Tim Allen’s 2017 Ford GT is set for auction in January 2026

Tim Allen’s rare Ford GT returns

Owning a celebrity-driven Ford GT is extremely rare, and this low-mileage example makes it even more special. The 2017 model heading to the January 2026 Barrett-Jackson auction has only 937 original miles, preserving its nearly brand-new condition.

This GT carries serial number H074 and is one of approximately 1,350 examples ever built. Its VIN is 2FAGP9CW3HH200074, and it comes with full factory documentation that proves its authenticity and low mileage.

A star-owned supercar

The GT was first purchased new by Tim Allen through Galpin Ford in Los Angeles. Galpin Ford is renowned for supplying high-performance vehicles to speed enthusiasts and celebrity clients throughout the area.

The car retains its original paint protection film and optional gloss carbon-fiber accents, giving it a show-quality finish. It also features 20-inch wheels that perfectly complement the Ingot Silver exterior for a striking appearance.

Track-focused cabin details

Inside, the GT cabin features carbon-backed Sparco seats wrapped in Alcantara for both comfort and support, according to Modern Car Collector. The interior uses the Dark Energy theme, creating a dramatic and focused racing-inspired cockpit.

The interior features a driver-adjustable pedal box and a touchscreen infotainment system, striking a balance between usability and track readiness. Air conditioning and other everyday comforts make this hardcore machine surprisingly livable when you’re not on track.

A Le Mans-inspired purpose

Ford designed the third-generation GT to celebrate its racing heritage and Le Mans history. The car is closely linked to the Chip Ganassi Racing program that won Le Mans in 2016.

The GT also commemorates the 50th anniversary of Ford’s 1966 Le Mans triumph. The design delivers a street-legal machine that remains faithful to endurance racing principles, including aerodynamics, handling, and chassis technology.

Power that defines the GT

The heart of the GT is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine producing 647 horsepower. According to the DuPont Registry, it also generates 550 pound-feet of torque, giving this car massive straight-line performance.

Power flows through a seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch gearbox, offering rapid and precise shifts. The GT accelerates from zero to sixty in just three seconds and can reach a top speed of 216 mph.

Grip and stopping strength

The GT can produce up to 1.11 g of lateral grip when cornering aggressively. The car can stop from 70 miles per hour in only 145 feet, demonstrating its precision braking.

Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes deliver consistent stopping power in even the most extreme conditions. Lightweight carbon-fiber wheels reduce unsprung weight, enhancing handling and making the car razor-sharp on twisty roads or the track.

Carbon fiber foundation

The GT’s chassis is a carbon-fiber monocoque built by Multimatic in Canada. According to the DuPont Registry, it features FIA-approved roll cage sections concealed within the roof for enhanced safety during high-speed driving.

Its pushrod suspension technology originates from endurance racing, providing exceptional control over bumps and corners. The structure manages airflow efficiently while creating downforce, making the GT a street-legal race car in every sense.

Shaped for speed

The GT’s body features a teardrop profile with flying buttresses and an active rear wing. As explained by the DuPont Registry, these design elements channel airflow for cooling, downforce, and improved high-speed stability.

It stands just 43.7 inches tall, keeping the center of gravity low for sharper handling. Engaging Track Mode lowers the ride by an extra two inches, further optimizing performance for spirited driving or track days.

A handpicked ownership process

Ford required a private application to purchase the GT, carefully selecting owners based on their performance experience and history. According to the DuPont Registry, Tim Allen was selected due to his racing background and long-standing relationship with Ford.

The GT changed hands in October when it had 671 miles and was offered again by the second owner in 2022 with 739 miles. Its low mileage makes it one of the most preserved examples available today.

A well-preserved example

This GT returns to market with only 937 miles and complete factory documentation. The sale includes all original accessories and the factory exhaust system, keeping it close to new condition.

It also comes with a Design Spec kit and the original Window Sticker from delivery, according to Barrett-Jackson. This attention to preservation makes it one of the cleanest remaining 2017 GTs with provenance from a celebrity.

Silver Arrow’s role

Silver Arrow Cars Ltd is handling the Scottsdale auction sale of the GT. According to Modern Car Collector, the vehicle is being showcased with its exceptionally low mileage and preserved condition to attract serious collectors.

The auction environment is expected to generate competitive bidding due to both the rarity and celebrity ownership of the item. Tim Allen’s connection adds a unique layer of value that will likely influence collectors’ interest.

Focused exterior engineering

The GT’s Ingot Silver exterior features gloss carbon-fiber accents, combining style and performance. According to Barrett-Jackson, the 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels match the finish while reducing overall weight for sharper handling.

Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, featuring blue calipers, provide exceptional stopping power under demanding conditions. A factory-applied paint protection film helps protect the Ingot Silver finish, keeping it looking close to new even after years of careful, low-mileage ownership.
