Greg, I agree that, upon first glance, Lime Gold is not rare--after all, it was Ford's most popular color for 1967 and may have been up there for 1969. But if you glance at the Marti, it shows to be about 6-700 for the fastback, which is about 7% of fastback production. I'd guess that's middle of the road for colors for that car. FWIW, I don't think the bench/auto combo is remarkable. Don't forget, the Cobra was the response to the Plymouth Road Runner, so many cars came with bench.

This is actually not true at all. The 1969 models went as follows: Fairlane Cobra Fairlane 500 Torino Torino GT There was no such thing as a “Fairlane Torino GT Cobra.” In 1970, it went like this: Fairlane 500 Torino Cobra Torino Torino GT Torino Brougham …and the 1970.5 Falcon was slotted beneath the Fairlane 500.

The Cougar was a pony car. I don't think there were any full-size 4-speed cars built in the 1970s.

That car is not a Torino. In 1970, it was a Torino.

If I do, very little, and everything is in boxes because I just moved. To keep your hopes in check, just take that as a no as I'm mainly into postwar stuff. I think I still have these ads, though.....

So what happened?

Sorry for the late reply--had a move to a different state, and only now am I catching up. I can see where my confusion is from, as the body code I mentioned is not a body style but just a code for the chassis. Sound right?

Unless I'm mistaken, I never addressed body styles....? Anyway, I can post some stats compiled from GM Heritage Center docs.

You should start here. They probably will charge you for research. https://sloanlongway.org/automotive-research/ I also may have some info, but not exactly what you want. For example, is your car 8457? 8439? 5,232 Limited 2-doors and 18,625 4-doors built. I can tell you how many by interior option if you wish. I don't have any info on two-tone numbers.

Roberta, Roger (7-Litre) is the impetus for the research and Terry found the ads. We're simply coming full-circle now. 🙂 I hope you're doing well.

Thanks.....apologies!

One is Renault, the other is Chenard & Walcker. Also posting the backs. Ads are far from perfect, but if you frame them or what-not, it should improve the presentation. Can take detailed pics upon request.

Cool....I'm compiling production statistics for some select options.

Ha! While I have your attention, do you know what the body code 860 is? I can't find it, so I'm guessing it's a long-wheelbase chassis.
