GT 350 or 300????

Mar 21, 2005 37 Replies

I saw an '05 GT rolling around yesterday. It had racing stripes on it and a stripe on the bottom that said GT 350. It almost looked like it said GT 300 though so that is possible. It was very good looking, It wsa silver with white striping. Anyone have any info on this??? Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT



I saw a silver one with charcoal stripes (gorgeous combo), at highway spd. (the other way), and did see a stripe job like you're describing. Circumstances prevented me from getting a good look at the rocker stripe, but I did see... something... I dunno, I'm intrigued too. So the only actual info I have is that it was apparently not a one-off =)

There's a guy who works at the local Mustang shop who bought practically the first GT to arrive in CO. He's got his lookin' like a Herts GT350 but the stripes say GT281H. EESH!

practically the

I agree. While the Hertz color combo and stripes might be okay, putting the GTXXXH moniker on there is sorta tacky in my book.

Oops, meant Hertz

I agree! I'd use the word "cheesy" but hey "tacky" works, too!

Anything is possible with those stick on numbers from Wal-mart :p

LOL. I can't talk, I have enough stickers on my car to run the Daytona

500 ;)

I've thought of getting the following sticker for my '67...

"My Other Car Is A Crappy Old Tempo".

I wanted to get my other car is a lightning, and my other car is a mustang for my vehicles.

That would certainly be better.

But seeing that on a slick '67 coupe I'm sure would elicit laughs, though. =)

It's a dealer applied sticker/applique/whatever you call it. I've seen a few of them around.

Are they there to help hold it together? Oh oh oh... that's right, to make it go faster.... i forgot.

Maybe the recent problems you had with it were the car trying to commit suicide out of pure shame.

I need one that says "My other car is a tractor"

Well I like it. I like the "SS 502" badges on Malibus, the "5.8" badges on Mustangs, etc. The only objection is the "GT350" did not refer to engine size. GT350's came in 289, 302, and 352 ci versions; no such thing as a 350 ci Ford.

Actually, thats not why they named it 350. They couldn't think of a good name for it and they decided that they would call it GT something. They figured the distance from them to the door across the way would be a good number. It happened to be 350 feet. Thats where they got the name from. I may not be 100% accurate but it was something like that! Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT

Yeah yeah yeah!! I know Kate. Fact is though, I kinda like the stickers I have on it. I have "4.6L V8" on each side of the hood scoop, my C stripes that were on the car when I got it(I like those alot), and also I have reflective black fill-ins for the bumper letters on the rear. Not too bad I guess, but I think they are tasteful! :) Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT

352? The 352 cid version of the FE was never offered in the Mustang.

Indeed, a Shelby Mustang with a 352... and of course, they were also available with blown 289s.
