When I was a 19 year old kid growing up in Longview, Texas, and building my first dragster with a flat head Ford V-eight, in a three-sided shed with a dirt floor, I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams the Fords that I would be blessed with owning - 54 years in the future!

A brief history lesson. I traded my twin-engined Pontiac dragster for a real Lola T-70 coupe, which I traded, over thirty years later, for my '06 Ford GT Heritage, which helped me get on the approved list for my new 2019 Ford GT.

More pictures of my 2006 Ford GT Heritage for sale-
I'll include a new Double Dragon T-Shirt with the sale.
Cheers,
Eddie
This blower picture is of the OEM unit, not on the car now, the big polished Whipple is on the car now, but this pictured unit goes with the sale, in case you ever want to go back to stock.

Here is a public answer to a private question about service records.
I have them all, and of course they go with the car.
The first service done on my Heritage was the rear axle output flange fasteners recall/replacement/ upgrade. This was done before we had a problem with the original fasteners/bolts. They did a multi-point inspection and also warranted an erratic multi-function/turn signal switch. At 2142 miles on 3/11/08.
I had Ford warranty two different oil pressure sending units that gave erratic readings (even though the oil pressure was always correct). And then I bought a third sending unit (fortunately not GT-specific, and not expensive or hard to replace). While they were replacing one of those senders, and already had the belly pans off, I had Ford do one of the oil changes, under my supervision, with the Ford part # oil and filter specified by Ford.
Ford warrantied a new OEM battery for me at 3050 miles on 10/01/09, and the third battery, now in the car, has the Ford GT sticker on it and has always been on the trickle charger/maintainer, and still spins the engine what seems like as fast as ever. Never any gage problems with this car, but I have always made sure the battery ground strap/cable connection is clean, bright, and tight, and I let the gages normalize before starting the engine.
Ford replaced under warranty the boot for the emergency brake handle that had a mark on it from the brake handle being a little too loose on the adjustment, and therefore traveling enough too far with the brake fully applied, to pinch the boot. Same visit they replaced a erratic-reading oil pressure sensor. Engine oil and filter change. This at 3307 miles, on 12/14/09
On one of the GT Guys trips through Texas, I had them do the pictured big Whipple and drive belt install and tune with the SCT tuner/code reader that I received with the Whipple purchase. They did the Accufab big throttle body install and the Mafia that makes the fuel pressure correct with the extra boost. They installed a cooler set of spark plugs for the anticipated extra power. The ones that came out are perfect and go with the sale. We installed an air intake tube inner support to keep the rubber tube from distorting/ flexing inward under high air flow demand. They did the install of the Heffner Stainless muffler eliminator. With the belly pans off for the other work, I had them change the engine oil and filter, change the transaxle oil, check the oil pump belt and pulley and alignment, change the engine anti freeze and coolant, change the aftercooler antifreeze and coolant, change the brake and clutch system fluid, and retorque the rear axle outer hub nuts. This at mileage 3994, on 10-25-2011. In the seven years and four months since then, I have averaged about 138 miles a year by starting the car, getting it up to temp and running it gently through the gears and cycling the heater and air conditioner, and not let the car sit too long in between drives, to avoid flatspotting the tires. All the miles on the car are on the original tires, brake discs and pads, and all you have to do to verify the condition of the car, is to inspect those original parts. Most of the last thousand miles are in my own driveway (1/4 mile long all concrete) . Helping to verify that, my last Texas inspection sticker was year 2014, last vehicle registration 2015, and both still on the car.
The last service done was by Ford, and they made a house call to do both air bag replacements, and under my supervision, (and with a couple of my tools).

Interesting article from msn about a Ford GT like the one I have for sale here. The 300 mph Ford GT Heritage in this article has a modified original engine, with twin turbos and methanol fuel.
First street legal car to hit 300 mph in the standing mile.

Yesterday, 4/9/19, was the thirty first anniversary of drag racing's first quarter mile run in the four second zone. I was blessed with a run of 4.99 at 288 mph on 4/9/88, the day that seemed to demand it. Thank you, Lord!

! I've wanted one since I was a little kid. I'll be down in Wichita Falls at Sheppard AFB in late Sept. Small World!
