Hi Stu,Hey Phil,
Just a shout back to ya, prolly a Z question, but do you have any idea why they discontinued the GT option after only two years? Was it low sales maybe? Well, with the gfx. Y'all actually had an GT in '87 that was without gfx, but then they were added. And changes had to be made to the gfx for the new '89 body style, but then it was gone in the '90 brochure, tho you can find early order books from dealers that showed it available, but the revised ones had it removed. Any recollections on it?
Thanks!

The Ranger GT was one of these go fast, strike while the iron is hot and get out when the hype dies. Always viewed as a short term product run and Marketing decided it was time, and so it was. Bye GT. Make sense?
Best,
