Hey guys I was talking to my friend today and a question came up.
Is there any difference between a 65 fastback and a 65 2+2?
I thought they are the same thing?

 

All 65 and 66 fastbacks are 2+2 it means 2 people in the front and 2 in the back.

 

Yeh, the 2+2's have 2+2 on them. The others don't. I had to say that.

Kinda. The rear seat folds down in all 65-66 fb's so you have both a 2 seater and a 4 seater, hence"2+2." In 67, the fold-down rear seat became optional, so Ford dropped the 2+2 designation.

 

Actually, I've always wondered the same thing also. Is it Ford's marketing kick? Its on some and absent on others. My I6 65 Fastback had the 2+2 emblem (fold down), the GT's don't. "cmanf", don't beat me up too much.

 

Thanks for the answers guys. I knew for some reason I never herd of a 67 2+2 thats why.

 

Yeah, it was just a marketing deal. They wanted to market to both 2 and 4 seater audiences, so they marketed it as the best of both worlds. As far as the GT's go, I imagine it has to do with trim packages. They probably wanted to give the GT's a cleaner look so they wiped the 2+2 emblem off the side.

 

Ford stopped badging them as 2+2 in 67 but they all still hadfold down seats. They TV ads still called it a 2+2.

 

I don't think Ford ever called it a "fastback", it was simply a 2+2. Correct me if I'm wrong.
