Do you consider the 69-70 Mach 1 and Boss cars fastbacks?

 

Do I consider the 69-70 Mach 1, and Boss 302/429 as full fastbacks...Yes without a doubt..

In fact.. both the 69 and 70 models, were not only true fastbacks..But they also became known, as the sportsroof..


The sportsroof also continued on the 71-73 Mustang fastback.

However I personally didn't care for the 71-73's, as their rooflines became too flat..In which it was nearly impossible to see through the rear view glass..I always referred to these Mustangs, as the flatback lol.

I also didn't care much for their size either, as they became too large for my tastes..

 

Good for you, I was gonna try to get you on the sports roof! I guess to me it's just a matter of opinion but I feel that a 2+2, fastback and sports roof are all the same thing. The 65-66 2+2s are the fastbacks of their bodystyle. Though I like the look of the true 67-68 i'm glad they stuck to the 65-66 because I dont know how well the 67' style would gel with modern styling.

Then again the one thing of the 05' I was not a fan of was the back end. I hope the next gen looks like the back of the 69' with the tail lights being three seperate lamps and the actual tail light panel with a slight curviture like 67-69'

 

I agree completely. I'll be interested in seeing what changes are in store for the rear-end. Again, I'd be happy if it looked like a modern iteration of the '67-'68 style, but the '69 looks good too.

 

Well yes, I fully agree the 65-66 2+2 and the current 05, are definitely fastbacks of their bodystyle..Their just not what I consider, a full complete fastback..

Although I've always prefered the styling of the true 67-68 fastback design.. your also right, when concerning how well 67 styling would gel with the modern design, of the 05..

In order for a full fastback to look right, Ford would need to move the A-pillar posts forward, similar to the 67's roofline..Then the roof itself, would also need a flatter angle, before sloping into the trunk/rear of the car..

Otherwise, the car's roofline would be way too flat..And would look more like the 71-73 flatback, than anything else..

And yes, that big J-Lo butt.. has also got to go..

 

most of the photoshop pics I've seen reminds me more of the 71-73 sportsroofs, but then again I've always preferred the 65-66 fastbacks

 

I have seen it.

 

O'yeah!, Barf, or Meh? No need to elaborate, a single word would suffice.

 

OK kilo....just simply point out the Photoshops on this site that are closest to what it looks like in this thread.....every time you see a new one that is closer...put it up too....fair enough?

 

Speaking of photoshop ... I sure do wish somebody would photoshop the former and current body styles in a SPRINT theme (red, white, blue) like the 72 Mustang SPRINTS had.

I don't know how to do that. I'd love to see how it turns out.

 

I did these one a long time ago, don't think I ever posted it though.

 

YOU GOT TALENT ... YOU GOT TALENT ... YOU GOT TALENT ...

I sure wish you'd e-mail this to the FORD DESIGN CLUB and rattle their cages with this idea. I think this package would look SOOO COOL ~ !!!

Thanks for sharing.

 

It's been done...

 

What package is on this car? Do you have any more pics of it??

 

Here's where I found it.

It may be a dealer package. Here's another.

 

That's the Xenon body kit. I have those sideskirts that I'm putting on next spring!

WOW ... Looks real cool ... Thanks for your research !!!

Was this done by Ford, another company, or by an individual on their own car?

I wish Ford would offer this package. I think it would also look good with the current GT/CS body effects.
