Need '68 Fairlane Fastback expert tonight....

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.

[DSYenko]

My guess a 421 Super Duty Catalina am I correct?

[Steve_Hoog]

Yes Bud, we need to turn you into a Pontiac man. 62 421 Catalina would be just fine.

In '68 Ford introduced the Torino GT as the top of the line of the Fairlane. Bottom was Fairlane then Fairlane 500 then Torino GT. GT had C stripe as did '69. Fastback model in 500 & GT. Owned '69. Ho boy, it was a January 2 made car. Kevin may remember it if he reads this. Same color as pic above with white stripe.

There also was a regular Torino in the heirarchy. And the '68 had a much different C stripe than the '69. The '68's followed the beltline along the top. This is for the fastback. The coupe and ragtop had the traditional stripe along the rockers.
