What is the difference..........I can't seem to find any.  I know what the hardtop cars look like, but all the literature that I look at either says sportsroof or fastback........they seem to look the same to me.  Is there a difference?

 

Thanks

I allways thought those names were interchangeable ,but I'm not sure.

Actually just today I read something somewhere where they were referred to as the sportsroof fastback.  In most other literature that I had read it was labeled as one or the other. 

Oh, by the way, I just talked to a guy that has a NOS or mint Montego hood for sale.  Not sure what year.....but could put you in touch if interested.  Sounded like it had scoops on it if I remember.

sportroof and fastback are the same thing. the torino was originally known as a sportroof, the mustang the fastback. but over the years the two terms have been used for just about any ford car with that body/roof style.
