Yea I like coupes myself which is why my 69 is a coupe. Yea they are worth a little less right now. A 69 coupe such as mine could easily be sold for 10-12 in my area, so watch what you get in to for 5k. I got a great deal on mine but 5k may need a good deal in body work just to make the car straight.

Well, if you look at the History of the Mustang, the last year that the engines wern't gutted for horsepower was 1972, ( actually 71) 72 was the first year that the EPA regulations came into place and the HP of the Mustang got Nipped by the rating but still the same engines that were used in 71. Ford Noticed the Lagging sales of the Mustang and desided to come oput with the Olympic Edtion Mustang Spirit ( the Mustang to save the grand Ole horse, and What per chance was the Highest produced of those Special Edtion Cars the Coupe, of which I have one, there were only 50 Convertibles of the Spirit made and only 90 of the fastbacks, While I will agree that the head turning capacity of a fastback way out shines that of the Coupe, the Convertible outshines the Fastback as well, but be they Coupes, Fastbacks,Convertibles, 2+2's, Shelby's,Sallens they all are part of the herd and are all as equally impressive no matter if they were the first in the coral or they just made it to the coral. Some just have shinnyer coats than others LOL

8" rear end
Whimelton White and Sky Blue SPecial Olympic paint scheme
Olympic Decals on both rear quaters
has seen lots of setting time under a grove of trees whased her off and she once again wanted to run the fields of asphalt. Still turns them over after all the neglect that she has seen through the years. Just gonna take time and a good Vet to nurse her back a little at a time as we are not all Donald Trump or Bill gates or Chip Foose
