Sorry about this silly question, but what is the difference between an 89 coupe and an 89 notchback. I have been looking at some pics online to see if they look any difference and I just can't tell. Maybe the coupe is a little bit longer? Well thanks for the info.
coupe has a decklid....hmm....like say a nissan sentra....a hatchback has a hatch...hmmm...like a ford escort....thats good examples of what HB and CPE mean, but very poor cars lol.
i have an 87 notch and another guy in town has a hatchback. my car has power NOTHING seats, windows, locks. the only mod. i have is .355 gears (and soon to be o/r x-pipe) and flows. i haven't raced him but think i would eat him b/c of the weight difference and he's pullin with .273 gears
i alway thought the notch what lighter in weight(?)
but on the hatch back the whole back of the car is your trunk basicly, and the notch is just a smaller basic trunk.. id go with the HATCH ~!IMO!~
Roadster - 2 Door, 2 seater with no fixed roof (think early Viper)
Spider - 2 Door car with a removable/retractable roof
Convertable/Cabriolet - Any number of doors and a removable/retractable roof
Targa - Any number of doors with a removable roof mid-section
Coupe - 2 Door car with no hatch (also called a berlinetta)
Hatchback - 3 Door car with a hatch
Sedan - 4 Door car with no hatch
Wagon - 4 Door car with a hatch
Ford may call it a sedan, but they are technically incorrect.
Anyhow, a notchback is slang for "coupe" in mustang speak.
IIRC, the difference between a coupe and a sedan has to do with a sedan having more cubic feet of interior room than a coupe. I think I recall the that the mustang notchback/coupe/trunk-car/whatever just edged over the line and had to be classified as a sedan by the car manufacture and insurance companies.
