Wayne Gretzky’s influence extends beyond the rink, and now, two significant pieces of his storied legacy are available to the highest bidder.
A rare 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition, previously owned by Gretzky, is currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer. Simultaneously, a pair of game-worn gloves from his final Stanley Cup run with the Edmonton Oilers are being auctioned by Sotheby’s. Per reports, these items are expected to fetch well over half a million dollars combined, offering collectors a unique opportunity to own a piece of sports history.
The 2006 Ford GT supercar is one of just 343 produced, paying homage to the iconic GT40 race cars that triumphed at Le Mans in the 1960s. Finished in the distinctive Gulf Oil livery of blue and orange, this particular vehicle features Gretzky’s famed No. 99 decals on the doors and hood, a nod to his legendary jersey number.
Under the hood, the GT boasts a mid-mounted, supercharged 5.4-litre V8 engine delivering 550 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. According to the listing, the car has just 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometres) on the odometer, making it a rare find for collectors.
Previously registered in California, Montana, and Ontario, Gretzky’s GT is attracting significant attention. As of June 4, the highest bid stands at $680,000 USD, with the auction set to conclude on June 6.

Wayne Gretzky’s Supercar and Stanley Cup-Worn Gloves Up for Grabs
While the car draws plenty of interest, hockey fans are focusing on Gretzky’s game-worn gloves from the 1988 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The gloves are photo-matched by MeiGray to both home and road games during the Finals and are believed to have been worn throughout the entire series.
They previously sold for $204,162 in 2022 and now carry a pre-auction estimate between $400,000 and $600,000. If they reach the high end, it would double their value in just three years, reflecting the rising demand for game-worn memorabilia.
Adding to their allure, Gretzky wore these same gloves on the cover of Sports Illustrated on May 30, 1988, a lasting image from his final championship season with the Oilers.
During the 1988 playoffs, Gretzky delivered one of the finest postseason performances in NHL history, amassing 43 points over 19 games. The gloves are part of the growing demand for Gretzky memorabilia, which has seen record-setting prices in recent years.
His jersey from that same series, which set the record for the highest price ever paid for an NHL jersey at $1.45 million in 2022, and his stick from the final, which sold for $336,000, highlight the enduring appeal of his legacy among collectors.
Sotheby’s auction of the gloves officially opened on June 4 and is set to close on June 16. The lot also comes with a letter of authenticity from MeiGray Group, adding further provenance to the already historic item.
Whether it is the allure of owning a rare supercar with ties to hockey royalty or possessing the very gloves worn during Gretzky’s final championship moment in Edmonton, these auctions offer more than just memorabilia. They present a chance to own a tangible piece of sports history.
