what year is this Torino?

Falcons are not rare. Hi-po Falcons are. In fact, I believe 351-4 Falcons may be rarer than CJ Falcons.

But I'd rather have a Fairlane 500 with a CJ over a Falcon any day!

442, I was referring to Hi Po falcons. That said I cannot remember when I saw ANY 701/2 Falcon recently

Wierd, never knew they were essentially Torinos.

That actually looks like a 1970 1/2 Falcon. I have one myself. My great aunt bought it brand new and gave it to me back in the early 90s. My car is a light blue, blue interior, 250 c.i. 6, auto. Dealers actually stuck torino emblems on them back in the day to get them to sell, because they didn't move as fast as normal torinos. My car had both the falcon and torino emblem on it. It still has most of the original paint and my great aunt never changed anything on the car's exterior as long as she had it.

Andy's right - they're properly 1970.5. The 1970 Falcon is a compact car.

And I don't know how my response was not in the same context?

There were two 429 Falcons in magazines this summer. They made just over 200 of them, I believe, but they are familiar to the magazines. How many CJ Fairlanes have you seen in magazines? The editors will skip these for the Falcons when it's the Fairlanes that are much rarer . . . and more interesting to me!
