Vehicle Description
The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1968 Ford Torino GT. This
SportsRoof 302 Torino has a 3-speed automatic transmission and an
original feel. In 1968 Ford Motor Company introduced its
intermediate line with a new body and new styling. Along with the
new body and styling came a new subseries in the Fairlane line, the
Torino. Styling was all new for the 1968 Fairlane/Torino, and it
was drastically changed from the 1967 models. The new intermediate
had grown in size and weight, and a new fastback model was added.
The front fascia featured a full width recessed grille, with
horizontal quad headlights placed at the outer edges. Horizontal
dividing bars were featured in the grille depending on the model.
Parking lights were placed at the outer edge of the front fenders
and wrapped around the corner to also act as side marker lights (a
new requirement in 1968). The body sides were smooth with one
horizontal body crease running just below the beltline from front
to back. The taillights were rectangular in shape and vertically
situated in the rear panel above rear bumper. Reverse lights were
located in the middle of the taillights, and small side marker
lights were located on the rear edge of the quarter panel. Fastback
models, which Ford called "SportsRoof," featured a slightly
concaved rear taillight panel unique to that body style. The new
SportsRoof body style featured a gently sloped long roof line that
extended to the edge of the trunk lid. This new fastback body style
gave the Fairlane and the Torino excellent aerodynamics that would
later prove to be advantageous on the race track. Options include:
AC, Hub caps, radial tires, seat belts, and vinyl interior. This To
