Any interest in value

Does a 68 Torino fastback have any interesting value? Don't ever see one, just wondering if there's in outside interest in them.

Lanny thanks for the link, a friend here in N. Louisiana has one he gave $194. For it 35 yrs. Ago. Crazy price I know!! He's had it all this time. Don't know a lot about it, I seen it far off. He says it's a Fairlane, 289. I did not think they were called Fairlanes and were pretty sure they had 302's in them. I didn't differ with him on the engine but I think I am correct. Also it is a Torino not Fairlane I would bet on the name. Red, and automatic, hope it has A.C.. It's not running now,needs freeze plugs. I hope it hasn't been cold enough here in N. Louisiana to have hurt it. I went to school with him a 100 yrs. Ago I hope he will sell cheap being as he gave such a ridiculously low price for it.
 
You had Tornios and Fairlanes share the same body. So it could be a Fairlane. Same body different trim level. Similar to the Australian Falcon Coupes. The Landau was the same body but a different trim level.

I think the Fast Backs will start to be come popular more than the formal roof versions.

Had a freind buy a 68 Brand New, with a new engine called a 428. Wishes he had it now!
 
Ken 1939 I need to look closer at the car to tell which it is then. I didn't know they still had Fairlanes then in 68. Which was the upper level? Could it have the 289? That's what he told me about it. Do you have a link to production break-down #'s. Thanks for reply
 
I bought my 69 Torino GT fastback 5,1/2 years ago for $3500.00. It was 90% complete. I replaced the floor pans and need to spot in about 6 inches on the lower right quarter. My car was originally a 351 Windsor, 4 barrel, with a FMX 3 speed automatic on the column. The engine had been changed to a 72, 351 Cleveland with a. 2 barrel carb. I found and installed an Offenhauser 4 barrel intake that was made to work with the 2 barrel cylinder heads. This car had sat for 8 years in a basement garage with a dirt floor. I have replaced all fuel lines, brake lines and transmission lines. The car has power disc brakes on the front and I have replaced the calipers, pads, rotors and brake hoses. On the rear drum brakes, I have replaced everything except for the backing plates and brake drums. I could list everything I have replaced, but that would take forever. Future plans call for some body work, panel alignment and a repaint. I have been to a lot of car shows and very seldom see any 68 or 69 Torinos. They did not survive well.

Robert, some early Torinos did have a 289 engine. I have a friend who has an early production Torino all original with 289.

I read that somewhere. Apparently there was a strike in '68 at one of the plants, so to keep up with production the leftover 289s were installed instead of the new 302s.
