Check out Ford's heritage cars, many rare cars never seen before

Ford is one of the oldest automobile brands in the world . Throughout its history of more than 120 years, the company has launched many legendary Ford models, becoming legacies of the automobile industry.

Recently, under the direction of CEO Jim Farley, the company selected more than 50 iconic vehicles to add to the Heritage Collection, which is on display in Dearborn, Michigan. This is a place where iconic Ford models , supercars and unique concepts converge, reflecting Ford's rich history and innovative spirit.

Among the highlights, the Ford GT – the company’s speed icon – takes center stage. The collection includes five 2005 Ford GTs, including three from the first production run with special chassis numbers. Next up is the second-generation Ford GT with an all-carbon fiber body. But the most impressive GT is the Ford GT Mk II, a limited-edition race car of just 45 units, with a starting price of $1.2 million.

When it comes to Ford sports cars, it is impossible not to mention the Mustang - the legendary muscle car line. One of the most impressive cars is the Ford SVT Mustang Cobra R, a high-performance version of the 4th generation Mustang, limited to 300 units. To optimize the performance of the 390-horsepower V8 engine, this model completely omitted air conditioning, radio and rear seats.

In addition, the collection also shows that Ford once tested a Mustang with a 5.8L V10 engine to directly compete with the Dodge Viper, showing its ambition to compete in the sports car segment.

In addition to high-performance vehicles, Ford has also been a pioneer in the field of electric vehicles from a very early age. According to the plan, in 2027, Ford will officially launch the pure electric version of the Ranger, following the success of the F-150 Lightning. However, few people know that the Blue Oval had previously tested a pure electric Ranger in 1997. This was also the first electric vehicle in the company's history.

The Ford Ranger Lightning Bolt in particular draws attention with its 5.4L supercharged V8 engine from the F-150 Lightning, producing more than 420 horsepower, turning this mid-size pickup into a true “beast”. The Heritage Collection does not stop at commercial vehicles but also includes unique concepts.

The 2004 Ford Bronco Concept, which appeared in the 2018 film Rampage starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is a testament to the company's efforts to revive the iconic SUV. Similarly, the 2007 Ford Airstream Concept featured hydrogen fuel cell technology combined with a PHEV system, demonstrating the company's vision of the future.

Concept sedans are also included in this collection. The 2003 Ford 427 Concept features a 7.0L V10 engine made from aluminum alloy, reaching a capacity of more than 590 horsepower, combined with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.

Meanwhile, the retro-styled 2007 Ford Interceptor Concept served as inspiration for the Ford Taurus sedan – before Ford discontinued all sedans in 2022. Luxury brand Lincoln also made an appearance in the collection with the 2009 Lincoln C Concept – a promising hatchback that never made it to production, as Lincoln decided to focus entirely on SUVs.
