Here is your chance to win a Ford GT that most collectors only ever see behind velvet ropes. The Shelby American Collection in Boulder, Colorado, is giving away a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition in the iconic Gulf Oil livery, or $750,000 cash. And Modern Car Collector readers get a head start: enter through our exclusive MCC link and you’ll receive about 25% more entries on every donation level.
Enter by October 18 for a Shot at the Le Mans Print
Time matters right now. Everyone who enters to win the Ford GT by October 18 is also in the running for a framed print by artist Yuriy Shevchuk. It captures the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans, when Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver drove the #6 Ford GT40 to victory, the same race this Heritage Edition was built to honor. It’s the moment that inspired the car, ready to hang on your garage wall.
Win a Ford GT: One of Only 343 Heritage Editions
Ford built the Heritage Edition only in 2006, and just 343 left the line. This example has barely been driven, with just over 1,200 miles since new, and wears the light blue and orange paint and #6 roundels of the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40s. It’s an investment-grade American icon, and your MCC bonus entries improve your odds of parking it in your own garage.
550 Supercharged Horsepower Waiting for the Winner
If you win a Ford GT like this one, here is what you get. Behind the seats sits a mid-mounted, supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8 making 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, with a Lysholm screw-type supercharger and dry-sump lubrication. It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and tops out at 205 mph. Ready to feel that for yourself? Claim your extra entries here.
Inside, the driver who gets to win a Ford GT Heritage Edition finds a true six-speed manual with a Ricardo transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential, plus GT40-style analog gauges. This car was factory optioned with forged aluminum BBS wheels, red brake calipers and a McIntosh stereo, along with Brembo brakes and air conditioning. Every detail is worth a closer look on the official sweepstakes page.
From the HID headlights and front splitter to the aggressive rear diffuser and dual center-exit exhaust, it looks every bit the Le Mans legend. Under the aluminum body is an extruded-aluminum space frame that made the original Ford GT a modern classic. Enter now with the MCC promo and picture this view in your rearview mirror.
