THE RED FLASH ------ Master-Moderator
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.

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..

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

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.
