Paul Walker's Ford GT Up For Auction: What Will It Fetch?!

Ready to open your wallet? A stunning 2005 Ford GT, previously owned by the late Paul Walker, is currently up for grabs on Bring a Trailer, and the bidding war is already fierce. If you're dreaming of owning a piece of Hollywood history and a seriously impressive piece of machinery, you'll need to dig deep. As of today, with still over a week left in the auction, the price has already rocketed past half a million dollars, sitting pretty at $550,000.

Paul Walker's Ford GT Up For Auction: What Will It...

The listing mentions this GT was part of Walker's "Always Evolving Collection," though specifics about its time with the actor are a little thin. What's not thin is the power lurking under the hood. We're talking about Ford's supercharged 5.4-liter V8, unleashing a hefty 558 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a Ricardo 6-speed manual transaxle. That's a whole lot of controlled fury waiting to be unleashed. I can almost hear the roar of that engine just thinking about it.

But this isn't just any 2005 Ford GT. Its rarity kicks it up a notch. This beauty is one of only 14 finished in Mark IV Red *without* the racing stripes. A subtle yet significant detail that sets it apart. While largely stock, it boasts some tasteful upgrades. Steve Saleen's signature graces the engine crossmember, and the car benefits from Penske shocks, an Accufab throttle body, an ECU tune, and a refreshed exhaust system. The wheels are equally impressive, with staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear ADV.1 split-spoke rims wrapped in sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Oh, and for good measure, the listing *also* includes a set of BBS forged lightweight aluminum wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. Decisions, decisions!

Factory options abound, adding to the desirability. Think McIntosh stereo with a CD player (remember those?), eye-catching red brake calipers, ebony leather upholstery inside, and practical rubber mats protecting the aluminum floor. Keyless entry and start are present, as is air conditioning – a must-have, especially if you plan on actually *driving* this beast instead of just admiring it in your garage (though, honestly, who could blame you?).

The odometer shows a relatively low 3,701 miles (5,956 km), and the Carfax report is clean. It's also reassuring to know that it received a thorough service just last month, with new engine oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, battery, and air sensors. So, if you've got the cash and the burning desire to own a piece of automotive and Hollywood history, head over to Bring a Trailer. Just be prepared to outbid some serious competition. This isn't going to be a cheap thrill, but it might just be the ultimate collectible for the right enthusiast.
