History of the 1968-1976 Ford Torino

Initially known as the Fairlane Torino. Ford's new mid-sized line was launched in 1968. with a GT convertible pacing the Indy 500. The cars never carried the Fairlane name and soon became known as Torinos. Offering a full range of coupes. hardtops and sedans. the GT line immediately gained attention for its handsome fastback body. which echoed the Mustang. but with an even more radical roofline. While only 5. 17 Torino GT convertibles were. sold the fastback coupe notched up 74. 35 sales. and the two-door hardtop a further 23. 39. Engines ranged from a 210-hp. 302-cid V-8 to 325-hp/390-cid and 360-hp Ram-Air 428-cid mills. Both three-speed Cruise-O-Matic and four-speed manual transmissions were offered.

The super-slippery fastback was an immediate hit with NASCAR and David Pearson took the 1968 championship. A Torino Cobra series was introduced for 1969 and the semi-sloping SportsRoof model would lend its lines to the Australian Ford Falcon of Mad Max fame. Meanwhile. the aerodynamic Torino GT Talladega Special was built in limited numbers for homologation and 754 were sold with the 428-cid Cobra Jet motor or the even more powerful 429-cid V-8.
