I tried looking in the 40 years of mustang book but I couldnt find what i was loking for. Whats the difference from a 69 coupe and Grande? I found a 'shell' on craigslist for $100 and was trying to figure out if it was worth it.

 

I think the Grande was more of a "luxury" mustang. Upgraded interior and amenities. I'm not sure of the specifics.

 

Yes grande was the fancy car vinyl top different interior most of the time it think the later ones had power windows.But in the end its still a coupe so its not really worth a lot so buy it if you like it and got the money.

 

well for 100bux it isnt a money issue. i'm not sure that I like the vinyl top idea is it easy to remove permenantly?

 

Should be easy to remove if it is in bad condition.

 

Its just glued on you can take it off easy but hope there no rust under it since ford glued them over primer only no paint.

 

the guy who is selling the shell is out of wilsonville, i believe. He is not someone to do business with. The grande's of the period were as the guys here said, just a luxury model. They are pretty nice, but the shell he is selling is more trouble than its worth. I wouldnt do business with him, if its the guy im thinking of.

 

oh, so you've met him? I figured as much. especially since it was so cheap and he was not willing to give me any pictures. thanks for the help, I guess I'll just keep dumping my cash into the 64 for a bit more.
