idk for sure, but it was most likely a coupe since they made ~20g of those and like ~6g verts.

by the way, i looked up the specs...why was the vert cheaper than the coupe?? i'm guessing because t-tops was the new thing then. but i'm not sure - i wasn't alive then

Back in the day a LOT of buyers didn't want a vert. They were always less on the used market- until vettes were "discovered" by the investors in the 80's. I have a 72 coupe and love it. I think it's one of the better c3's out there- no my car the year~!LOL

ebay #160038101397, says it was the last convertible made in 1972, he has number 27003? Good question, if he is correct the last one would be a hard top.

Verts were always more popular than coupes until the C3. The pop out rear window and the insurance industry were the death of the ragtop for 11 years.
