I've seen a whole lot worse conditioned Stangs come back to life. That's a sports roof, I believe. It will be a beautiful car when finished.

yeah, I guess you're right...
doesn't seem that bad after I look at it for a while.

I thought the only two models in 71-73 were the coupe and fastback. How is the 'sports-roof' different?

I'll go with the concensus on this.
Restore it!!!!!! It's too nice to be a parts car.

I think you're all right! I will!!

Still wondering about the 'sports roof' - is this a particular model, or does it apply to all coupes?
