i never cared too much for the verts. nice if u like that kinda thing but not for me.

kinda like the notches in the 88-93 years. id rather have a hatch.

but back on track, the coupes are just better looking to me

obviously everyone is gonna pick the car that they bought....

i like this line
I went faster on race tracks in a coupe, but the convertibles were more fun.
I paid 4 thousand for for a convertible, and not that i'd sell my car, but it is worth more than a v6 coupe, and is within a few hundred dollars of the same tradein value of a coupe gt.

i'm in sunny socal but i still went with a coupe. the oldschool fastback look is killer. to me, the rag on the verts looks a lil dirty. with the top down, completely diff car.......awesome! if i had a second stang, then i would def consider the vert.

The coupe definatly! Convertibles arekind of OK but the coupe looks way more "Old School" and that is the reason I brought it.

I was never a big fan of verts until I bought mine. It's fun driving around town, and watching everyone stare at you at a red light... Everyone seems to want to talk to you at lights with the top down as well.


or maybe it's a little awkward... I haven't decided yet.

ive always been a fan of the mustang verts.. they are the only car that i think still looks good with the top up... for example the 350zs look horrible with vert tops up...

BUT

i am also a sucker for the 60s model fastbacks so i got a coupe... no regrets here... plus i have considered what mamba said about a targa top...
