Hey im new to the forumn I was wondering if you guys could help me learn more about my car I have a 95 gts black 5 speed power everything and fog lights i was told by the guy i bought it off of it was a gts and my friends told me it was just a gt without the wing i know the gts had a better tranny and suspension but is there any real way to tell what it is? thanks

I think your friend is right, sounds like you just have a GT without a wing.

The GTS's don't have foglights, power windows, lighted visors..etc. They're basically a base v6 interior with cloth seats. They don't have a better tranny/susp either, it's just the stock T5.

Wouldn't the Vin or door tag reveal this info?

No, they aren't really a specific model. There is no GTS designation anywhere. The only place you'd see it is the window sticker and maybe on an oasis report. The package is called the 248A package.

All it is basically is a base model V6 with a 5.0 engine.....but you could buy a 248A with power windows and other options. The only options a 248A car cannot have is Fog lights, so if you have OEM fogs then it's not a GTS. SUspension and trans are same as normal GT. It's just that the idea is it's supposed to be light.

Here's some info on the '95 GTS. BTW if it is a real GTS, only 1430 were made in '95 in Black.

What exactly is a Mustang GTS? To make it simple, think of it as a throwback to the old Mustang LX's of the pre-SN-95 era. GTS' came standard with the basic equipment that made a Mustang a GT. This included the HO 302cid pushrod V-8 powerplant, Borg-Warner T-5 manual transmission and a Traction-Lok axle. Obvious external characteristics of a GTS are the absence of a rear decklid spoiler, lack of fog lamps in the front airdam and 16"x7" 5 spoke SN-95 "waffle" pony rims. Factory original GTS' will have the "Mustang GT" logo embossed on the rear bumper cover, as is the case on standard GT's, and "Mustang GT" badging on the front fenders. Dual 2.25" stainless steel tail pipes exit the back.

Inside the passenger compartment the GTS Mustang shares the same amenities as the base V-6 Mustang. Seats are cloth and only the drivers side, 4-way power adjustable is an option. Windows and door locks are manual. Only the driver and passenger side mirrors are powered. Air conditioning and an AM/FM stereo cassette player are standard. Visor mirrors are non-illuminated, as opposed to illuminated like the GT and convertible Mustang's. The instrument pod is the only interior amenity borrowed from the GT (7000rpm redline tach, 150mph speedometer, fuel, volt, oil, and temp gauges.)
As a side note, all options on V6 models were also available on the GTS. These options are easily broken down into two categories. Package Group 1 consisted of power windows, door locks and remote decklid release(standard on GT and convertible.) Group 2 consisted of cruise control, dual illuminated visor mirrors (standard on GT and convertible) and AM/FM stereo cassette player with premium sound. 4-wheel antilock brakes, an AODE transmission*, and remote keyless entry* were also options. Customers were able to order GTS' from the factory with as little or as many options as they wanted. Options were also available at the dealer, on request of the purchaser.
Ford did away with the GTS designation in 1996, with 1995 being the only year a true GTS model existed, replacing it with the 248A option package, which deleted many things from the car and made it comperable to the GTS. This package continued to be offered until the end of the 1998 model year. As of late, Ford does not plan to offer a stripped version of the current Mustang GT

So what the verdict, is it gts with a bumper or fogs off a gt, or is it a wingless gt?

Thanks guys and on the autocheck vehichle history report it says gt/gts on it and at first i didnt think it had fog lights on it because he had the black out covers on it an the guy told me when he bought it it already had the fog lights but he wasnt sure if the guy before him put them in I pulled them out because the bulbs kept blowin from water getin in them Do you think i could go to a local ford dealer and ask them to send me a report on everything my car came with and if its a gts?

You could either try ford and get an oasis report of get in touch with thius guy and get a copy of your window sticker showing you what options came from the factory.

The fog lights is a key detail. A real GTS will not have fog, but that would annoy me so i might be tempted to put them on. If ytou can find anything on the car to tell you if they were installed factory or after the fact it would help, but most likely they just found the wiring and hooked up a switch and the lights like OEM.

My friend totaled his 95 Cobra and bought a 95 V6 stang with no options, swapped the Cobra's engine, tranny, most of suspension, and then supercharged it. The joke is its a GTS because its that Forest green color and it has manual windows, locks, and no spoiler ( we added fogs ). Sounds to me like you got yourself a Mustang GT
