Default 66gt fastback

hi have a few questions

I'm pretty sure the only thing that was changed on 289 GT engines was the intake manifold.

My understanding is that the GT option was more cosmetic. You could order C, A and K code engines at 200, 225 and 271hp respectivelyin a GT coupe, vert or fastback. The demand was so great that factory production couldnt keep up and a lot of cars had GT options added at the dealership...genuine GT or not??? The number of restos made to look like GTs adds to the difficulty of identifying genuine cars.

raven, IMO what you need is to identify the genuine K code engine which was not specific to the GT.

good luck
