whats the difference in a 1970 sportsroof vs 1970 fastback?

Looking at buying this car but the numbers came up as sportsroof and not fastback. Is fastback just a nick name?

Nope. They planned one, of course, but the "GT" was cancelled in mid-69. Too confusing for customers, between the

Mustang Sportsroof
Mustang mach1
Mustang GT
BOSS 302
BOSS 429
Shelby GT350
Shelby GT500

The 70 GT was planned to have a "GT" decal above the rear marker lamps.
