Torino and Fairlane, which captured the
hearts of intermediate car buyers and performance enthusiasts in 1968, are
favorites to be elected peoples' choice again this year. These cars earned
this great popularity among young-at-heart buyers because they are trim
in size, richly appointed, attractively styled, appealingly priced, and
built to perform. Included in the
stunning six-model Torino and Torino GT lineups are a two-door hardtop,
two-door SportsRoof and convertible, all GT-equipped, and a four-door
sedan, two-door hardtop with formal roof and the fashionable Squire
station wagon. Get-up-and-go engines for GT models are headed by the
powerful, standard 302-cubic-inch V-8. The Torino/Fairlane engine lineup
stretches from the standard 250-cubic inch Six to the hot-performing
428-cubic inch Ram Air Cobra Jet. For the more conservative, the Fairlane
line offers eight models - five in the Fairlane 500 series and three in
the Fairlane series.
Newest addition to the all-star cast for
1969 is the Cobra, a rough, tough and ready-for-action "super car". Under
the hood of this impressive machine, available in formal or SportsRoof
two-door hardtops, is a 428-cubic-inch, 4-barrel V-8. Other standard items
are a 4-speed, all-synchronized manual transmission with floor shift
(automatic optional), competition suspension, widetread belted tires,
exposed headlock pins, and special Cobra identification. |
