Torinos’ History > Initially known as the Fairlane Torino, Ford’s new mid-sized line was launched in 1968, with a GT convertible pacing the Indy 500. Offering a full range of coupes, hardtops and sedans, the GT line immediately gained attention. 5,317 Torino GT convertibles were sold. Both three-speed Cruise-O-Matic and four-speed manual transmissions were offered.
The full Torino line continued in 1970, Collectors focused on the Torino GT and Cobra series. There were only 3,939 convertibles, making them quite rare.
Ford made few changes in 1971, save adding a luxury Brougham line. The high-performance wars were fading, and the GT recorded 31,641 sales, with 1,613 convertibles. Engines included 302-cid, 351-cid, and 429-cid V-8s.
Ford Torinos and Grand Torinos today are best remembered as stylish and more luxurious alternatives to more common muscle cars. They may not have the same performance as some of the era’s icons, but they still deliver a wallop when correctly configured, and they typically sell at prices that make entry achievable for most enthusiasts.
