Really happy to see you giving the Fairlanes and Torino's the love and respect they deserve.
Well done Dennis. They are both great but I love the Torino. I have a 69 Mercury Cyclone CJ428 Marti verified 1 of 1.
Mercury’s can’t be bought cheap any longer. I’ve owned 3 cyclones, like the styling of the cyclones
Rare these days 👍
The Mustang must be restored to stock!
When I was a kid one of my cool car guy neighbors had a Raven Black, Gold C-stripe '68 428 CJ Torino fastback automatic console car as his FAMILY car. He had wanted a Mustang, but he needed more space for his kids. I was so jealous of his kids getting to cruise around in that car! He left it stock with the factory chrome 10 hole steel wheels - his one change was a pair of Cherry Bombs installed at the local K-Mart auto center. It sounded so cool. He kept it forever, his kids even got to use it on their prom nights.
When I was a kid my father bought a 69 Super Cobra Jet Torino off the show room floor. It was candy apple red with a front bench seat.
That's rad af
Bet you wish he had kept it!
@@johnmilligan2964 I was 8 years old at the time and just taught the snakes on the front fenders were cool. Now I know just how cool they really were.
James Moore thanks, the next year I bought a new 1970 Coronet 500/383/4 BBL/ auto= deluxe int/ ps/Pb, et ( NO AC)actually a strong Car: BUT I,PASSED ,not buying:AMC MACHINE LOADED, 70 CHALLENGER RT/ SE **REALLY *LOADED Magnum/ 4SPEED.. there was a DODGE/ AMC DEALER NEXT DOOR TO PHARMAXY WHERE I WORKED, ETC. IN retrospect, I should have got the RWBLU Machine AMC, or the Challenger ( thiugh it was way over optioned)...
For a long time.I didn't know that the Torino had a model Cobra. I am a Carrol Shelby fan. One of the true American Icons. That took it to the world of racing. Then won! But the Torino Cobra is just a cool Muscle Car. I had a 70 Torino with a 302. Dark green with Black Comfort weave interior. Not a Muscle car but a neat body style. Shawn.
Restore the mustang and upgrade to a locking rear.Keep any other upgrades period correct. Seeing the Torino made my day.
Parents had a red 69 Torino with 428 Cobra Jet and ram air. It was an automatic with red bench seats and the stripes were white. It was a runner and sounded great. He even used it to flat tow our 66 Shelby GT 350 to the drags!
That Torino is exactly what I would have for my dream car! Just beautiful and amazing!!
I was lucky enough to own a 1969 R-Code Torino GT 428CJ from 1971 to around 1980. It was pale yellow with gold stripes. As I recall, the stripes on this car continued in a straight line all the way across the rear quarter panel. The car in this video has the stripes following the upper curve of the panel. Damn I wish I still had that car!!!
Correct, it seems that this '69 is a repaint with '68 GT fastback stripes.
The main differences between the two years it the stripe top like, the centered and crest surrounded grill GT moved to the drivers side, and this '69 is missing the "mesh" under the tail light panel brightwork bar. I've owned several '69 & '69 GT fastbacks, including one of each at the same time.
Btw, the oddest stripe was in '68. A heavy band that followed the top of the body line while the bottom of it followed the '69 GT's upper line. Sadly that one was a PA rotted out parts car only
@@BloodRaven196968 had rear reflectors on rear quarters 69 had lights on rear quarter.
Thank you Dennis... You just proved my point
A little over a week ago I talk to a gentleman who had a set of Magnum 500 wheels that a friend of mine wanted to buy the Magnum 500 wheels had a Ford stamp in the wheel indicating date code, plant and shift where they were made.. . I asked him if he could tell me what those numbers were told him where they were and he could not verify that they were there... I told him if they're not there then they are probably Cragar knock-offs I asked him to take some pictures of the insides of the rims which he said he couldn't do at the moment he also said he had the Magnum center caps separate but they didn't fit (another indication)..the man told me I didn't know what I was talking about, we ended our conversation..
Two Incredible finds two amazing cars I hope someone will restore the Mustang to original condition, thank you for your amazing content 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love Ford!!!
Loved this! I now own a 69 Ford Torino that my Grandfather bought new in 1969. I really want to get it set up to be a reliable driver that I could take anywhere. He has the original 302 in his garage but right now it has a 428 CJ in it. It has under 70k miles on it. I also have a photo of me sitting under the hood when I was about 4 years old.
Great story
You've got a 429 CJ! That's awesome! I've seen a lot of people build them with 428's but it's usually not a real cobrajet. Usually it's pulled out of a truck or an LTD or something. Very cool!
Lance Goulet The 428 we put in it is the Police Interceptor.
@@jk_stogievol4885 You've dropped in an Interceptor?!? It doesn't get any cooler than that! That's almost as good as if it was originally a cobra - and might be "cooler" than if it were a cobra. I grew up in Canada - live in California now - and have some friends who were in the RCMP. They tell me the stories of cop cars not being "street legal" in the 70's are true!
Lance Goulet What’s cool about my Grandpa’s, I have heard stories of running “shine” and I know for a fact growing up at the drag strip, my grandparents both use to drag race my Torino. My grandpa also still owns a 58 Ford that does have a 428 CJ in it.
I've been into muscle for 25 years. Every car I've come across, was the rarest car. One car had an OEM scratch from factory, it was crazy rare. I still remember that rare car. So so rare. Like, I can't even explain how rare it really is... or was. I've loved these cars so much over the years, I always sell them so someone else can enjoy them.
I'd like to see the Mach 1 get full on restoration with the fresh air option. Buy whatever you do it will be awesome
I agree with all other posts; restore the Mustang. I had a '69 while in high school back in the early '70's. Truly loved it and of course, I regret ever having sold it.
I've always loved the Mach 1 as I owned a 1970............but that Torino is really special.
When I was 24 years old and in the USAF stationed in northern CA I bought a new 69 Torino in dark metallic green with the gold stripe came with an FM stereo radio and BF Goodrich radial tires (which were both new things back then). The interior was black vinyl and without a/c. Was it hotter than hades in that car. When you closed the door on your Torino it had the same tinny sound mind had. As a side note, being in the military and a non-resident of CA I could take delivery of the car in NV and not pay CA sales tax (NV did not have sales tax back then). With a local Ford sales guy with me (had to pay $25 for him to accompany me) we drove to S. Lake Tahoe, NV to have a letter notarized (in NV) stating that the car was delivered in NV. After that, the salesman wanted to go to a casino and play Keno for a while. I had never been in a casino or ever played Keno so I said what the heck. On the third ticket I played, I won enough money to pay off the car. What memories your video brought back to me.
Growing up in a 72 Torino I've always had a soft spot for them...But this 69 is just absolutely Incredible!! What another Incredible find Dennis!!!
I love that Torino, it’s beautiful
Dennis, I really enjoy and get a kick out of your excitement describing the rarity of your many finds but, honestly I have never understood why (other than for investment and hopefully future profit) people trip over themselves lusting to own low production, specially equipped cars when for a hell of a lot less money you can buy the exact same car and enjoy using it. My first eye opener on this ‘disease’ was when “Corvette Restoration - The State of the Art” hit the book shelves and I, as a Vette owner, discovered the extent that enthusiasts would (will) go to to own a car that will end up as eye candy, rarely if ever to be driven.
It's called Dragon Fever. Depending on the human, it can strike on any given item. It can be cars, gold and silver coins, houses. Basically anything.
Treat yourself and keep that Torino Dennis. Not everything needs to be sold and no harm in keeping a 1 of 1 for a little while 👍 manual gears, right up your street 👍
With current interest rates, cars like the Torino are better than money in the bank
In 1977 I bought a 69 Torino GT Sportsroof with a 351C 4V 335/365 HP, dual exhaust, C6 /w T handle floor shifter, 9" Detroit Locker /w 350 gears, factory fourth leaf spring, Wimbledon White /w Red C stripe, Red vinyl interior /w bucket seats, factory armrest console, and factory AC, FoMoCo AM/FM stereo system /w four factory speakers. Man, I miss that car.
Had a 69 Torino Cobra, EVERYBODY that I let drive that car loved it. Even my grandma liked riding in it.
I’ve had over the years many Fords but the special ones you should keep ..and I didn’t it was a 1970 Boss Mustang , 302 , four speed , shaker hood and all the extras it also was a yellow with black strips . Looking at these two R code cars brings lots of memories back . I still have plenty of Fords around .Dennis you keep teaching us about these great cars .
In 1978 I bought a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra with 429scj drag pack, brown with tan interior high back buckets, Am 8 track 4 speed close ratio. I've also had a 66 Mercury Cyclone GT with 427 4 speed, it had aluminum bumpers front and rear, fiberglass decklid, hood, and front fenders from the factory. I had in early 90s a 67 Fairlane GTA with a 428cj in it. It had 12.5 to 1 pistons and long duration/high lift solid lifter camshaft. I have owned six mustangs and a 68 Mercury Cougar XR7, but have always liked Fairlanes and Torino's. First real muscle car was a k code 65 Fairlane Sports Coupe. I would restore the r code mach back to factory even with the open diff. Too rare an optioned car to do otherwise.
Dennis, what a couple of Kick Ass Fords, that Torino is Bad to the Bone, Love your Coffee Walk Videos, keep up the good work.....👍👍👍👍
My high school car was a white with black vinyl top 69 Cougar XR-7. It had a 428, C-6, and from what I could find, every available factory option. Green leather interior, 4 wheel discs, am-fm 8 track, a/c , etc. I sold it when I went into the Marines. I find out now it might have been rare. All I know is this. If I win the lotto. I am going to build a replica. I loved that ride!!!
Having both these spectacular Ford's in the same shop at the same time makes my head spin! In my view the Mustang should absolutely be restored to original!
Still won’t be matching numbers even a warranty block
@@bartschwartz7217 That's right, I was assuming the drivetrain was there just not installed. If the original engine and trans isn't there the restomod for sure!
Warranty block means it’s was not repaired but with paper work is accepted but from looks of engine bay was raced hard and motor pulled for another car and body parked for possible later use
NOTHING like this but one of my favorite all time cars was a 68 Torino GT. This was in the mid 70's. Bench seat. The girl sat beside me while I shifted that 4 speed with the 390 4 barrell under the hood. All I added were headers and thrush mufflers, of course hijackers and traction bars, merely for the look. (Old school. lol) I had so many cars looking back, 64 Falcon, 69 Mustang convertable, 72 Duster, 72 Nova, 68 Mustang, 65 LeMans, and one of 500 Fiero GT's, JUST to name a few. I kick myself daily for selling them and moving on to the next car. Wish I would have kept them all. Oh, and I know the fiero wasn't everyones cup of coffee but I loved that 6 cyl on those eagle gt tires. It would fly. LMAO
My neighbor in Virginia had a 1970 yellow Torino GT hideaway lights and SCJ..4speed....Very gorgeous car very overlooked cars in my opinion...it was low mileage and one owner.... The guys name was Orse Shelton....
Very Cool Torino. I have a replica1974 Gran Torino Starsky & Hutch that is so correct, down to the correct Police radio used on the show, that Revell used my car for the Revell plastic model that came out a few years ago. The picture on the top of the box is a picture of my actual car that was taken the day they came to take pictures, measurements and video. I even have the invoice from Revell with my name showing that my car was used in the making of the plastic model. I know it’s not a Boss 9 but for a poor guy like me, it’s definitely a GYSOT! Moment for me. Thanks for the cool videos!
These cars were amazing. Had a friend who had a 69 428 coup Cobra jet, Ram aIr with an automatic on the column. dreams.
Had one of those 1969 Torino GT(s) in High School. 302 V-8 and three on the tree. Loved that car. Northeast Ohio 1979 so it already had body panel cancer. Probably no longer in existence. I always wanted to put the shifter on the floor but grew to love the 3 on the tree!
I love all muscle cars!! I don’t care who built it! These are awesome!!!
I love the hardtop 1969 and 1970 Ford Torino GT and Cobra Jet body's. Something about a big muscle car I just love. I know the pony muscle cars are lighter and I love them too but it's something about the Ford Torino, GTOs Ect.
One sharp car when done. Brother-in-law had a 68 with the 428 black in color man that car moved. This was 45 yrs ago it was still like new he traded it in and the dealership took that motor out of it and kept it. And put I think it was a 351 into it. And it was a 4 speed.
All BOSS 429’s used the 428 Cobra Jet platform. It had all the heavy duty parts right off the assembly line. As far as I know, the 428 was not installed on the assembly line. The Cobra Jet Mach I was sent to Kar Kraft to alter the shock towers, install the BOSS9, relocate the battery to the trunk. When all was said and done, the BOSS received a special Id tag #. The wheels were either steel with hubcaps,
magnum 500’s.They did not come with the rally wheels.
It’s too bad Ford didn’t do the same with the Talladega.
I have a 72 gran Torino. Grandpa passed it down to me. Could let it go for the right price
The Torino brought back some memories. I had a 69 429 GT that I rolled 5 times on a mountain road. It was white with black interior.
A 69 did not have a 429 ! They came with 302 , 351 , 390 or 428 !
You ever heard of a engine swap smartass.
Stephen Brown then why didn’t you say you swapped engine and trans because the trans is also different ! Maybe you just don’t know the difference !
My old man had 2 '69 428 Torinos. He rolled the first one in '72 in Tennessee on a gravel mountain road. While still recovering and heading back to his military base in Georgia he flipped his 2nd one end over end off the highway. Both times he was drunk.
@@thomasdaum1927 quit whining
The one thing that stands out on that torino is that it has the wrong stripe. The c stripe is correct to torinos, but this one here is only for 1968. I think theyre the better looking stripe so I understand why someone put the 68 stripe over the 69 stripe.
Yep and the 68 stripe does look better. BUT I think the Mercury Cyclone stripe looks better than either of the C-stripes!
@@lancegoulet8100 oh youve definitely got a point there! Those stripes are the best looking. I almost put them on my own fairlane fastback they look so good!
Man, that Torino look excellent for its age. Sweet cars!
Dennis es realmente un placer escucharte, lo profesional que eres y lo mejor es que compartes. Saludos desde Mexico.
Love the show, nobody knows more then you about mustangs, I owned a black on black 66 at the time I didn't know that it was a K code 289 matching numbers at the time, sold because got married and needed the money.i loved that car and I will never have one like that again.its painfully just thinking about it, your a great guy and wish you much luck. Keith Erickson 😎
Nuff said....BlueOval .First On Race Day!!!!!.
Dennis Rocks!😎🤘Ford power baby!👍🙌🕊🦋🕊✌️😊
Dennis. U blow my mind with all that knowledge u have,are u no u are a generous,your videos are out of this world 🙏🙏😉
Growing up I always lusted after my neighbors’ 69(M code GT). Asked to buy it several times, one day it was gone 😢 Next year he passed away and left 3 houses.
Didn’t have any kids so the government took them. It was here in SoCal during the housing boom, so they were worth millions….
Denis, you find the best cars and trucks! Love watching your videos of these rare finds. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next one.
Currently in the middle of a 70 Torino GT M Code, shaker, console, bucket, hidden headlight, a/c, off white lazer. Also came through Dallas and lived in San Antonio it's whole life but was molested. Beautiful cars. Love the rear end of that 69 body style
I know this is a lot late but I love stock Mustangs. Man I love them old Fords.
i love experts like this guy.
When I was probably 10 years old, a neighbor used to go up and down our street speeding in his white Cobrajet. One day, my neighbor (a Nassau county cop) walked out into the street with a shovel or something similar and threatened to bust up the guys car if he didn't slow down. Sweet ride.
Cool car, I once had a Springtime Yellow GT with 428CJ RA, 4 speed & open 3.50. In the '70s I used to get the aluminum intakes from ex-police cruisers, still have one on my Cobra.
The Marti report indicates 2313 Raven Black, '69 Sportsroof Torino GT, 40 had the Comfort Weave bench seat(that doesn't agree with other report). Those numbers are for all GT Sportsroof. Incl 302(std engine), 351 two & four bbl, 390 and 428CJ with/without Ram Air.
In the mini report, 57 of the 428CJ GT were black & one had Comfort Weave bench seat. So yes it is one of one.
Order listed as "RETAIL", meaning someone walked into dealer, completed order and likely placed a deposit. In other words, car was sold when ordered. Waynesboro VA is a smallish city in the mountains just off I-64 near Staunton(Statler Brothers). In 1968 I-64 was yet to exist in completed form. Would be surprising if Paul Freed Inc(dealer) sold a half dozen 428 Mustangs & Torinos combined.
Apparently only options are the 428CJ Ram Air, 4-speed, T-L 3.50 gear, upholstery & Visibility Group. In features(may or may not be options) Marti only lists Traction Lock, Visibility Group & std WW tires.
The outer grille sections are incorrect, ones installed are metal versions from a Fairlane or maybe Cobra model.
In my experience 428CJ cars had open rears about as often as not. Optional on all models that did not have Drag Pack. Probably ran short is a old wives tale. If T-L was ordered, build would be held, then scheduled when available. Non performance dealers seemed to order without T-L & probably checked off a clock instead of tach in dash.
Love the Torino. My dad had a '69 convertible with a 390/4spd.......I will get one some day.....
I stopped at a car lot that had a vehicle almost like your torino. Color seats, trany, but the engine was a 390. I tezt drove itjust for grins. It was fun to drive.
Mine was stolen. 1970 Mach 1 OT05R102329 Glad that you guys still have yours.
Love the raven black color. It’s a special shade of black which looks especially good with the red interior.
His knowledge about the cars is top notch and he's not going to beat you up price 👍👍
Another great video, Dennis; two really cool cars. Every Friday, I look forward to a new Coffee Walk. Love the muscle cars, but I’ve been a Jeep guy since college - bought my first in 1984, a 1980 CJ 5 in dark green metallic. It was in perfect condition, 1 owner, totally stock, with black interior and soft top. The engine was only a 4 cylinder and I think it only had 3 gears, but it worked fine for my needs. What made it “rare” to me is it had a 40/60 split bench seat, up front. I’ve never seen one since. Man, I loved that Jeep; sure wish I still had it. Keep doing what your doing and thanks for all the videos! Bryan in Richardson, TX.
Thanks Dennis. It's cool to see the history of 60s/70s cars.
Dennis you're like a walking dictionary of automotive You're great and I love your program I just wish I had that Mustang.
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching!!
I still have my 69 cobra-coup, 428,4spd,3.50 trac-loc enjoy driving it once a week,,still gives a good feeling in seat of the pants,👍👍
Dennis is a pleasure to watch on his enthusiasm and knowledge. Apparently no hate on different brands either 👍
As an owner of a 68 Fairlane, i love seeing videos of cars from the 68-69 fairlane/torino's! Thank you Dennis!
Always love the videos. I gave up on brand loyalty long ago (I like a little of what nearly every manufacturer has to offer). But I have a small stroke each time someone says "posi-trac" (GM) instead of "trac-loc" for Fords, lol
Have mercy Momma--that is a gorgeous Torino GT. Crazy place for the oil filter. People chase Chargers, Impalas and Chevelles, but how many of these do you ever see?
You are very notable about the car codes, you remember what every number and letter stans for without looking it up amazing
We do have to thank Richard for introducing Dennis to the world. Dennis, do you have the original drivetrain for the Mustang????????
Beautiful job finding those rare cars. Original only
Looks like the engine is long gone on the Mustang R code. So might as well resto mod, IMO. Thanks for the sharing these amazing cars.
I came here to say this exact thing. Since it is no longer numbers matching, put a Coyote or a Voodoo in it.
I had a 1969 Torino GT Fastback that was red with the white c stripe on the sides and a hood scoop with turn signal lights built into the scoop. I had just gotten out of the Navy and fell on hard times in 1986 and had to sell it for 500.00 so I could keep a roof over my head. I should have just bought a tent instead!!! I'm a disabled vet rated at 100 percent and want my car back. 😂
I do enjoy your coffee walk show.
It is what cars are all about. High class and informative unlike the other show you cameoed in. Keep up the good work.
Dennis, the Marti report you have for your '69 Mach 1 was interesting to me. In the mid 80's I owned a '69 Mach 1 that was optioned very much like yours, T red, white deluxe interior with fold down back seat, etc. Mine also was 428CJ, 4 speed , shaker hood, p/s, p/db, It also had full console, and tilt-away steering. The thing that got my attention was the power ventilation, my car had that. If the Marti report is correct, then we have found the two cars that had it. I've been in the Mustang hobby nearly 50 years, and to now, my '69 Mach 1 was the only one I had ever seen that option on. My car was sold new here in Huntsville,Alabama by Woody Anderson Ford, and to the best of my knowledge, is still in this area.
Dennis, I aspire to be a walking vin decoder like you! Very impressive stuff! Keep up the amazing content.
Wow the pic of the law man Torino, if thats Dennis he looks older in the photo than he does now. Mind blown
In 1974 while stationed at MCLC Albany Georgia I owned a 1969 Ford Torino SCJ raven black convertible
Very cool video of the Torino & Mustang! One of my friends back in 75 when he was 16 was racing his 69 Torino it was white & flew off the street through a residential fence & into a tree! It was a sad waste of a beautiful car!
Yeah if you had original motor and transmission for the Mustang you gotta do it stock. I’d definitely put a locking diff on it though. I’d try to get the Torino back to stock except I’d keep the intake and carb.
Your videos are awesome, but your shop is even better!!
Back to stock most definitely I get a kick out of seeing the cars in their original manufactured condition the best way to go I think
In 1975 I was 15. I cut up a very rusty 68 Torino, 427, close ratio 4-speed, 391.1 Detroit locker, to build my first legal car. 64 Falcon. It lasted 3 weeks. Windshield shattered hitting 2nd gear.
~'O those were the days my friend~! I wish my 70 Mach I 428 had lived, but I sure had fun (and won alot of races); during the day, I sold car insurance, by night I did not ...
40 years ago there was a black raven in southern nh very nice car. I noticed it because I had a 69 Fair Lane GT myself. They actually painted the raven green.
Got a 69 Torino GT sedan body 351W 2door. My 1st car since 93 and been in the family since 80. 3rd owner. Can’t wait to invest and give it a facelift.
Thank you for showing these very cool cars.
best used car salesman ever some rust on the floor easy to fix lol
Always great knowledge. Thanks Dennis.
Torino is awesome & finding a 4 speed is very hard just not many. i had a 69 Torino GT 428scj but not that body style, paint was like very soft creamish yellow. had all the Torino badges & i had so many people ask " is that a Fairlane or Fairlane/Torino"? love those cars
I had a ‘69. Torino GT - I really wished I hadn’t sold it in college. It was an M code if I remember right. 351 Windsor with a 4barrel carb (it was a cast iron intake. One of the coolest things was the turn signals on the hood scoop- you could see the Ford insignia in the corner of the light if you looked close 😀
They really are "absolutely beautiful". I got a 72 mach since high school and I just love the fast back lines. I bet if ford brought it back they could not make enough of them. I would buy a new one today.
Absolutely great I love the old fords. My first car was a Ford Galaxy 69 with a 429 four speed car positive trac.
Denis, great information on these rare cars! Mind blowing seeing that 1of 1 Torino.
Thank you!
He’s a great salesman on top of everything else and expert at reading tags without having to look them up ⬆️ go Dennis ! You rad my man
Restomod the Mustang. There are a bunch of totally restored R code cars. Make this one a modern day version of how an R code car can be built. Maybe a fuel injected lumpy cam big cubic inch Ford, modern 6 speed, 9" with 3.50 TracLoc, and modern suspension. Add classic designed wheels in over sized proportions, with modern tires, and badass exhaust.... now that would be cool.
Love your passion and knowledge on these old cars Dennis.
So...
You’ve built a very successfulbusiness , owned the best of everything ... muscle , classic and supercar.
If you could pick one ultimate classic, muscle car and modern supercar to keep forever what would those three cars be???
Oh and what was your favourite beater? The not about the money ,about the fun you had in it car?
I had a 68 gt convertible 390 -c6 automatic with the buckets and console.I loved that car
Hi Dennis, I think a factory restore would be the way to go on the Mach 1. Including new candy apple red paint and white leather interior (stunningly beautiful)... However, I would compromise on just one thing....- (you need a new dash anyway), so please fit air con so the new lucky owner can enjoy the full comfort of regularly driving this wonderful, wonderful car. Live long and prosper my friend.
The Mustang is just to rare to restomod. Except that in Texas it really needs AC!!!
It’s half a car-missing the engine and transmission. It’s not possible to do anything BUT a restomod, unless he leaves it as is, as an example of markings, stamps, etc. Even if it was a date-code correct block and trans done to exact factory specs, it’s still modified.
Could be wrong but I don't think the ford motors have serial numbers to match the car.
@@jaycalgary7 I believe you are correct, as long as the casting numbers are like C8 or C9, but I don't what the suffix should be, on the block, or whenever the original introduction date was for the 428 CJ it should be fine. If a good block can be found of course.
@@jaycalgary7 ; The vin is on the rear driver side of the block, just below the head. :)
My parents bought a 1969 Ford fairlane candy apple red 2 door soft top fairlane is as I most certainly know is the same as a torino All I know is that that car was the car that I grew up in and it had a 302 auto and was fast.
