Go to the faq at the top of this page and click on that, then scroll down to the link for mustang decorer, if you have the waranty # and the vin# you can find out what the car came with

The VIN won't identify it as a GT. There are some other tell-tale things to look for such as, the GT Equipment Group consisted of the grille-mounted foglamps, power front disc brakes, dual exhausts with chrome quad outlets , F70x14 tires, GT gas cap, the handling package, rocker panel stripes, and GT or GTA (for automatic transmission equipped GTs) emblems. Other options available only with the GT Equipment Group was the Competition Handling Package, consisting of firmer suspension components, limited slip rear axle and fifteen-inch wheels with wire wheel covers.
