only the flat black was offered, even on black cars which was almost invisible on them

i am 99% certain if it was a 5.0 car , it was a GT, w/ no bodykit, there would not be a price difference between a 5.0 lx and 5.0 GT, unless it was a notch , which would be obvious.

the engine code in the VIN is the "m" for 5.0 which is the 8th digit , a 4cyl is "s"
