Kid Rock, the original owner of his 2005 Ford GT, is auctioning the supercar at the RM Sotheby’s event March 26, 2022


Singer-songwriter Kid Rock will sell his 2005 Ford GT at the RM Sotheby’s auction event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Saturday.

With the sale, Kid Rock will include a photo signed by Ford GT designer Camilo Pardo and an autographed guitar.

Considering his celebrity influence in the GT’s value, RM Sotheby’s set a pre-auction estimate of $500,000 to $575,000. Hagerty estimates the value of a highly preserved, world-class GT to be $450,000.


“With its stunning retro-inspired design and breathtaking power, the Ford GT has been a highly sought-after model since its release,” RM Sotheby’s said. “This four-option, Mark IV Red example’s low mileage, excellent condition, and truly one-of-a-kind ownership history make it an opportunity not to be missed.”

Ford sold around 4,000 GTs during the 2005 and 2006 model years, starting at the price point of $139,995. The supercar is one of 669 first-year models that are finished in Mark IV Red with white stripes.

The 2005 Ford GT’s all-aluminum 5.4-liter V-8 placed it in the same echelon as other period supercars such as the Porsche Carrera GT and the Mercedes-McLaren SLR.


“At its heart was Ford’s all-aluminum 5.4-liter V-8 equipped with a Lysholm twin-screw supercharger, capable of producing 550 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque,” RM Sotheby’s said. 

The auctioning of Kid Rock’s Ford GT follows widespread discussion about him claiming to be “uncancelable.”

“I’m not in bed with any big corporate things. At the end of the day, there’s nobody I’m beholden to: no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing. You can’t cancel me,” Rock told Foxs Tucker Carlson. “I love it when they try.”
