Equipment
Fords road test GT with 5,388 miles, featured in some 16 magazine articles, accompanied by brochures signed by the writers who tested it and a complete package with show history and build sheets. The third GT built (Ford owns the first and former Ford director Michael Dingman the second). All proceeds to Carroll Shelbys Childrens Foundation.
Market commentary
No Reserve. Saturday Feature Car between 719.1 and 720. It was showtime when this Ford GT rolled onto the West Palm Beach auction block with Carroll Shelby inside. They included a Ford GT shirt from the Ford team, and then they threw in Carroll Shelbys black hat. The bidding finally settled down to two bidders on the phone with Ron Pratte taking it in the end from Bruce McCaw. A theatrical production, not an auction market transaction.
