There’s a 2017 for sale on right now. That in itself, isn’t all that special. There have been dozens of for sale on the website. However, there’s one thing that sets this liquid blue GT apart – it has over 50,000 miles on the clock.

That’s enormous for a vehicle of this type, as you may have imagined. In fact, that’s an average of about 10,000 miles per year. Someone pretty much daily drove this thing for five years. That fuckin’ rocks.

There’s no way to know the average mileage of one of these cars, but it’s a safe bet to say it’s probably a fraction of what this owner put on his . They seem to be one of the few people that actually did what Ford hoped would happen to the cars: get used.

The company was so into the notion of its cars not just sitting around for collectors, that it implemented a pretty aggressive anti-flipping contract that obligated buyers to keep their cars for at least two years before selling them. In fact, for trying to flip his GT. On top of that, who would get the cars. You had to send in a video application and everything. It was pretty wild.

Anyway, back to our lovely 50,000 mile GT. Ford clearly picked the right buyer when it came to this example. The pictures on the listing aren’t the greatest, but it seems to be well taken care of despite the high-for-this-type-of-car mileage.

In fact, the only bit of strangeness on the whole car is the two leather patches on the 10 and 2 of the steering wheel that cover the wheel’s alcantara finish.

The owner also added “Ford Racing” decals under the butterfly doors that are visible when they’re opened. It’s a boomer move, but I guess it’s sort of par for the course.

The rest of the car is fairly neat and tidy. The interior isn’t the cleanest, but it’s probably better than most 50,000 mile 2017 Ford products.

Oh, and as a fun little bonus: the current owner didn’t register their car in Montana, which means they probably paid taxes for it.

Mechanically, the 3.5-liter twin-turbo that pumps out 647 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque through a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox seems to be holding up rather well. Why wouldn’t they? At the end of the day, it’s a Ford.

It’ll be interesting to see where this GT ends up in terms of a sale price. So far, ’s have been listed on . Those that have sold have gone anywhere from about $825,000 to $1.3 million. Obviously, the median price has been up since the recent car price bubble has taken shape.

This particular GT MSRP’ed for $485,250 when it was new in 2017. As of the publication date of this article, bidding stands at $350,000 with eight days to go. Good luck. Buy this Ford GT and enjoy it as much as the first owner already did.

Canada's all about the maple leaf. It's on their flag, their money, and even on many of the nation to the north's trees. Today's one-year only Canadian Ford is pretty leafed out - or maybe it's worn out - but will its price make you want to join the Canadian...

Today's candidate is… are you ready for this… a horse, snake, and a fox all rolled into one. You'll need to decide if this seemingly fabulous Ford is worth opening up your bank roll. Canada has long sought to distance its national persona from that of the United States, sort...

Today's Pontiac Firefly rocked three-cylinders before rocking three-cylinders was cool. You'll need to decide if this Canadian import's price is equally rocking. Suzuki today is majority-owned (51%) by Volkswagen, (oops, old news) but back in the '80s the company had a long-term fling with GM. That partnership included setting up...

The Los Angeles Times recently ran a about how classic Japanese car values are taking off in the market. Today's Fairlady Z is not just Japanese, it's a JDM homie, but does that help its price look like it's not a ripoff? Okay now, let's not all freak out. Yes,...

Chevy's Corvette and the Shelby Cobra spent much of the sixties duking it out on both street and the track. Today's Corv-bra tries to bring the two warring factions together, but will its price be worth the fight? If you're going to try and sell a relatively rare but in...

It seems that the Canadian city of Victoria has been keeping something on the down-low, that being today's '86 Caravan that they've been maintaining in pristine condition. Will its price however, have you saying oh Canada? Yesterday's was brown, diesel and rear-wheel drive, giving it a solid three points toward...
