is it a real GT? - Page 2

I've met a few guys that had GTs that were "fake" but felt that the GT options were probably added by the dealership based on owner recollections and the cars history. I guess it does not make it a GT in a true sense, but it is kind of fun to figure out what was added and when.

68 was the first year you could get the GT with a 2bbl V8. So the GT in 68 could have any engine except the straight 6.

From the sales literature, 1967 seems to be the first year you could get the GT option with a 2V 289. The 390 came with a 4V. If you have some definitive info on this, please post it.
