Default GT/OC 350 on my side stripes. What does it mean?

I just bought a 2007 Mustang GT with stripes. On the stripes at the bottom of the doors reads, "GT/OC 350". Could someone please tell me what the "OC" part means, as well as the "350"? Thank you!

I believe that means it is supposed to have 350 HP at the crank. Im sure the "S" in OS stands for Speacial. Maybe Oklahoma Special. I know there is a CS or California Special.

It's actually, "OC" - maybe Orange County?

As you probably know GT350 was a Shelby model back in the 60s. But the OC, who know's. I'd take it off and replace it with something understandable or without lettering.

I have GT350 on the side but it was custom and the intent was to stay with the retro look. I believe the 68's had GT350 on the side.

You have done a lot more to your car to make the retro look official which is a big plus but you know just like I do some people put it on their and that pretty much the extent of their exteiror mods.

Also usually when they make different names or letter combos it depends on a lot of factor some are based on amount of cylinders, valves cubic in etc as you probaly know wasn't the 350 the same way.

After much research on this, I believe the OC stands for Oh Crap, but I could be mistaken, the research results were vague

Maybe it stands for GT / Overhead Cam 350 hp ???

Just a thought based on a previous post by someone else. Personally I think it should have been GT/OHC 350 if they went with standard usage, per DOHC and SOHC. So it may not stand for Overhead Cam...
