was it a V6 from the factory? if not, why would it have a V6 bumper?

No, my car is tagged and titled as a GT but for some reason still came with a V6 back bumper from the factory. I guess it was one of ford factory screw ups. I met the original owner about a month after I bought it and asked them if the bumper had been replaced and he said no that he thought it was weird too when they bought it in '97.

When I bought the car it had the factory 96-98 GT emblems on it, I switched out to the '99+ GT emblems because I was looking for something a little different. I am thinking about switching them again because these are starting to look old now.

IMO the stock emblems for 97 look better than the 99+ but thats just me. your car is fine though... even with the V6 bumper ;D
