2004 Ford Mustang GT-R Concept

RM Auctions has announced plans to offer the 2004 Mustang GT-R Concept during their Ford-only event of its Monterey auction. The car is expected to sell for $250,000 to $350,000.

The GT-R Concept was originally introduced at the 2004 New York International Auto Show, as a tribute to the Mustang’s 40th anniversary. It features a TTC T-56 6-speed manual transmission, a Ford Racing “Cobra R” heavy-duty clutch and flywheel, a metal matrix composite aluminum custom driveshaft connected to a Winter’s race-spec rear differential, Brembo brakes and 20-inch wheels outfitted with Pirelli racing slick tires. Power is generated by a 5.0-liter V8 engine, with 440 bhp, which still runs.
An important point that one should keep in mind is that the GT-R Concept isn’t DOT or EPA certified and therefore can’t be registered for use on public roads.

Next to Mustang GT-R Concept, there are other notable vehicles up for auction. These include the 2004 Lincoln Mark X Concept (estimated at $200,000 - $250,000), the 2003 Ford Supercharged Thunderbird Concept (estimated at $175,000 - $250,000), and the 1962 Lincoln Continental “Bubbletop” Limousine (estimated at $500,000 - $750,000) used by President John F. Kennedy.
