	Ok, i'm looking at a book called Mustang Recognition Guide,
	1965-1973, by Larry Dobbs, Donald Farr, Jerry Heasley, Rick Kopec.
	
	Much of it agrees with what Rex says above, but some conflicts.
	I'll list the ones from Rex's list which differ from what this
	book thinks.

	-Tachometer mounted in the dash

	There was a Tachometer Option which displaces the oil pressure/
	ammeter gauge in the large right pod of the dash.  The tach has
	two rectangular idiot lights at the bottom for oil/ammeter.
	The tach is calibrated from 0-6K on all models but the 289 HiPo
	which got a 8K tach.  Tach also includes a trip odometer.
	This was independent of the GT option.

	-Wood grain steering wheel

	I show this as an individual option also, independent of GT.

	-Floor console

	Again, this shows up as an option separate from GT.

	-Over head console w/map lights

	I beleive this is part of the Interior Decor Option, which is
	the luxury version of the Mustang interior.  This includes :

		Special door panels with aluminum inserts and molded
		  armrests.  The door handle changes to a pull back
		  type mounted in the front of the armrest.

		Special grille in the lower door with courtesy lights
		  in the center of the grille.

		Brushed aluminum dash inserts (rather than the black
		  camera case type).

		Molded seat backs and side shields, plus trim buttons in
		  the seat back cushion.

		Roof console with twin map lights (except convertible)
	
		Bright trim on brake and clutch pedals.

		Vinyl grip insert on automatic shifter.

		Eletric clock in dash

		Padded quarter trim panels (hardtop only).  		

	-GT snap open gas cap

	The snap open gas cap is part of the Exterior Decor Group.
	W/out this group, you got the standard gas cap with the GT
	emblem on it.  The Exterior Decor Group includes the following:
		
		Bright wheel lip moldings.

		Louvered hood with integral turn indicators.

		Bright rear deck molding (standard on all FBs).

		Pop open gas cap.

	Also, the GT option was only available on V-8 equipped cars.
	Oh yeah, it also says GT's came with a Special Handling Package
	with higher rate springs and shocks, and a larger front stabilizer
	bar. 
	
	Hope this helps, like someone else said, going to a Mustang
	restoration house might be the simplest way of finding out.
	If there's anything else you want me to consult 'the book'
	about, let me know.  There's tons of other options and packages.
