The GTX1 is what you got when you wanted an open-top Ford GT that Ford never built. A customer bought a standard 2005–2006 GT and sent it to Genaddi Design Group of Green Bay, Wisconsin, which replaced the fixed roof with a four-panel removable hard-roof system. Unveiled at the 2005 SEMA show and endorsed by Ford — it was sold through the official dealer network at roughly a 15% premium — it kept the GT's supercharged 5.4-litre V8, Ricardo six-speed transaxle and chassis untouched.
The removable panels let the car be configured three ways: full coupe, T-top (door panels off, central spine retained), and roadster (all four panels off, targa-style), with the removed panels stowing inside. It is genuinely rare — only about 30 to 50 GTs were converted before work wound down around 2008 — which makes provenance and build quality far more important than any spec-sheet number here.
No. It is an aftermarket conversion of a standard 2005–2006 Ford GT by Genaddi Design Group, unveiled at the 2005 SEMA show. Ford endorsed it and it was sold through the official dealer network, but it was not built on a Ford line.
A four-panel removable hard-roof system. You can run it as a full coupe, as a T-top (door panels off with the central spine in place), or as a full roadster with all four panels removed. The panels stow inside the car.
Only around 30 to 50 GTs were actually converted before work wound down around 2008. Higher numbers you may see (~100 orders, a 600-car plan) refer to orders and plans, not cars completed.
