Barrett-Jackson has announced that it will auction the 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition Production No. 3 (Lot #1026) from the Ford Heritage Fleet at its Scottsdale Fall Auction, which takes place October 15-18, 2025, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. This car is described as the earliest example of a 2006 GT Heritage Edition ever released to the public and will be sold with no reserve. The auction will also feature several other notable Ford and Shelby collectible vehicles.
“We look forward to making automotive history with Ford Motor Company during our Scottsdale Fall Auction this October,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Ford is opening its company vault to offer an unbelievable vehicle, the 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition Production No. 3 (Lot #1026). The earliest Heritage Edition GT example ever released to the public, this supercar will cross the block with No Reserve on Super Saturday. The vehicle is part of a sensational docket of Blue Oval and Shelby collectible vehicles that represent some of the best in American automotive performance and design.”
The featured 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition was previously owned by Ford Motor Company and comes finished in Gulf Oil livery, referencing Ford’s endurance racing history. It includes a supercharged V8 engine producing 550 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission. The sale includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a “Build Book” documenting its assembly. Proceeds from the sale are earmarked for restoration and maintenance of vehicles in the Heritage Fleet.
“Opening Ford’s Heritage Fleet allows us to share a tangible piece of our performance history directly with the enthusiasts who cherish it most,” said Ted Ryan, Ford’s Heritage and Brand Manager. “This 2006 Ford GT is more than just a car, it’s a rolling embodiment of our racing legacy, and we’re thrilled to have Barrett-Jackson help it find a new home where its story will continue to be celebrated. I am even more excited that the proceeds from the sale of this vehicle will be used to restore and maintain the rest of the Heritage Fleet.”
Other notable cars at the auction include two additional Ford GTs: a yellow 2006 model (Lot #1056), one of only 31 produced in that color scheme out of a total run of 2,011 units; and a track-only 2021 Ford GT Mk II (Lot #1051), one of just 45 built worldwide with only 41 miles on it.
Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson, commented on Ford’s presence at the event: “Ford is famous for its dominance on the track over the years, their performance on the road and the off-road capabilities of their trucks and SUVs. A great group of their spectacular muscle cars, supercars and track stars will roll across the block. From a race-ready 2021 Ford GT Mk II (Lot #1051) and supercharged 2021 Shelby GT500 Signature Edition coupe (Lot #975) to the iconic 1968 Ford Mustang Licensed Eleanor 25th Anniversary Limited Edition (Lot #1068), we’ll have some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to own a piece of Ford’s rich legacy.”
Among classic Mustangs offered is Lot #1068—a certified “Eleanor” build commemorating “Gone in 60 Seconds”—as well as custom fastbacks like Lot #1007 featuring modern performance upgrades.
For off-road fans, there are customized Broncos such as Lot #1019—a modified 1969 model with modern features—and other restored examples from various years.
Late-model highlights include limited-production Shelby models like Lot #1084—a Heritage Edition celebrating five decades since the original—with more than 900 horsepower.
Barrett-Jackson continues its tradition as an industry leader in collector car auctions based in Scottsdale since its founding in 1971. The company hosts live events across multiple cities each year including Palm Beach and Columbus alongside broadcast coverage via A+E Networks.
