A Guide to Authenticity for Ford Fairlane, Fairlane 500, Cobra, Ranchero and Mercury Cyclone, 1968-1971. Fairlane GT was Ford's contender in the heavy-weight rounds of the muscle car wars of the 1960s and early 1970s. Introduced in 1966 it wouldn't be until 1968 when Ford restyled their mid-sized line and adopted the Italian moniker Torino, that Ford would be able to land a power punch. Dressed out in sleek fastback styling and powered by the intimidating 429 Cobra Jet, it was the street and race tracks where these power warriors ruled and the legend was born. The names Cobra and Cyclone Spoiler have taken on a different meaning over the years, super car to true classic. Today they remain as some of the finest examples of American muscle cars that were ever built. Ford Torino GT, Mercury Cyclone Restoration Guide 1968-1971 is packed with details, and part numbers down to assembly line paint codes and the differences in interior nameplates, between a Cyclone hardtop and a Cyclone fastback. Loaded with thousands of tiny details, photos, illustrations and charts. This is the must-have guide if you are planning a full restoration, or just want to add more points to your next showing.
