# Would You Buy this 700-HP Black-on-Black Ford GT?

Our latest Bring a Trailer find comes in the form of a beautiful [2006 Ford GT](<https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2006-ford-gt-4/>) with one theme in mind–– all black everything. When the previous owner ordered the car, they opted for a black exterior finish with matching black interior, added window tinting, and deleted the iconic racing stripes on the hood; we're surprised they didn't paint the GT's forged BBS wheels to match.

With 5,967 miles on the clock, this is far from the [lowest-mileage GT](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/16302/2006-ford-gt-with-10-8-miles-on-the-clock-going-to-auction>) we've seen, but it's still selling for a little more than $200,000 on Bring a Trailer *(*at the time of writing). It's been well-maintained, with a recent inspection in October and a ceramic clear coat added this month.

The owner also heavily modified the GT's supercharged V8 with a host of goodies including an SCT tune and Ford Motorsport Racing headers, intake, and exhaust system. The end result is approximately 700-horsepower, a respectable increase from the GT's 550 horses from the factory. Ford GTs are well-equipped to handle this power output though, featuring bespoke [Ricardo six-speed manual transmissions](<https://slc-wiki.squarespace.com/ricardo/>) that have been tested with GTs making more than 1000-hp.

The 2006 model year was the last of the original Ford GTs designed to celebrate Ford's 100th anniversary and America's first Le Mans-winning race car, the [GT40](<https://www.thedrive.com/video/5030/see-every-race-winning-ford-gt40-from-pebble-beach>). An average GT sells in the [$250,00 range](<https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuationtools/2005-ford-gt>) with many low-mileage examples selling for more than $450,000, so this car is a bargain.
