Up for sale is an incredibly rare, authentic 2006 Ford GT Dealer Product Training Portfolio Manual (dated July 2005). This is a highly sought-after piece of official Ford dealership literature that was never made available to the general public. It was distributed strictly to dealerships to train sales and service personnel on the engineering marvels of the legendary 2006 Ford GT supercar.
As shown in ⁠image.png⁠, the binder features the iconic "CAR 2006 FORD GT" tabbed design, complete with factory hole punches designed to fit inside a standard dealership training master binder.

I have had this stored in a box since i received it from the dealership. FYI: I worked at a Ford dealership for 20 plus years. I collected many things during that time. Now that I am retired, I am putting them up for sale.
Thanks for looking. Non smoking and pet free home.
