- Ok, i'm looking at a book called Mustang Recognition Guide,
- 1965-1973, by Larry Dobbs, Donald Farr, Jerry Heasley, Rick Kopec.
-
- Much of it agrees with what Rex says above, but some conflicts.
- I'll list the ones from Rex's list which differ from what this
- book thinks.
-
- -Tachometer mounted in the dash
-
- There was a Tachometer Option which displaces the oil pressure/
- ammeter gauge in the large right pod of the dash. The tach has
- two rectangular idiot lights at the bottom for oil/ammeter.
- The tach is calibrated from 0-6K on all models but the 289 HiPo
- which got a 8K tach. Tach also includes a trip odometer.
- This was independent of the GT option.
-
- -Wood grain steering wheel
-
- I show this as an individual option also, independent of GT.
-
- -Floor console
-
- Again, this shows up as an option separate from GT.
-
- -Over head console w/map lights
-
- I beleive this is part of the Interior Decor Option, which is
- the luxury version of the Mustang interior. This includes :
-
- Special door panels with aluminum inserts and molded
- armrests. The door handle changes to a pull back
- type mounted in the front of the armrest.
-
- Special grille in the lower door with courtesy lights
- in the center of the grille.
-
- Brushed aluminum dash inserts (rather than the black
- camera case type).
-
- Molded seat backs and side shields, plus trim buttons in
- the seat back cushion.
-
- Roof console with twin map lights (except convertible)
-
- Bright trim on brake and clutch pedals.
-
- Vinyl grip insert on automatic shifter.
-
- Eletric clock in dash
-
- Padded quarter trim panels (hardtop only).
-
- -GT snap open gas cap
-
- The snap open gas cap is part of the Exterior Decor Group.
- W/out this group, you got the standard gas cap with the GT
- emblem on it. The Exterior Decor Group includes the following:
-
- Bright wheel lip moldings.
-
- Louvered hood with integral turn indicators.
-
- Bright rear deck molding (standard on all FBs).
-
- Pop open gas cap.
-
- Also, the GT option was only available on V-8 equipped cars.
- Oh yeah, it also says GT's came with a Special Handling Package
- with higher rate springs and shocks, and a larger front stabilizer
- bar.
-
- Hope this helps, like someone else said, going to a Mustang
- restoration house might be the simplest way of finding out.
- If there's anything else you want me to consult 'the book'
- about, let me know. There's tons of other options and packages.
