerous track events
  • Has SVT developed track alignment
  • Vehicle used to develop Hoosier R6 track tire
  • Roll Cage
  • Dual 5 point Sparco Racing Harnesses
  • Development front cooling aerofoils
  • A/C Condenser removed for optimal cooling
What else can you say? This vehicle was the first vehicle to certify the Ford GT's legendary 205 mph top speed and was featured on the cover of Top Gear. How amazing would it be to watch the video of the car going 209 mph at Nardo, and then see it in your garage?

What a phenomenal opportunity this is from the boys at SVT. The cars will be sold on a reserve set by SVT with proceeds above reserve to the Loma Linda Veterans Hospital Charity. With Amy Assiter opening the auction by singing the National Anthem, this is something you will not forget, she is amazing, what a voice and signs from her heart! If you are not aware Amy Assiter is from Barrett Jackson Auctions; she is the other half of the auction team, which her husband Spanky Assiter heads up, for the Barrett Jackson auctions. The Veterans are very close to Amy's heart as she has a brother that has served in Iraq for two tours, re-deploying to Iraq again next April.

Given the extremely desirable nature of these vehicles, we will be accepting a limited number of phone bidders. Please contact me for more information at webmaster@fordgtforum.com.

Thanks Mark!
And thanks for taking our car to Vmax on that historic day in Italy.

You Rally 3 attendees should really talk to Mark about the Nardo testing. He has some great stories....

Indy,

You live in my time zone -- can I interest you in a fractional ownership deal on the Nardo car? We can keep it at my place..... :biggrin
