German Engineering

[David]

You mean an 86 Coupe GT Commemerativre Edition? The CGT CE was the one with the red leather interior & digital dash. It was an appearance package only. The 87 "Special Build" was the Coupe GT with the 2.3ltr high compression engine (NG code) and a bunch of other performace goodeies. It's known on the list as the 87.5 CGT.
