MustangRanch 14 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 Am I the only one who really prefers the look of the 69 coupe over the fastback? Fastbacks get all the attention and all the love and all the money... but man... they're ugggggly. Am I literally the only person on the planet who thinks this way?

SM69Mach 68 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 To each his own. You are certainly in the minority, but there are some badass coupes out there for sure. By no means do I think any of them are ugly. I prefer the sportsroof over the coupe for the 69-70, but like the 67-68 coupes better than the fastbacks. 1 Dave R. reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigmal 225 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 I've got a mate who has a thing for ugly chicks. Reckons they're grateful. Maybe it's that way with unloved coupes. 4 Mach1 Driver, RPM, Ridge Runner and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 I think you're certainly in a smaller group. I don't like the coupes regardless of year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zach69grande 25 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 you're not alone!! I'm a coupe guy. every year of mustang, most other cars too. I prefer the earlier chevelles and novas to the tear drop profiles. I appreciate the fastbacks.. just always preferred a coupe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAC390 327 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 Don't mind coupes but the fastback is in a styling league all on its own. Sensational. 1 Dave R. reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MN69Grande 203 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 It's funny... I went golfing with one of my oldest friends. Across from the course was a family with a 1969 Mustang SP of some sort in the drive way that was 60% apart that they were obviously working to restore. I pointed it out saying I wouldn't mind another Mustang (I mean who doesn't want another am I right). And he said 'Nah, I'm not into that style. I like the ones like yours'. Mine's a coupe of course. I didn't realize he liked the coupes so much. I have to admit in High School I loved the 1965-68 Fastbacks but thought the 69/70 sports roofs looked squashed. The 71-73 still do look that way to me. I've since come to really like the 69 Sports-roofs but I understand where the Coupe lovers are coming from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted September 15, 2017 Had one for a short time ,candy apple red 69 428 scj coupe shaker scoop .it was a very rare 4 speed bench seat combo. Still like the Fast back more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerC 136 Report post Posted September 15, 2017 Nothing like a low optioned hardtop coupe to modify and build as you please. I like both as I think the 69 has the best lines of all mustangs. Having said that I've kept mustang #3 (my 2nd 69 coupe) over the years and when faced with the choice of the 69 coupe or the 70 sportsroof, when I got out of the AF (I couldn't move both), I chose the 69 coupe. 1st one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fastbacks get all the attention and all the love and all the money... but man... they're ugggggly. Am I literally the only person on the planet who thinks this way? No, you're not alone. I'm in love with my coupe! though, I would love fastback in my collection... I just think the 69-70 coupe's didn't get much attention like the other years where both coupe and fastback were both desired and loved. I wish ford could've could've marketed it better, i.e carrying on the gt/cs or made like an autocross, coupe-like Shelbys. I think the 69-70 coupe are the underdogs.. if done right they can definitely stand out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jholmes217 65 Report post Posted January 3, 2018 I mainly like the sportsroof for 1969 and 1970, but the Mexican Shelby Mustangs are pretty sharp looking. http://www.mustangandfords.com/featured-vehicles/1708-a-1969-mexican-shelby-thats-one-of-306/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
