It should be possible to determine it exactly. The overall height was
always specified even if the ride height was not. A little difficult on a
roadster because of the variability in hood frames but a GT should be exact.
Jack each corner on a flat and level floor until the sills are parallel to
the floor and an equal height from it and the highest point of the roof is
at the specified overall height figure. Then measure the axle centres to
bottom of trim strips. Depends on being an original shell, of course, sill
and wing replacement could well put things off. Since the ground clearances
of the roadster and GT are the same one could assume that the ride heights
would be the same.
