2006 GT

2006 Ford GT

Along with the addition of a Tungsten Grey paint option (replacing silver), the 2006 Ford GT also got another color choice, this time intended to commemorate Ford’s historic racing victories in 1968 and ’69. This second limited-edition paint scheme featured a Heritage Blue with Epic Orange-striped exterior and four white roundels allowing customers to apply the number of their choice, a famous livery that harkens back to the JW Automotive/American Gulf Oil-sponsored Le Mans-winning GT-40 racer.
