This is right from Ford's micro film. So it's undeniably a GT with a Q code 351 motor, 4-speed and posi. What makes it even a little more interesting is there was no paint code. It says special paint, Ford # unknown. It was also sold new as a fleet ordered under paint or order #. What does that mean? I dont know but it is interesting. I was pretty excited to find out this was a documented real deal. Once we got it on the lift and verified #s matching I was very happy.
