A notchback is a coupe and a hatch back is the ones that have no trunk and the back opens up.Don't know what a vert is never heard of it.

Hope this helps!!
vert=convertable, notchback=car with trunk, hatchback=car with hatch (has glass hatch in rear instead of conventinal trunk).

First one is a hatchback second is a notchback

[Calponycarsmike]

The Hatchback has a hatch, the coupe has a trunk, and the convertible is a coupe with the roof hacked off by ASC

it's rare, but a t roof notchback is out there in a barn somewhere.

the verts are the heaviest, then the hatchbacks, then the coupes come in at the lightest of the three

Really? I thought the convertibles would be the lightest?

Since the mustang is a uni-body design (No big heavy steel frame under it.), it relies on the roof and floor pan for its support. Convertables have extra supports running through the floor to stiffen up the chassie thus making it heavier.
