At first glace, looks like a fastback. But it could be a Mach1 with the front spoiler and stripes removed.

Love that color. I believe that's a 70's color "Grabber Orange" on that '69 Fastback (or Mach1). I like it!

i forgot to look at the front spoiler. i think it is a fast back. but i always thought that mach 1 only had the side scoops?

Your car is awesome, I think its a '69 fast back but if you post some side and back pictures i can tell you for sure

I think its a '69 because thats when they switched the front ends on the fast backs, and after that they turned to a mach 1, post more pictures so i can tell for sure.

I want your car!

Looks like a regular fastback. All 69's had the quarter scoops, but the Mach!'s did not have the "Mustang" emblem on the fender....it was a decal strip that ran the side oh the car about 2' wide with the word Mach1 being at the fore part of the strip.

I see no chin spoiler or rear decklid spoiler/wing,unless these items were removed I think it is just a fastback.

Actually in 69 the fastback, was now called the 'Sports Roof'. and thats what I think it is because the mach1 said so on the scoop in larger letters</P>

It is a fastback it could be either being 34 years old new paint and items removed or added on. The best way to tell is to do a vin check on the car this will tell the facts.

im with you


also why were so many newbs posting in the begining.


also dont forget(cant see the pic) just because a car has a spoiler or foglamps or scoops dosent make it a mach 1

they sell all those aftermarket

if every eleanor was a shelby then they wouldnt be worth a dime.


also a mach 1 is a sportsroof. sportsroof just refers to the body style.

now if he said its only a sports roof thats different. sportroof is not a trim option.

MINE ARE RED CIRCLES inside a box.

MACH1/GRANDE/BOSS/TWISTER/LAWMAN are trim options,
There was only 2 mustang models in 69-70 COUPE or FASTBACK (SPORTS ROOF).
One of the best ways to tell between 69-70 models is 69 had 4 headlights and 1970 has 2,these cars look the same. But there is a lot of differences.


+1 on the weird thread, so many newbies and no pictures...?

+1 to sportroof not fastback

look at the VIN, look up the trim code letters, i forget which one it is but I believe B and C are the mach 1's and A is normal sportroof. Or like A is sportroof, B is sportroof with deluxe interior, and C is sport roof with deluxe interior and mach 1 packaging (stripes, paint, mach 1 buckets, etc.) Something like that google is your friend

So theCONVERTIBLE would fall into which of these two body styles?

Some of the things stated so forcefully on this forum just blow me away...

Dave i thought about this for about five seconds and i realize what he was saying is that theres only two hardtop models.
since we were talking about the difference in mach 1 versus sport roof the only logical two choices could be is teh two hardtop models.

obviously if it was a convertible the argument wouldn't even take place.

i think that it was worded awkwardly. but i think that he was saying the only two possible choices would be coupe or sportsroof.

Lawman wasnt really a trim option... it was like2 customized BOSS 429s that toured army bases to let GIs drive them...


my grandfather painted each of the Lawman mustangs.

Ford created two 1970 Boss 429 Lawmen Mustangs for tour to U.S. troops. Only one of these 1200-horsepower beasts survives today, and it was sold to wrestler Bill Goldberg in the 2003 Barrett-Jackson Auction.


info and pics courtesy of themustangsource.com

My grandfather painted them and did the striping and lettering on them. MY uncle got to drive one. If I can find the photos of him doing the paint I'll scan em and post a thread. These were MONSTER cars.

thats awesome, the reason i asked about the green is my friend here at school has an olive green 67 coupe and i told him it was a GIS car.


that car is pretty cool. i wish i was pro wrestler and had the lawman and a dark moss green gt500
