      That's just a regular mustang bumper, GTs received the marchal cut outs, everything else received that bumper, I have two in my backyard, latemodelresto sells them repro.

      The bumper cover shown in the picture is a non GT 85/86 cover, as stated above. All non GT cars received this bumper in 85/86 with the exception of the SVO. Only the GT and SVO cars had the cutouts for the fog lights. The LX or base model cover is usually easier to find than the GT cover in my experience. If you can find a good OEM cover, I would recommend that over a reproduction as the fit will most likely be much better.

      Good Luck!

      here is the car in question. if it is a gt then i would have to assume it has had front end damage and nose was replaced.

      Looks like a GT interior, I see the charcoal paint still there on the side mirrors and quarter window trim, and I also spot a GT body molding piece in front of the drivers side rear tire...so it is very likely a GT.

      The car in question has been for sale for at least a year now. I think it's overpriced....I've seen much nicer cars on this board sell for less money.
