Can anyone clarify if the '72 Gran Torino Sport in the movie Gran Torino is a fastback or hardtop? I understand the difference when referring to Mustangs. But what's the difference referring to Torinos?

In the first link, about 1/2 way down, there's a pic of a red '72 GT "Sport" w/sports roof. That's what is called "fast back" in the vernacular. I don't recall what roof was on the car in the flick, but if looked like that, there ya go... If it didn't, it's not!
