Jose,
There are two different covers. The 65 version has a larger opening for the "bumper" attached to the latch assembly, but the bumper was not used in 1966, so the hole in the cover was smaller. I have both a 65 GT and a 66 GT Fastback in my garage, but I concentrated on the "restoring" the 66, so not too many pictures of the 65.
Pictures: The 65 ready to go, the 66 is "waiting".

Thanks Jim, Phill and Jeff for your support

Definitely I have to manage to use mine with some adjustments as it's the correct one. If someone needs one just send a message and I will send it for free.
Jim I will post some more interior photo's to get your comments...fighting to get red vinyl fabrics for rear seats as I got ones but for the COUPE by supplier mistake.
