This in the wrapper Heritage went for $760,000 on BAT. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2006-ford-gt-heritage-edition-13/ Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have a collector friend with a Heritage < 10 mi. still has all of the pre-delivery stickers in place.
This example is going to absolutely smash the record for non-Heritage GT’s. It’s 1 of 2 in this exact combination (yellow, stripe delete, red calipers) and only has 16 miles. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2006-ford-gt-66/ Image Unavailable, Please Login
This gets ridiculous. means nothing! makes the owner feel better? and what if it had black calipers? WHO CARES!!! sorry .

It's not the color combination, it's just the 1 of 1, 1 of 2, 1 of x ..... Watch the big auctions. it's rampant. If any car had 30? possible options, the unique, 1 of 1 combinations are endless. So the seller puts '1 of 1' on the windshield cuz it's 'special'. whatever .
Takes like this are so tired and ignorant. A yellow GT40 finished on the podium in 1966, so it is a legitimate legacy color. Yellow cars have a significant history as a color in auto racing, with an important Ferrari vendor (Momo) having a yellow/red corporate logo. Yellow happens to look amazing on FGTs, although I like the stripes.
Well my car is 1 of 1 too......because it has so much go-fast equipment on it. So I agree that type of language is insignificant and just seller's fluff.
Fair enough. Here’s one of the auction comments that goes into the full details. It looks to be the rarest of the rare, and the auction results will tell us if it matters. Ford’s GT Paint & Option Matrix says 4,033 05/6 GTs were made. 171 in Speed Yellow (4.2%). 6 in Speed Yellow with Stripe Delete (0.1%) … ie no Side Stripes and no over-the-top stripes. 4 in Speed Yellow with Stripe Delete and the McIntosh Upgrade Radio (0.1%). 3 in Speed Yellow with Stripe Delete and the Forged Upgrade Wheels (0.07%). 2 in Speed Yellow with Stripe Delete and optional Red Painted Calipers (0.05%).
In all fairness, the only option that matters here is the stripe delete. The others wouldn't move the dial $1 What everybody is bidding on is a 16 mile yellow stripe delete car.....Will this be the highest ever non-heritage? I would doubt it, but auctions are crazy.
Can we at least agree that this example is pretty unique? 1 of 6 in the world and probably the lowest miles, which matters to some people, although not to you and I.
Sure, it is unique as an extremely low mile car in an unpopular color (I like it) with an unpopular primary option (stripe delete). So the buyer pool would be smaller than other offerings.....but all it takes is two guys that fervently believe as you do to make a horse race.
I thought $521,000 would surely have hit the reserve, but I guess not. Seems like the right money for current market conditions. We do appear to rolling off the top of the froth, but I am no economist. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Even thru this bumpy inflation the 06 Heritage seems to be doing well: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Still strong but at least 10 percent off high ..few months ago this car could have gotten 450k Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk
At least that one had 7k miles Hard to compare 7-10k mile cars selling today to the "highs" of 6 months ago where they were mostly 1k cars selling on BAT. Apples to apples looks the same if not stronger lately (for the Tungsten examples). Image Unavailable, Please Login
