I was wondering what the backlite description was, but yeah all the numbers match up from the door, dash, fender. It does read like a convert, but its not....

Hmmm .. after reading since my last post... seems that every option a 69 GT came with was also available separately.. oh well... guess mine is not a GT just a coupe with a few options.

I would be interested to know if my 69 coupe is a GT similar options as yours .. but with a 3.00 rear... 351W 2v with hood scoop. I wrote Ford customer service back in 99 trying to find out if mine was a GT ... I have been told by different mustang guys ... that the size of the front sway bar is the tale tale sign ... big block 1" sway bar on a small block... factory or dealer GT? dunno...anyway customer service sent back the normal build information from the vin but they also sent nice information on the build... i couldn't find a build sheet in the car. built on 1/31/69 with champagne gold exterior paint, nugget gold vinyl bucket seats, black vinyl top with glass backlite, automatic FMX-type transmission, non-locking rear axle, E78x14 wide oval tires, white sidewalls, power steering, power disc brakes, manual A/C, AM radio, complete tinted glass, left and right hand racing mirrors and full wheel covers. I also took a chance and wrote to the name and address on the warranty card still in the glove box... the original owner wrote me back with the history of the car and the only photo she had of her car.... what surprised me besides all the info was the cost of the car ... "the car was discounted from 3,700 to 3,200. Our total cost was 3,304.62" seems like that should have been the cost of a Mach1 .... ... sorry for the long post ... is there a faq on how to tell if a 69 coupe is a GT?

I lived in Boiling Springs SC for several years ... I'm in south GA now. I was a member of The Foothills Mustang Club while I lived in SC. great bunch of people, all kinds of mustangs in the club... lots of technical members from restoration to restomods when I was in. only link I could find http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/foothillsmustang/index.htm I really miss driving in the mountains in my 69! look up Bat Cave and get ready for some 45 degree curves... maybe one day I'll get a chance to use all the suspension mods in the mountains again!:tongue_smilie:
