If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a car that shaped automotive culture both on and off the big screen, this may be your chance. A 2005 Ford GT that belonged to Paul Walker — star of Fast and Furious and one of Hollywood’s greatest car enthusiasts — is officially up for auction on the Bring a Trailer website.

More than a collectible item, the 2005 Ford GT represents a rare piece of modern automotive history. The auction winner will not only take home a car driven by the actor; they will also acquire one of the most celebrated supercars of the 21st century, preserved in exceptional condition.
An icon on wheels — and worthy of Paul Walker
Walker’s passion for cars was as genuine as that of his character Brian O’Connor, making it no surprise that he chose a Ford GT for his collection. The sports coupé — ranked 6th by Robb Report among the best high-performance vehicles of the century — is considered the first modern American supercar.
Inspired by the legendary GT40, winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, the 2005 Ford GT is not just a historic tribute. It is also rare: only 4,038 units were produced over two years.
Paul Walker’s example: Mark IV paint and an impeccable interior
The Ford GT listed for sale comes from the first production year. It features a retro and sophisticated finish in Mark IV red, without racing stripes, further highlighting its elegance. Factory options include:
- Red brake calipers
- Forged aluminum double-spoke wheels (19″ front and 20″ rear)
- Ebony black leather interior
- Air conditioning
- McIntosh sound system with CD, a true early-2000s time capsule
With only 5,955 km on the odometer, the car preserves nearly its original performance.
Supercharged engine and respectable performance
Under the hood, the model is equipped with a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 capable of delivering:
- 550 hp of power
- 678 Nm of torque
- Six-speed Ricardo manual transmission
- 0 to 97 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds
- Quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds
- Top speed of 330 km/h
A mechanical masterpiece that combines pure performance with the soul of a modern classic.
Value rising quickly
The auction will close on Thursday afternoon, and expectations are high. At the time of publication, the guaranteed minimum bid was already 562,000 dollars, surpassing recent figures — including those from Monterey Car Week 2021.
For collectors, motorsport fans or admirers of Paul Walker, this is a rare opportunity: to acquire not only an iconic supercar but also a tangible piece of history tied to one of the most beloved names in automotive pop culture.
