Combing through the listing photos, this is about as untouched as a 2006 Ford GT gets short of wiring Ford $5 billion to hand-build you a new one.
Bring a TrailerWe're not generally fans of snapping up cool cars just to let them sit pretty while rotting on the inside for decades, but given how many wealthy car collectors who vehemently disagree with that stance there seem to be, it's no surprise this GT in particular went into overtime bidding for two full hours.
The winning bidder, by the way, goes by "Flippipaldi" on BaT, which tells me they're hoping even more money can change hands over this car in the future.
As a refresher, this iteration of the Ford GT was powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 making 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque exclusively going to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox made by Ricardo.
With that in mind, the $2.1 million here isn't really paying for an automobile; it's the price of owning a piece of The Story.
