“You miss 100% of the shots you never take,” said NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. So, why not take a shot and buy the 2006 Ford GT once owned by the hockey great.
This GT is one of the only 346 Heritage Editions ever made, carrying the distinctive blue/orange colors that pay homage to Ford GT40 that won at Le Mans.
The Ford GT uses a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that’s rated for 550 horsepower. It comes with a Ricardo six-speed manual and a helical limited-slip differential. This particular example has only 86 miles on the clock.
Find this 2006 Ford GT for sale from Porsche Salt Lake City, with an asking price of $829,999.
I saw this Ford GT a number of years ago when it was in a Private collection. It then was sold as part of the "Elkhart Collection".

In reply to kabinenroller :
Thanks for sharing! That definitely puts things perspective. That's quite the appreciation from what it sold for in 2020 to what its asking price is today in 2023. I bet that's better than Wayne Gretzky's rookie card!
In reply to J.A. Ackley :
I don't think this car and the elkart lake one are the same car. Different vins and different mileage. Maybe Gretzky had two?
In reply to trappia :
I think you're right. It's possible he had two. I'd bet that he had the connections to get one.
