Personally I love the looks of the fastback. It looks awesome not moving at all, that's why I bought a fastback and why I chose it in this poll.
In terms of rarity, it's harder to find one for sale, so I think the convertibles are rarer.
For me though, fastback hands down.

I have had six Hipo GT fastbacks and convertibles all at one time. I like the convertibles but the fastback is more useful as a driver. When I cut down on my fleet a few years ago, I kept a 66 Hipo GT fastback for a driver.

I agree the fastback looks beautiful, however living in Southern California there is nothing better than dropping the top and cruising the to the beach, and warm summer nights.
That's easy! 1 or more of each! It all depends on the weather where you live/use these cars as well as the color combo of the cars. Many factors that make it difficult to choose a definite all or none answer.
I have a K code vert, but my fastback is so darn fun and much more aggressive looking. The thing about the 'vert is I am always concerned about the darn top. Every time it goes down, it takes time to prevent damage. I always think about how long it's been down and I got it get it back up and taut ASAP. When it's up, is it getting dirty? Having said that, I wouldn't want a convertible for a daily driver car.
I prefer the fastback. I also have a convert but don't even put the top down any more... don't want the wrinkles. It's just not worth the effort either. The fastback is more practical and I like the look better anyway.
Coupes just don't get any respect!

I voted Vert. Not only are they fun with the top down, they look great with the top up, too. They have just the right proportions- long hood, short trunk, and cool little quarter windows. (just like the coupes!)
I voted fastback. I love verts, but also automatics, and the Shelby's were stick and very close to the K's.The chassis is far more rigid. I love them both, duh. They each have their appeal.
Fastbacks are the ONLY way to fly.
I hae both types, although the conv. is not a "K". The fastback is a much more sturdy car to drive, feels twice as responsive as the conv. I love to have the top down and feel the air, but the conv. itelf drives as if it was made of rubber compared to the fastback.

I like them all, but the fastback looks the best.

Hey Larry.
Coupes are convertibles with the roof up and no wrinkles.

Well this is easy for me.
5 years ago my wife granted clearance for a K with one condition...
it had to be a convertible.
Just like many of us did, my kids have learned to sit on their towels in the summer, rather than risking that good old hot vinyl. <img src=images/icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks for the support. Us coupe guys feel left out at times. Hopefully next week I will get to pick up my newly purchsed 66 KGT coupe. Guess I will have to vote for the fastback though since I have a 65 A code and a 66 S code fastback.

What is a 66 S code? Isn't S code a 67?

Looks like a 66 to me. The title says 66. Both the title and car have an S in the fifth didget of the V.I.N. and it'a a Mustang for sure.
Have to chose one of each,as I have one of each.The fastback looks like its going fast just sitting still through!

Neither, I prefer a coupe...

Just look at the fastback. The lines are awesome! I have owned both and I much prefer the fastback.
