Unanswered: Strange horn button
At first I thought that someone had changed the original emblem on the horn (the blitz symbol) for an aftermarked one with the letters GT in a laurel wreath. At closer look however the horn seems to be authentic. Can anybody tell me more about this special horn?

I've never seen one like that before. Is there a part # on the back? This way we can see if it has been altered.

I think you may be on the right track, could even be the Ford Torino GT

Torino
I do not believe this is to a Torino GT, the Steering wheel isn't really set up with a round emblem in the center, they used a triangular emblem or Ford crest of type in the center. We recently had 4 of them trough the shop, of course 68-70 models, may be later 70s thing as that appears to be.
