This past spring Jack Roush unveiled his European spec performance pack for the Ford GT. To mark the end of production for the retro supercar, Roush set out to create an exclusive series of engine upgrades as well as unique interior and exterior styling treatments for a select group of European buyers.
The vehicle was designed and assembled at Roush’s Brentwood technical centre in the UK, and was only available through one dealer in Surrey, England. Only ten 600RE versions were built. Check that, only nine are now running. The third in the series only saw three days of fresh air before its untimely death.
The hyper-limited edition 612bhp monster wasn’t even broken in yet, with only 512 miles on the clock. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, the ten cars picked to become Roush 600 REs were the last ten Ford GTs to roll off the production line – ever.
How the car met its maker is unknown to me.
“Hey Dad, I had a little accident.”

The Ford GT is one of my favorite cars (look at the header). This little number looks like it perfect
Hey Jamie,
Those ten cars sold in the $300,000 range. The original production run of 3 years worth of GT’s numbered just over 4,000 and sold for $150,000. Currently any unused GT is selling for around $200,000.
Nice to be rich!
The owner put up the car for sale on eBay, but due to British regulations he can’t sell the chassis, but anything he can remove he can sell. And, besides the car itself, someone else ended up pretty bad and that’s the insurance company, which had to pay the guy £145,000. I do know that someone already bought the engine and transmission.
@Jeff – Only 200k might make a nice stocking stuffer
@Gary – I hate to say it but hearing that an insurance company is getting the short stick makes me happy since it seems that they mostly deal out the grief.
