L'auto era a tutti gli effetti una C-code.
Ma sia per l'anno che per il mese (Aprile 1965) e lo stabilimento, ho scoperto che l'auto usci' dal concessionario con il Kit completo GT.
Tra l'altro aveva persino il famoso "Rally-Pack" in tinta con gli interni e non di repro. Come pure per console, volente e porta oggetti. Tutti originali GT made in USA, ovviamente anche Fog Light e scarichi originali.
L'auto fu acquistata 1 mese dopo la sua produzione, in California il quale proprietario nel momento dell'acquisto volle far installare tutti il pacchetto GT prima ancor di ritare l'auto.
Tieni presente che appunto, il "pacchetto" GT per i modelli 65-66 era solo un allestimento puramente estetico.
Era possibile orinarlo separatamente all'acquisto del mezzo e fu disponibile solamente dopo l'Aprile del 65.
Quindi una Mustang-GT del 64 o prima dell'Aprile 65, non poteva trattarsi di una GT "originale".

vedevo che su ebay la vendevi come vera GT, pensavo fossi riuscito a confermarlo, cuoriosit? dopo averla vista da Andrea, tutto qua...
How to identify 1965/1966 factory GTs:
Ford celebrated the first anniversary of the Mustang by introducing the GT Equipment Group on April 17, 1965. The first documented GT was built on 2/20/65. GT stands for the European abbreviation of ?Gran Turismo? or ?Grand Touring.? The 1965 Mustang GT equipment is a combination of Performance/Appearance package, and could only be ordered on 8-cylinder Mustangs.
Tip #2: The Interior Decor Group (Pony) was introduced at the same time as the GT Equipment Group and could be ordered as an option. This included luxury trim, woodgrain appliqu?, ornamentation and deluxe steering wheel, 5-gauge instrument cluster, courtesy door lights, padded visors and chrome trim around the pedals. Not all GT equipped Mustangs had Pony interiors, nor were all Interior Decor Group vehicles GT?s.
Tip #3: Not all cars with the A or K code engines were GT?s. In fact, only about 4% were original factory GT?s.
Tip #4: The quicker ratio steering box that was used on GT?s will have a code of either ?HCC AX? or ?HCC AW?. The tag is easily visible bolted to the top of the steering gear box. These codes do not guarantee that the car is a factory GT because you could order the quicker ratio apart from the GT in the special handling package. However, a code of HCC AT for the slower gear ratio of 27:1 means that unless the box has been incorrectly changed out, the car could not have been an authentic factory GT.
Tip #5: All 1965 and 1966 GT?s were factory equipped with front disc brakes. The disc brake master cylinder will have a master cylinder cap that clips on, while drum brake master cylinders have a screw-on cap. Disc brake master cylinders are approximately twice the diameter of a drum brake master cylinder.
Tip #6: Only 1965 GT?s came factory equipped with a bright hood lip molding. All 1966 Mustangs were equipped with this molding.
Tip #7: All GT?s were equipped with fog lights. The factory switch to turn them on was located on the underside of the dash, just inside the driver?s side door. When the switch is flipped on, both the fog lights and the rear tail lights light up. Non-factory GT?s with the fog lights added typically are not wired for the tail lights to illuminate when the fog lights are turned on.
Tip #8: The earliest documented GT was built on 2/20/65. If a Mustang was built much before that date, it is unlikely to be a factory GT. Go to the Mustang?s door data tag and look at the build date. If you are unfamiliar with build date codes, check out the date code article on our website. If the door data tag is missing, write down the VIN number that is found on the left front fender apron. Jim Smart & Jim Haskell?s book, In Search of Mustangs provides build date data that will allow you to determine within a few days as to when the Mustang was produced. Certainly close enough to determine if the Mustang could have been a factory GT.
Tip #9: The glove box door on both 1965 and 1966 GT?s is flat and carries the mustache at this upper edges.
Tip #10: 1965 GT?s came with a standard gas cap while all 1966 GT?s came with a gas cap with the letters ?GT? on them.
Tip #11: GT?s were not available with bright rocker panel moldings.
Tip #12: GT?s were not available with quarter panel ornaments, which on non-GT?s were located in the sculptured area behind the front doors and on the quarter panel.
Tip #13: On 1965 GT?s the back side of each fog light is secured by a nut. In 1966, lights were secured by a stud screwed into a housing, which is also how the reproduction lights are built today.
