A like-new 2005 Ford GT, widely celebrated as a modern homage to America’s Le Mans legacy, is the centerpiece of the latest Dream Giveaway, a national charity raffle aimed at supporting veterans and children’s causes.
Built to commemorate Ford’s centennial and the iconic GT40’s legendary 1966 victory over Ferrari at Le Mans, the 2005 Ford GT is a modern classic in its own right. This particular example, now available as the grand prize, has only 3,000 miles on the odometer and includes every factory option available at the time of production.
Painted in a striking red with white racing stripes, the vehicle comes equipped with BBS lightweight forged aluminum wheels, a McIntosh premium audio system, and red-painted brake calipers. Under the hood is a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 generating 550 horsepower—capable of launching the car from 0 to 60 mph in just over three seconds.
The 2005 GT was built by a specialized team at Ford’s now-closed Wixom Assembly Plant in Michigan, hand-assembled by elite UAW technicians. While it mirrors the look of the original GT40 Mark II that beat Ferrari on the global stage, it incorporates modern conveniences like power accessories, leather-trimmed seating, and safety features such as airbags and ABS.
The giveaway not only gives enthusiasts a chance to own a highly collectible supercar, but also helps fund nonprofit organizations focused on veteran welfare and children’s health initiatives. Donations made toward the campaign translate into automatic entries, with Motor City Classic readers receiving double the chances to win.
The grand-prize winner will also have federal taxes covered by the organization—or may opt for a $300,000 cash alternative.
With just 4,038 units produced globally and values continuing to rise, this Ford GT represents a rare opportunity to claim a true piece of American automotive history—while making a difference for two critical causes.
