Identifying a genuine XY GT,what to verify

The XY GT is one of the most faked Australian muscle cars. To verify authenticity, you need to cross-reference the compliance plate, the body number stamping on the firewall, and the engine number. A genuine GT will have a build code starting with 'GT' on the compliance plate, and the engine number should correspond to the correct Cleveland V8 for the build date. The VIN on the dash, the body stamp, and the compliance plate must all match. If any one of them has been tampered with, walk away. The Ford Heritage department can verify build details for a fee. It's worth every cent on a car worth $200,000+.
