For fans of American performance cars — and for anyone who still feels a connection to the late Paul Walker — a very special piece of automotive history has surfaced. One of the actor’s personal cars, a 2005 Ford GT, is now on the auction block at Bring a Trailer, and the bidding has already blown past $550,000 with more than a week left to go.
This is the kind of listing that instantly grabs attention: a rare GT, pristine in condition, tied to a Hollywood legend whose love for cars was every bit as real as the characters he played.
A Car From Paul Walker’s Beloved Collection
The GT comes from Walker’s well-known Always Evolving Collection, a name that has become almost mythical among enthusiasts. The listing doesn’t go into the full story of how long he owned it, but honestly, it doesn’t need to — just the fact that it sat in his garage is enough to make collectors move fast and bid high.
Underneath its striking design sits the heart of the car: a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 with 550 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed Ricardo manual transmission. Among American supercars, the 2005 GT has always been a standout — a modern tribute to Ford’s racing heritage — and Walker’s ownership transforms it into something even more special.
One of Only 14 With This Paint
What makes this specific GT even more desirable is its color. Finished in Mark IV Red without the trademark white stripes, it’s one of only 14 examples built in this exact spec. That alone would make it rare. With the Paul Walker connection, it becomes a one-of-one in the eyes of many collectors.
Though the car remains largely original, it carries a handful of high-quality, enthusiast-approved upgrades:
- Penske performance dampers
- Accufab throttle body
- ECU tuning
- A refined exhaust system
- 1 wheels (19/20-inch) wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
It also comes with an extra set of lightweight BBS wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 tires — a nice bonus for whoever takes it home.
Original Cabin, Barely Driven
Inside, everything is classic GT: black Ebony leather, the factory McIntosh sound system, air conditioning, and push-button start. The car shows just 3,701 miles (5,956 km), a remarkably low figure that speaks to how carefully it was preserved.
It arrives with a clean Carfax and a clean title, and it recently received a full mechanical refresh — oil, spark plugs, battery, fuel filter, even a new MAF sensor.
Paul Walker’s Legacy Still Means Something
Even twelve years after his tragic passing, Paul Walker remains one of the most loved figures in car culture. His cars continue to rise in value not just because they’re rare, but because they carry a personal connection to a man whose passion for performance cars was genuine and infectious.
And with the bidding still climbing and several days left on the clock, this 2005 Ford GT is almost certain to smash past its current number before the auction wraps up.
