    yeah. heres what ur vin says:

    made in USA
    Ford Mustang
    Active Belts Restraint System (no air bag, seat belts)
    Passenger Car
    Hatchback
    5.0 liter SEFI V8 302 CID 200 hp
    1986

    Yor car is the 34,466th mustang build for 1986.

    Sorry but for these square light stangs ford didnt include weather its a GT or and lx in the VIN. Its probably a gt though, as you state. It was indeed a manual because it has 200 hp.

    The body/buck tag will give you more information. It can be located on the driver side top front of the radiator support. Post that info and you can get an even further break down.

    1986 was the first year that the auto and manual transmissions had the same horsepower rating. Both were 200 hp.

    Although not relavent to the car in question in this thread, some four-eyed Mustang/Capri models/trim levels are identifiable by the VIN alone.

    '79 Mustang Pace Cars (replicas) have a unique production sequence number (starts with 48).
    '79-'80 Mustang Ghias have a unique bodystyle code (04 for notchback and 05 for hatchback).
    '81 Mustang Ghias have a unique bodystyle code (12 for notchback and 13 for hatchback).
    '83 3.8L V6 Mustang GLX convertibles have a unique bodystyle code and engine code combination (273)
    '83-'84 Mustang Turbo GTs and Capri Turbo RSes have a unique engine code (W).
    '84-'86 Mustang SVOs have a unique engine code (T).

    The '79-'81 Cobra is not a model, it is an option package.

    The "base" model hatchback is 15 and the Ghia model hatchback is 13.
