These days you’ll find that the 2000s-era Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] GT is overshadowed by the 2017 model, but it’s still a thing of beauty worthy of being added to any serious collector’s fleet. A very special example, the first working prototype, is headed for auction. This represents a very rare opportunity as prototypes are almost always blocked from being sold to the public.
