Default 1967 Mustang GT coupe/hardtop with manual transmission?

I would like to know if Ford ever produced a 1967 notchback/coupe/hardtop GT. I've seen GTAs (a GT with Automatic transmissions) and GT fastbacks but how about a coupe GT with manual transmission in '67. I know 3spd and 4spd were available. I believe the GT package was fog lights in the grill, horizontal stripes just above the rocker panels on both sides and the rear valance was notched out for the twin rolled exhaust tips right?) Seems a likely configuration, if this configuration did exist, any pictures you could share would be greatly appreciated!

A manual transmission was available in any body style GT Mustang.
Coupe, convertible, and fastback in 1967

Right, it's just that I can't find 1 picture on the internet of a manual trans. GT coupe... I'm putting in a T5 transmission into my '67 and it will be a GT clone, would there be any differences in how a GT vs. GTA looked as far as rocker panel stripes, lettering etc.?

Is the only difference the badge in the rocker panel stripe - instead of GTA it would say GT?

Thanks all.

Great, thanks for the info and picture! Was the chrome wheel well trim and chrome rocker panel covers part of an exterior package as well or just an option?

Exterior Decor Group
Included a hood with rear-facing louvers that housed turn signal indicators Wheelwell Moldings
Pop-open Gas Cap

My first post was not clear the Aluminum Finned Tail Lamp Panel was an option but you had to order the Exterior Decor Group to get it.

Also the Bright Rocker moldings were only standard on the Fastback in 1967 and were not included on the Exterior Decor Group, they were again an option for Coupe and Convertible.

In a nut shell, yes that is the only difference in appearance

Not according to the Mustang Recognition Guide, Mustang Restoration Guide and Mustang Does It, Books. All 1967 Mustang Fastbacks came standard with Rocker Panel Moldings, but they could be deleted, just like the rear wing on Mustang GT's today, it is standard equipment, but you can special order it with wing delete. Rocker Moldings were optional on Coupe and Convertible with the exception of the Indy Pacesetter Special Edition it got its own narrow rocker panel molding.
