Confused '69 Mustang on ebay

[69grandecj 0]

Seller says it's titled as a '70 but it looks like a '69. Interior though appears to be a '70. He is also calling it a SportsRoof.

 

Also check out the taillights.

hmmm, me thinks there was some creative titling going on there at one point. the body is definitely a 69...notice the ledge where the roof meets the 1/4 panels, 70's don't have those, the roof flows into the 1/4 panels. it's definitely got a 70 steering column and front seats though, but the rear seat looks like a standard interior 69 seat. i honestly think this is the better parts of 2 cars, like a 69 coupe and possibly (?) a 70 sportsroof

So, it's a 69 and 1/2? or a 70 and 1/2? Which one?

 

If it's my call, I'd lean towards a 69, with the front and the rear versions.

 

I'm not hip on the tail lights, but the rest of the car is not to bad.

Well the vin decodes as a sportsroof, NOT a coupe and NOT a Grande so that kills it right there. Too bad, it's not a bad looking car.

I think bnickel has it right, someone made two cars out of one. They even included the extra taillights! (What's up with that anyway? Maybe that's why it turns so many heads)

Yeah not a fan of those tail lights and that BM shifter sure is ugly. No offense to those that have them but I can't stand the BM ratchet shifter look in any car. Big, bulky and ugly IMO. I understand the need for them but man they really look out of place and tacky. I think the stock look is much cleaner looking.

No engine, trunk or undercarriage shots either. Plus the price is a little steep for a 69 (re-titled as a 70 sportsroof at that) with potential title & history issues. It all raises questions not only of workmanship but also the legality of the title especially to an out-of-state buyer who may have to have it inspected. Why wasn't the 69 VIN used? Hot? :detective: I think the current owner is clueless but something don't smell right.

I emailed the seller for more information & pics. We'll see what pops up.

I noticed this was relisted with the price cut $2500. After a couple of emails, the owner still maintains its a late 69 or early 70 with a 70 VIN even after I verified it has the wrong body code. When I saw it last night it had 0 bids and 2 days left. No one's going to touch this one. It looks like someone stuck them with it and may be a hidden reason why they want to sell it.
