It gets tricky given the age of the cars in question since so many things can be changed over time.

Back up lights were an option in 65, so if a car doesn't have them then typically you now it is a 65. Since this car does have them it could be a 65 or a 66 model is that is all we are using to determine a difference. Luckily, there is another way.

The other tell-tale difference is the c-scoop trim on cars that have this feature. On a 65 the trim is shaped more or less like the scoop and looks more or less like one big, chrome scallop. On a 66 the factory c-scoop chrome is one piece, but the shape is different with 3 very noticeable horizontal trim pieces that divide up the scoop.

From the looks of this one it appears to be the trim from a 65 model, but even with that we are trusting that the guy didn't add this stuff himself which is pretty common. There are a lot of non GT cars wearing GT trim these days.
