if you peel up the passenger side carpet, in front of the seat if you are lucky the build sheet will be under the carpet. on the bottom of the sheet it will say ZZ:GTPKG. that will tell you straight out if it is a real gt or not. And just for the record, the VIN number will NOT tell you if it is a gt or not. the GT package was a option like ac or power windows. the vin will just say what make model and motor along with a few other things. look up the topic under the search feature or under the rare ranger section of the forum, there is a lot of info on here. good luck to you!
