Yes, still a "Ford Fairlane Torino GT Cobra" for the 1969 model year. For 1970, Fairlane was the base trim level of this body series, Torino became the middle and upper plus performance trim level model name.
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.

I have a weird fascination with 70s full size cars with four speeds.
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.

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.
-
Thank you, Joe!

I'm tabulating production information for 1964 Olds big cars and am running into some issues when it comes to engine order codes.
In particular, I need to know the following:
L65
L74
L76
L77
L65 seems to be a 260-horse 394.
But L74 is giving me issues because for the Cutlass it's a 330/260, but based on this page, it's a 394/330:
I am leaning towards police engines for L76 and L77, but don't know their output other than they're likely 394s.
Thank you for your help!

May have been ordered by an American stationed in Germany and it was routed to Vietnam?
-
Well, it seems there are both Windsor and NYer Highlander models, and the Windsor traditionally had the 6, the NYer the 8.
-
Your Highlander is a NYer?
Do you know if it ever was available for both models at the same time, or varied over the years?
-
Sounds like a Boss 302 in Brazil?
-
It's been my understanding that T5s were built for the German market and not just any export market.
-
Good information is a little tough to find on this, but I thought perhaps there would be someone here more familiar with this.
Seems like it was somewhat of an upgrade to the New Yorker in 1940, then became a submodel for both the Windsor and New Yorker (depending on the year) thorugh 1952?
Thanks!

This item is a bit difficult to decipher. In total, 1,224 Wildcat Gran Sports were built. How many of them were Wildcats Custom is difficult to read, but it shows 852 were Custom hardtops.

I may have some info. If you list the options (codes will be helpful too), one by one, plus the model/body code, it's possible I can help.
For Sale - 1969 Ford Torino Cobra 🐍 (Ram Air Fastback) $38,800 (Salinas, CA) - Not Mine

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.
