For sway bar is this a GT/GTA car or not?  How about the rare competition suspension option?  The Marti report will tell.

thanks for the quick answers, the car is a GTA

A GT/GTA (any engine) will have a 13/16" diameter front sway bar.  The competition handling package and Shelby get the 15/16" diameter bar.

Note that if you have a Mustang with a 390 GT engine and automatic transmission, that does not make a GTA.  The GT/GTA option is not associated with the engine.

thanks John, its a real GTA I have the Marti Report,I also noticed that the GTA and likely the GT had different holes punched in the front fenders for the emblems vs the non GT cars

sounds good - just wanted to make sure you were not mislead.  Yes, the fenders are quite different in regards to emblems.
