LOT #1389 - 2017 FORD GT HERITAGE EDITION - NO RESERVE

Barrett-Jackson is excited to once again bring cutting-
edge performance and legacy to the forefront of the 2022
Scottsdale Auction. Offered with No Reserve are two Heritage
Edition Ford GTs from 2017 and 2019.
“The 2017 Ford GT ’66 Heritage Edition is a stunning tribute
to the car that kicked off Ford’s string of Le Mans victories in
1966,” Nair said. This example (Lot #1417) of a ’66 Heritage
Edition wears Shadow Black paint with silver stripes and
Frozen White No. 2 graphics on the hood and doors, just
like the Le Mans-winner. Other touches reminiscent of the
1966 GT40 are seat belts with unique Ford Performance Blue
webbing, as well as 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum
wheels in a gold satin clear coat with black lug nuts –
echoing those on the original racer. The GT also features the
exposed carbon-fiber package to complement the exterior.
The carbon-fiber seats are wrapped in Ebony leather, as is the
steering wheel.
The 2019 Heritage Editions celebrate the final overall
victories at Le Mans by Ford. Wearing what many view as the
most famous livery in motorsports, the ’19 Heritage Edition
(Lot #1389) is dressed in the orange and pale blue of Gulf
Oil in a nod to the Ford GT40 (Chassis #1075) that won
the race in 1968 and 1969, making it the only postwar car
to win the race twice in a row. This limited-edition Ford GT
offered in Scottsdale is an homage to the 50th anniversary
of Chassis #1075’s first win. The exterior features exposed
carbon-fiber accents, as does the interior. The Number 9
graphics are prominently displayed on the hood and doors,
as well as a ghosted image on the interior door panels. The
car rides on 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum wheels
with orange brake calipers and silver rearview mirror caps to
complete the look. Inside, Ebony Alcantara wraps the seats,
instrument panel, pillars, headliner and steering wheel.
Contrasting blue-and-orange stitching accentuates the seats
