Default 2002 GT but v6?

Hi, I am going to buy a Mustang 2002 from private owner.
The owner said it is GT model but has v6 3.8l engine.

I searched but all GT models seem to have V8 engine.
Is there special option to have V6 engine for GT model?

Thanks

Nope. I'd probably avoid that one if he says it is a GT but it really has a 3.8.

Probably just a rebadged V6 model. He is trying to scam you.

It's a V6 with GT badges on it.

Ford makes 3 levels of Mustangs

V6
GT
Cobra

Each has its unique features.

V6s are the entry level option, all come, obviously, with a V6 engine. Some may come with leather seats, Mach 460, visual upgrades, etc. But they're still a V6.

GTs come standard with a 4.6L engine, 8.8" rear end, limited slip differential, and come with the same upgrade options as the V6s plus the Mach 1000 option.

Cobras come with an upgraded 4.6L 4V engine, (03/04 supercharged), Mach 460 (mach 1000 option), special seats, and a few other unique cues depending on year.

Well, up until. 1994 the GT moniker designated an appearance package and not the engine size

So technically it could be a V6 GT if the owner put the complete GT appearance package on the car

Well that would be a foxbody and not an Sn95 which I doubt is the case, if it were then it would be a 2.3L vs 5.0 debate.
