Pat Jarman inspects his new Ford GT Supercar at Krapohl Ford & Lincoln on Sept. 25, 2020.
Pricing starts at $500,000 for hard-to-buy model
It’s rare, and it’s fast. A Heritage Edition of the Ford GT supercar will be delivered to Krapohl Ford & Lincoln on Friday morning, the final chapter of a customer’s multi-year process of applying to purchase the special model.
The GT will be the seventh version of a supercar in the collection of Pat Jarman, a Mount Pleasant native and businessman.
“The new ones are really cool,” he said. “I hear they are only making 50 this year. It’s the rarest one, and it has the Gulf Racing No. 6 color scheme on it.”
The look of the 2020 Heritage model is a nod to the acclaimed 1968 and 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40 race car. Jarman’s newest GT supercar is white with orange and black highlights.
The 2020 Ford GT supercar features 660 horsepower, and prospective owners must apply to Ford to buy one. Pricing starts at $500,000.
Jarman says he has one GT he drives occasionally, and he often brings one of his GT supercars to car shows. It’s a long way from his first car, an early 1980s Ford Mustang with a four-cylinder engine.
“I have one GT that I drive,” he said. “You have to be careful. Everybody wants to take pictures or give you a thumbs up. They draw a lot of attention.”
Media should arrive at 9:45 a.m. Friday at Krapohl Ford & Lincoln at 1415 E. Pickard in Mount Pleasant. Ford will deliver the vehicle, unload it and work with Pat Jarman to explain its features.
