Typical ownership maintenance revolves around age-related fluid flushes, clutch hydraulic checks, and monitoring suspension control arm bushings or half-shaft bolts.

Values for 2005-2006 Ford GT models continue to rise globally due to their timeless GT40 heritage, manual transmission, and limited production run.
