Default what year is this mustang? {pic}

Id like to buy that mustang....any idea what year and model it is...
im pretty sure its 70-73 but id like to know the year
the hood is throwing me off cause its plain, no scoop or vents....95% of cars i see online of those years dont have a plain hood

It looks to me like a '71, but I don't know for sure, I think all those years look ugly though. Oh well, whatever you're into I guess.

Looks like a '71, Mach 1 style to me.

It is a 1971, but not a mach 1. It is what was called a sports roof, 70's lingo for a cupe. Don't confuse it with the Grandé model that looked the same but came with a full vinyl top and special emblems on the rear-roof pillars. This car will be the lowest performing mustang with a 250ci six banger or if your lucky, the low performance 302.
The ram air hoods were for the 351ci engined mach 1 and boss 302.
Dont spend alot on this one, but it will be a fun car to drive.

cool finally someone who knows what they are talking about.
i think this one doesnt even have a motor in it...
we are planning a full restore...we are planning alot of time in this car
we would put a bigger motor in there.

do you think its a bad idea? i think the car looks great, i love the body shape
i know this is always hard to say but how much should i be paying for this? with and without motor?
the body seems in ok shape...a little rust.

i would love to get anyones responce and ideas.

im confused..
i found that 80% of the 71 mustang coupe pictures i find have an different style grill....no lights in it.

then i find a few that have the same grill....
can they have different grills in the same year? or have ppl changed them?

with lights
