Default 1968 GT

ok, well i was driving along today and i spot a whole bunch of classic mustangs sitting on the side of the road in a parking lot. among them is a 69 Mach 1, a 73 fastback and a 73 mach 1, and a red 68 coupe. and also a blue rusted out 69 camaro. well, i was wondering if there were GT coupes back then. it had the GT badges and hubcaps and fog lights. i neglected to get the vin because it looks as if the dash pad had recently been replaced. did they make GT coupes in 68?

well, me and my dad went to go look at it. we go there, he looks around, everything seems fine, he ends up looking at the 73's there more. we come home, and he tells me he doesnt like them. once again....a perfectly good car, he doesnt like. so, i give up, theres no pleasing this man, no car is good enough, he wants me not to spend a few thousand, for something that costs $10k. so i give up searching.... ill just buy a used 90's one, there not that ugly i guess.
