The LX's are standard base models and the GT models are the more "performance" model.

GT stands for "Grand Tourer" or "Grand Touring".

And here's the best definition I could find on LX mustangs

Ford's other LX models during that same time period had repeatedly been referred as being the luxury version. While the base Mustang had never been advertised as "luxury", unless you can prove to me otherwise, it would be safe to assume that the LX designation meant the same thing across all of Ford's lineup.
