I wonder if it was the same car that did the top speed run at Nardó then got featured on Top Gear. It said the car was headed for the crusher, but it could be the same one for sure. Unless Ford made more than one yellow pre-production GT.

This is what the seller says.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history. Not only is this a pre-production Ford GT, but it’s also Steve Saleen’s personal GT. This is vehicle #5 of the 9 pre-production GT’s that Ford reserved for internal use. It was given to Steve Saleen from Ford. This amazing example has priceless documented Ford history that comes with the vehicle. This was the media car for all early tests on the Ford GT. This vehicle started out as a yellow with black stripes car, which can be seen in various magazines. Once Steve Saleen took delivery of it, he had it sent to the Saleen plant in Troy, Michigan to be disassembled, repainted white with blue stripes (his preference), and then assembled back to factory specifications. Steve also had a one-off supercharger manufactured specifically for this vehicle that you won’t find on any other Ford GT. You will also find a different build plate on this engine (as seen in picture). The build plate reads, “4.6 LITER 4V MUSTANG COBRA.” This is because this pre-production engine started off as a 4.6L block and then bored out to 5.4L. This exact vehicle was featured in such movies as “Rocky Balboa” and “Fast and Furious 4”. It was also featured in the “Supercars” book, which a signed copy by Steve Saleen will be included with the vehicle. This pre-production GT has all the factory options including: McIntosh sound system, Racing stripes, Painted brake calipers, and Forged alloy wheels.Being a pre-production vehicle, this vehicle is not registered as a street legal vehicle and has only been driven on the test track or on the streets with manufacturer plates. This vehicle is perfect investment to add to one’s historic collection.
