No sarcasm intended man. The Pink GT350 thing was just messing around. In case you haven't heard, it's been discovered, and advertised serveral different places. Kind of an "Urban legend" thing.

It's yours, call it what you want! Seriously. Unless you try to sell it as something it's not, what's the difference?

*********edit

OH HECK!, are you asking us if it is a real GT? Sorry dude, I thought you all ready said it had a "C" clip front end.

There are two triangular braces welded inside the rear frame rails for the original stock dual exhaust hangers. If they are there, it most likely is going to be a true GT. If not, it isn't... In which case you'd be lieing to yourself and others if you claimed it was.

Sorry man, I really thought you were trying to decide what way to go, not what it really is.

Not enough info. Floorpan and frame have to have the pieces for a factory dual exhaust. These are parts that are nearly impossible to replicate. http://www.karmustang.com/factory_gts.php

read in the mustang monthly:

So with all that said, how can you distinguish a real GT from a fake? You can’t, because dealers in 1965 actually “made” GTs. That’s right. They did just what today’s fakers do: They raided the parts bin and made GTs from standard hardtops, convertibles, and fastbacks. Ouch. This truly adds a certain murky quality to being able to tell a real GT from a fake. Why? Because the Mustang community considers these GTs to be legitimate due to the fact that they were cobbled together at the original-selling dealer.

you want a gt right...make it one
