Here's a couple of interesting, easy to read charts comparing Mustang sports roof/vert/coup production numbers. The second chart vs the other guys "fastback" production #'s:

I'd like to see it broken down even further. Separate grande from coups and mach1, boss, shelby from fastbacks.

Interesting that the 71 Torino's numbers dropped and then recovered.

72 was a completely new car for the Torino line and they sold incredibly well. Sales went from 300k-ish to over 500k.

I never understood that. The 70-71 Torino was a much better looking car, I think.

Nonsense. I've always liked Ice Cream and beer (obviously not together).

In 1977 I was 17 years old. My 1970 sportsroof mustang suffered a blown transmission and driveshaft, don’t ask how, lol, I was 17. I needed a new car. I answered a local newspaper ad, it read 70 Torino, 429, 4 spd. $1275. Obviously 429, 4 spd caught my attention, although, at the time, I didn’t know what a 70 Torino looked like. A friend had a 69 Torino GT, I figured it looked like that. As soon as I saw the car, I was a done deal!!! As I arrived at the car, I was looking at a calypso coral TorinoCobra, black out hood with a shaker scoop, magnum 500 wheels, I didn’t know anything about engine codes and such, but this was a J code drag pack car. I paid $1150 for it and drove it home. The car had 77k miles on it.
By the way, 1970 Torino was Motor Trends car of the year.

Right car, right time I guess, combined with the "new" factor. Sales were about the same in '73, which was the highest production year for Ford ever with 2.35 million vehicles.

My brother has a 72 Torino Q code 4 speed with air. Rare vehicle with air.
I sold it to him 20 years ago brought it up from Colorado all original tired paint and interior but drives great.
