Coupe GT question

[David Ullrich]

I would have to disagree with the assertion that the Coupe GT 2.3 was simply
a running change. The 2.3 package was called the "Special Build" and I have
seen an original window sticker with that exact nomenclature on it. If you
come to the Carlisle Import Nationals in May, it is likely that the car with
the window sticker will be back. Also note that the Coupe GT 2.3 was made
throughout the 1987 model year, not just in the later half. In fact, there
was ONE Coupe GT made in December 1986.
