Interestingly, that's not a Grande. That's a Mustang Hardtop with vinyl roof. A Grande would have a "deluxe" interior with lots of woodgrain, houndstooth cloth seating surfaces and completely different door panel design. It would also have black vinyl between the tail lamps and Grande badges behind each quarter window and on the dash. The VIN would also have "04" as the 3rd and 4th digits (I found this car's VIN in another listing), instead of 01.
It's a common misconception that all Hardtops (i.e. non-Sportsroofs that aren't Convertibles) with vinyl roofs are Grandes, but they're not. However, all Grandes are Hardtops with vinyl tops.

I'm definitely going to keep my eye out for a real one, though!

I have one, but it's a mechanical work in progress and not 100% original, due to previous owners...
