Mustang Coupe (hardtop / notchback)

The closed two-door coupe is the Mustang's volume body style and has been offered in every generation. In the first generation it was the "hardtop," the launch body that vastly outsold the fastback and convertible. The Fox-body sold it as a "notchback," and the lightweight 5.0 LX notchback became a budget-muscle icon and a drag-racing favorite. SN95 collapsed the lineup to a single coupe-or-convertible body for 1994, and the coupe has anchored every generation since — the S197, S550, and S650 sell their standard hardtop two-door (badged a "fastback" coupe on the newest cars) as the core of the range.
