I love my 69 but you cannot go wrong with either a 67 or 68. There are a ton of aftermarket parts available for the years and if you plan on restomodding or just restoring one to stock either would be great options.
If I had the money my mechanic has a 67 GTA Fastback in his shop I would by myself.

They make a way that you can buy a brand new frame and all the body that has serial issued from ford...has anyone tried or considered this, I was wanting to do it this way so there was zero rust and so I could build it from the ground up. Or does anyone know where one reasonable is, I've looked at the 69s and like them but I like how the 67 is that medium size and not so big and as boxy

I would disagree if we are just talking a bare bones fastback..The eleanor craze has put the 67s into crazy money...If you can't find a 67 the 68 is a very close next best thing for that purpose...
The 69 and 70s do have some very expensive models when you consider the boss and CJ models..The 69s are a little more "muscular" looking in my opinion.

And I agree that the '69 fastback does look more "muscular". It's my favorite looking mustang, and I wish I could have afforded one...

The Shelby hoods were different for a 67 and 68.
Also, 71k fastbacks were made in 1967 and 42k fastbacks made in 68...fyi. To compare with 132k fastbacks made in 1969 and 87k fastbacks made in 1970*.
