I recently bought a '68 Mustang from a guy that says it's a factory original GT coupe 1968 J-code. The VIN confirms that it's a J-code with a 302w 4v and 3 spd manual, it has the GT badges and GT fuel cap, but how can I tell if it is factory original or dealer GT and does anybody know how many of these - specifically the 68 GT coupe (not fastback and convertible, not California Special or High country Special) were made?

Are the rare? Are they valuable?

Here's the VIN codes:
Warranty number: *T01J175402
and 65A D 2BA 29B 24 7 1

There were only 2,847 coupes in 68 with a J code motor and a 3spd. Not all of those were GTs though. Get a deluxe Marti report on the car as it's the only way to tell. If it's real then I would say it is rare but that won't increase it's value much. It's still only a small block plus the 3spd tranny is the least sought after today. I would say the car is more unique than anything.

Thanks, Jay - I'll have to try Kevin Marti. It had a 460ci and a C6 when I got it - so no more small block!
