Torino GTs from 1968 are really nothing to tell your friends about unless they have a CJ. 390s are not exactly rare, and they are stones in comparison to other mid-displacement cars of the period. Engine code should be an "S" if a 4bbl. They never made a 427 in that body.

Bud,
not sure there was a 68 Fairlane GT. The 390 was not necessarily a hipo motor either. Now a 68 Fairlane 427, that would be worth picking up!

Here is a Fairlane 500 Fastback for $800. http://www.collectorcartraderonline....4/77145284.htm
