When is a Ford worth the price of a new McLaren 650S and a year's worth of track days at the Nürburgring? When it's a 2005 Ford GT prototype, apparently.

This example, known by the code PB1-3, is the car used for durability and weather testing during development of the Ford GT. Among its unique features: a prototype exhaust with racing headers, a pre-production transmission, and an ownership history that includes Steve Saleen.

Painted in Heritage Blue, but without the usual stripes you'd see on a GT, the PB1-3 prototype represents a unique moment in American sports car history, selling at a price that's not all that far beyond that of its production-built successors.
