Agreed, sounds like a GTS. A dealer can add the spoiler before selling it, it's only 4 holes drilled into the trunk. I can't find Hillie16's website, it had a lot of good info.

I have a 95 GTS, and its pretty simple to figure one out. No power options period. No cruise, no fogs, no trunk popper, nada. Base V6 car with the GT drive train is the easiest way to describe one. I have 1 of 1400 and something I think it is. Mines black. I wish I could find a int color break down as well since my interior is red/black.

I have a GTS also, it is in the quonset hut behund my shop. there is nothingpower save for the brakes and the steering. it does have A/C though...no drive train, rearend, or engine wireing. mine is red with tan interior. and talk about clean!

Is there a value beyond a regular GT that these cars hold? If so then i will find the parts and put it back to stock.

If not then i am going to continue with the Carb Roller 351w, 6-speed, Cobra Irs swap.

The only value they seem to hold to anyone is to racers. Due to the lack of power equipment the cars come in a few hundred lbs lighter then a regular GT. So as of now theyre nothing more than a trim level and seen as such.

That's a little generous on the weight difference. My cousin has a GT, 5spd - loaded with options, and his car was about 120# heavier than my car, both with about 1/4 tank of gas and no driver, according to the scale we went to.

Also, any option that could be ordered on a V6 car could be ordered on the GTS, such as fog lights, spoiler, power seats, power locks, A/C, etc... The one thing I know of that didn't change would be the seats, you only got the cloth V6 style seats in the GTS.

I don't want to look on hillies site yet, but IIRC, the only thing that can't be optioned on the GTS is ABS.

Surefire way to tell if you own a GT or GTS is abs.

Correct if wrong.

I have a GTS but it came with cruise control.
I have no powers except the mirrors.

My spoiler is not the OEM one, it has 3 poles (see pic), it was added later on I guess.

I understand that spoiler is a "dealer spoiler", meaning it was added by the dealer after your Stang arrived at the dealership.
