Broad Arrow Auctions will hold their first Chattanooga Auction on October 12 in partnership with the 2024 Chattanooga Motorcar Festival. Previously the Retro Motors Collection, 25 sports cars many of which will be offered with no reserve were announced as early consignments for the Chattanooga Auction and now more cars and collections have been announced.
Just 30 examples of the Alan Mann Heritage Edition Ford GTs were built in tribute to the lightweight Ford GT race cars of 1966. This particular example shows less than 20 miles since new and is being offered from its original owner. It includes the original window sticker, paperwork, charger, and aluminum production photo.
These were extremely difficult to buy new as they were only offered to approved Ford GT customers. Production of the Ford GT ended in 2023 which makes this quite a tempting opportunity for collectors of modern supercars.
Estimate: $1,200,000 – $1,500,000
