***PLEASE HELP***Very Dissapointed 1989 Ford Ranger GT Owner / Build Sheet / Title

[1989RangerGT]

It appears from Shopfordgeardotcom where I got the "Deluxe" build sheet(which cost more than the Basic build sheet to have the total production numbers for that year and took over 6 weeks to get, which I'm fine with both If I'd got the information they was claiming I'd get with the "Deluxe" Build sheet) it doesn't have the "GT" models listed no production numbers like they claimed it would have. It's almost seems to be Ford didn't keep records of the Ranger GT production numbers or I'm looking in the wrong places I have also went to the Local Ford Dealership and Explained all the details with no luck there either. If someone had an "SS" or "Stingray" or "Cobra" stated on there title then removed I', pretty sure they'd be upset too just as I am. I would think as a smart Buyer I would want to see all the paperwork and documentation all stating what the vehicle is. Maybe I'm different, then so be it I'm jus looking for help to get to the bottom of this for myself. May God Bless

Stingray,ss, and cobra are denoted by vin. Yours isn't. It's up to you to prove you have a gt with the options only a gt had. Ford screwed you there it would appear.

May ford bless

I had a 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra and It stated it on the Title.

You really can't be this ignorant?
Ford said cobras have this digit in the vin.
Chevrolet said an l88, a zo6, a zo7, a zr1 had this digit in the vin
Jeep said this digit denotes a rubicon from a sport
Dodge says this digit denotes an srt8 from a base model...

Ford didn't do that with the ranger gt, it's an option package add on.

I understand you're a little pissy because your vin comes back to an stx, your old title says gt.
File fraud charges against the guy who sold it to you and make him prove it. Of course you would have to explain to a judge what a gt was, and that your bitch was the meanies at the title office laughed at you.

My 1979 hilux 4x4 sr5 says pkup in the description portion, and I'm fine with that.

Look I just want help on getting it straightened out. I don't appreciate the rude & disrespectful comments, But Jesus Christ Loves you and I will Pray for you.

Come on man seriously! Just sack up and move on. You are behind the wheel of a Ford so who gives a shit.

The title for my '94 Cobra lists it as a:

1994 For Mus 2 dr. So what?


The fact that your title does/does not say Ranger GT really won't effect it's value.

Im married to a red head, Jesus laughs at me and flips me the finger every 28 days.
You call it rude and disrespectful where you had abunch of great advice.

I think you're just too ignorant to read what's been written.

May the great spaghetti monster love and cuddle you.

The VIN or a S/N and Build Data is the key. Anyone can "Make" a GT or FX4 Level II or (insert rare trim here) but at the end of the day unless the VIN, S/N or Build Order From the Manufacturer or Builder(Say Roush) says it's a given trim/option package it's a clone.


Now let's cool it everyone yeah?

Hello, good sir and congratulations on your new purchase. Pay no mind to these rude and poor mannered mouth breathers, they do not represent the bulk of this forum. As a fellow GT owner I completely understand your frustration. If they took the GT off my title it would hurt my resale value and generally tick me off. Fortunately, there is an easy way to remedy this situation. While the build tickets for our trucks do say STX there is a special stamp in the firewall where the motor goes against the firewall. Just pull the motor, it's very easy to do on these wonderful trucks, just a few bolts and some wires to unplug. Go ahead and unplug/unbolt everything attached to the motor until you're able to lift it out, you can lift it by yourself if you ate your Wheaties for breakfast. Once the stamp is visible, take the truck back to your Motor Vehicle location and tell them to update the title. My friend had the same problem and this is what he did. Be sure to keep us updated and show off that sexy GT title when you get it!

Well, it's not like you don't have a GT, just because what the DMV says it is, doesn't mean it didn't just magically change itself. Unless you have a regular Ranger and plaster Mustang GT badges all over it. But if you so desire you can fix it, just have fun waiting at the DMV for the rest of your life.

Thank you,
There is a special stamp that he needs to look for.

Thank you for showing that,
However why does everyone else need to be a mouth breather for tryin to help?

Thanks for both your exceptional knowledge, and patience with this guy.

Can you please tell us how to buy a ranger gt without pulling the engine?


For us mouth breathers, use little words please we drag knuckles occasionally.

Because I wasn't entrely sure how to properly spell Cretin, so I chose Mouth Breather instead.

 

[Lariat]

I needed an LOL today. This got it. Off to look for stamps behind the motor on my ranger!

 

[Myanarchy]

And I asked what appears to be the supreme bigot gt cretin, the seemingly obvious to us of ignorance...

How do us knuckle dragging mouth breathers verify that it is in fact a gt in the presence of a discerning seller who might not have anything to hide but might want to stop folks from pulling an engine to verify his honesty?

Please sir if you can actually step off your high horse and answer the original question you'd be way more help since you claim to have the knowledge.
