- The second-gen Ford GT, limited to just 1,350 units, remains a highly desirable collectible.
- Due to its limited production, the GT now commands $800K–$900K on the used market.
- This nearly brand-new 3-year-old example, sold on BaT, had just 26 miles on the odometer.
The new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is shaping up to be one of the most incredible supercars the US has ever seen, but let’s take a moment to rewind. A decade ago, the second-generation Ford GT was the car everyone was drooling over. With a price tag hovering around $500,000 and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine pushing out up to 666 hp, the GT remains a hot commodity for collectors, and its resale value continues to soar well beyond its original sticker price.
When the first GTs started hitting the used market several years ago, most were easily trading hands for more than $1 million, or roughly double the sticker price. Fast-forward to mid-2025, and while the market has cooled a bit, most of these cars are still selling for between $800,000 and $900,000, or roughly five times the price of the new Corvette ZR1.

One particular 2022 Ford GT just sold this week for $845,000 on Bring a Trailer, a hefty $293,400 more than its original price of $551,000 before delivery fees. Sure, it’s a lot of cash, but before you start thinking that’s outrageous, remember that the Ford GT was produced in extremely limited numbers – only 1,350 units, to be exact. It’s also a lot more exotic than the Corvette, with its custom carbon fiber monocoque. So yeah, there’s that.
As far as GTs go, this one is quite basic. It’s painted Frozen White with Lightning Blue stripes (a $12,500 option) and sits on Satin Silver 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. A look inside the cabin reveals black Alcantara adorning the carbon fiber Sparco seats. The odometer also shows just 26 miles (42 km), which makes it basically a brand-new 3-year-old vehicle. While it’s a shame it has barely ever been driven, this has no doubt helped it gain so much value since being delivered.
Buying a new Ford GT was famously difficult, and interested customers had to apply for the opportunity to spend half a million dollars on one. To further control the market, Ford also enforced a two-year resale restriction, preventing owners from flipping the car for profit. Buyers had to sign contracts agreeing not to sell within that period, ensuring the cars remained for personal use and showcasing.
These days, however, the resale ban is a thing of the past, and Ford GTs are regularly showing up on the used market, just don’t expect to find one anywhere near its original sticker price.
