Some people have been getting GT's with the V6 medallion on the back, so I imagine there has been some mix-up going on at the plant. Whoops.

At least the v6 wheels look better than the last gen ones. Although the gt wheels I have seen look like ***.

You should buy that car. It might be worth some money. Don't pay a GT price though.

I was thinking the same thing. If i bought a new GT, i would swap the V6 running pony emblem on there. I just don't like GT lettering on the car.

I took all the GT emblems off my '03 and put V6 side emblems on.

I kind of like the V6 Pony badge on the back - anyone think there will be a way to change them?

I think he was getting at that in the future it might be a collectors item. A V6 that has GT badging from the factory will make it rare and might make it valueable, espically if Ford can say that this mistake was made on vin numbers ### to ###. Then again, he might have been kidding.

Well my cousin call me today and said he saw the same thing at a Chicago Dealership. A V6 with GT badging. Looks like we have alot of Monday morning cars.

Actually, I was semi-kidding. I was thinking about the future and a possible collectors item.
