The performance parts varied on the GT from year to year - R-Sport front springs, 21/23mm sway combo, chassis braces, etc... About the only sure thing is that an '80 is just a normally-aspirated 242 Turbo. I don't think any U.S. GTs got the lower tie bars.

Limited slips were very rare in any 240 - they were not standard on the GT. 3.91 is the standard rear for all GTs, I believe. 4.10s were only in the earliest B20 and B21 cars from '75 and '76.

Do the gauges look like this?:


These are R-Sport gauges, optional on any 200 of that era, but especially seen on the GT, for obvious reasons.
