Just curious - how can you tell by the VIN of an '05 Mustang whether it is a GT or a V6?

What does "T80", a "T82" or a "T84" code mean (5th, 6th and 7th numerals/letters in the VIN)?

If you want to see if it's a GT, open up the hood.

Hard to do when the car is 180 miles away.

It's from the Ford Fleet website. It also has the charts for '00-'04.

Good question. I was wondering the same thing.
Are you thinking Cobra? Or some S/E model?
