Mustang Trivia.

[67 AGAIN]

Ford has used the designation GT/A for the Mustang.
What years was this designation used and what did it mean?

67, GT package with the automatic transmission.

 

[thundr]

I will go with 1968, Cruise o matic. My neighbor bought one when I was in high school. I can remember the logo.
He was not a car guy. It was a beautiful overhauled car, but drove it through the winter. Shame really.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Max is winner.
67 only.
GT with an auto transmission.
Your turn.

Alright, we'll go for dark foxbody history as it kinda tie in the previous question. Max, we recently discussed this so don't ruin it right away.

In 1981, Ford announced to their dealers that a new high performance package would be introduced for the 1982 model year. Literature sent to the dealerships explained that it would replace the Cobra, include similar ground effects and stripes but also included a higher performance 5.0 engine.

While this package was ultimately introduced with the classic GT name that we all know well, what was the initial name/acronym that Ford used for it in their internal marketing?

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Cobra?

 

[92LX302]

Cobra?

No.

"the Boss was back", if I remember right, or something close.

That was on the poster, but not the initial name for the package.

 

[Ohtobbad]

then I am not sure, hmmmmm

Mustang GTS ? Answer came to me in the middle of the night. If it is the answer ?

Nope, the GTS was a SN95 thing.

I'll allow @S197CS to answer if no one gets it within 24 hours I guess.

HINT: It's an acronym associated with a rival car manufacturer. Same initials, different meaning.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Don’t tell me it’s SS or GT SS ?

 

[92LX302]

Don’t tell me it’s SS or GT SS ?

That's a win for Fred. SS as in Super Snake. Kinda made sense for a higher performance Cobra replacement, I guess.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Super Snake sounds much better than Super Sport ?, give me a few minutes to come up with a question.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Previously used up till 1969, then absent from the lineup for a period of time, in what year did the GT version of the Mustang return ?

 

[Ohtobbad]

I believe Max gave us the answer up thread.
1982

 

[TrueBlue02058]

You remembered that so your question ?

 

[Ohtobbad]

In 1965
how many body styles were there to choose from ?
what were they?
