2005 Ford Thunderbird 2dr Cpe

This 2005 Ford GT is one of 2,022 examples built for the model year and is powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and a helical limited-slip differential. The car is finished in Centennial White over Ebony leather and is equipped with all four factory options, which consist of 18″ and 19″ forged aluminum BBS wheels, red-finished brake calipers, painted racing stripes, and a McIntosh stereo system. This Ford GT is now offered by the selling dealer with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, and a clean Carfax report.

The Camilo Pardo-designed GT was styled as an homage to the Le Mans-winning GT40 racing cars of the 1960s and features aluminum body panels over an extruded-aluminum space frame and roll-bonded floors. This example is one of 503 cars finished in Centennial White for the model year and features optional over-the-top racing stripes and Ford GT graphics as well as HID headlights, fog lights, side air intakes, a vented hood, a front splitter, rear diffuser, and dual center-exit exhaust.

Factory-optional BBS forged alloy wheels measure 18” up front and 19” out back and are mounted with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires. The Brembo braking system features optional red-painted four-piston monoblock calipers with cross-drilled and ventilated rotors that measure 14” up front and 13.2” out back.

The cockpit is trimmed in Ebony leather, and rubber mats cover bare aluminum floors. Manually adjusted seats were designed by Sparco and feature carbon-fiber shells with GT40-style ventilation grommets and harness slots. The central tunnel is topped by an aluminum console with rotary climate controls, and amenities include a McIntosh CD stereo, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, and push-button ignition. An airbag recall service has been performed.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel is affixed to a tilting and telescoping column ahead of the GT40-inspired instrument array consisting of a central tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline and an offset 220-mph speedometer. Toggle-switch controls are positioned under additional gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, boost, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 3,600 miles, and the speedometer does not work.

The mid-mounted 5.4-liter DOHC V8 features an aluminum block, cylinder heads, and pistons in addition to a Lysholm screw-type supercharger, a dry-sump lubrication system, and a water-to-air intercooler. Factory-rated output was 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed recently.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ricardo six-speed manual transaxle and a helical limited-slip differential. Additional underside photographs are shown in the gallery below.

The sale also includes a Ford certificate that list production numbers and an assembly date of August 19, 2005.
