Default any have bench seat?

i'm noticing more and more that my mustang is the only one i've seen w/ a bench seat. does anyone have pics of a classic w/ a bench seat that has been restored? i was looking at production years for 1967, and out of the ~472,000 made that year, only ~8,000 coupes had a bench seat. so where are the pics of them?
i like the bench seat more because it gives that classic feel to the car, but i think i'll regret that when i take some turns . i'm keeping it though

yes bench seat cars are extremely uncommon, and harder and harder to find. Oddly enough my dad has a 68 390 GT fastback with a 4 speed top loader and deluxe interior,bench seat car. His car they only made 256, but im sure there are less of them. It was uncommon to see 4 speeds in bench seat cars because when you go to put it in forth, the seat gets in the way, and therfore makes it very difficult. Im not to sure how many 67's were made with bench seats, but if i were you go get yourself a Marti Auto Works report on your car, spend the extra money and get the deluxe report, he goes as far as breaking down how many units were sold like you car. hope this helps

My brothers 68 289 Coupe has a bench. I have only seen three Mustangs with a bench, the other two were years ago, a 66 and a 65, both 3 speed I6's

Yeah, the bench seats are fairly uncommon, but not rare. I remember when I was a teen, that there was a reason for a bench seat other than driving.
