#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
First running Ford GT prototype, fitted with test connections for emissions testing and equipped with Mustang airbags and a Windstar steering column as well as a carbon fiber rear clamshell. A few of the interior details are also different, and the top speed is limited to 5 mph. There are numerous long paint cracks on the front. Lots of chips at the front of the doors and some more around the scoop openings. Interior looks new. A show and display only prototype.
Market commentary
The value of this car is a balance between historical significance and the fact that it's just eye candy for the garage because you can never register it to enjoy on the open road. The Mohegan Sun bidders gave more recognition to historical significance and bid this car to about twice what a regular production GT would bring. If the high bid was taken it would have been the second highest sale of the auction behind the silver L88 Corvette, but the consignor is holding out for even bigger money.
