So I am considering the purchase of a convertible or Fastback 1970 XL in the next 12 months. I sold a 1970 LTD a few years back when I was laid off from a job.
I’m wondering the pros and cons as I’ve never owned a convertible. I live in Michigan so it’s really a summer car only. Overall plan is for a two tone blacked out hood, 429, possibly stick shift, mostly cruiser, not a serious drag car but I’ll probably stroke the engine, add some meaty tires (possibly minitub?). I like the mean looks of the Fastback, but the freedom of going topless is appealing. Any input would be appreciated, thank you!
