They are not all the same. '85 GT uses a group 56. Starting with '87, Ford switched to a group 58.
Some of the stores have incorrect listings that say the 58 was used in the earlier cars, which is why
so many have broken battery trays. Don't let anyone sell you a 58. It doesn't fit the tray.

X2!! 1985 used a 'group 56'. My '93 uses a 'group 58'.
