Vert Or Coupe?
Big D,
Had to get the coupe. Back in 1969 my Dad bought a 69 fastback.
He gave it to me when he thought his car craze days were over.
I kept the car till 85, sold it. I've dreaded that day ever since.
Promised myself I'd get one again, but never did. So you see there is no
choice for me! It's got to be a fastback.
The 05 Mustang GT is closiest that I will get to a 69, in a new car.
Later, maybe a 69 project! Who knows!
Happy Trails!!

Love them both... went for the coupe because it came out first, it's in my price range, and a vert would be useless most of the year here in Michigan (it's my daily driver as well).
I ordered a Vert, but I do like them both. The one thing about the Coupe that I really love (that I will NOT have with the Vert) is the design of the windows by the back seat. The Coupe really does capture a "classic" style.
I had a tough time choosing what I wanted. All the way until the dealer asked so that he could punch in the order. I have always loved verts. My mom had a 64 1/2 gt vert and now has a 66 gt vert. But the insurance is cheaper on a coupe, the coupe costs less, it's safer, and the roof line of the coupe cannot be beat. I love them both but, I love that roof of the coupe too much.
Without a doubt, fastback. Otherwise get a 1999-2004 because they pretty much look alike and you can save money. Now I wouldnt mind to have a vert as a 2nd car if my wife would have one but otherwise fastback is the way to go. Just like others have said you loose the retro look to it with the vert.
Now if Ford was smart they would produce a vert with the option of a removable hardtop or retractable top. But.....they would be just too much of a good idea and more money in their pocket. Go figure.
