[QUOTE="cam346, post: 15995320, member: 56973"] According to the sellers at Worldwide Auctioneers, this Ford GT is confirmation prototype number four out of an estimated nine cars built. Constructed to verify ride, handling, and climate control functions, it's a fully functional GT, meaning it's packing a 550-horsepower supercharged 5.4-liter V8 sending power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This car was apparently the first GT to eclipse 200 MPH in testing, which, depending on how obsessed you are with the GT, could be a big deal for you. It was built without air bags and is missing some of the production car sound-deadening. As you can see from the pictures, it still has some velcro that was used to mount engineers' testing equipment, and sports the signatures from all 15 of the car's original engineers.
