1969 Ford Fairlane
The Fairlane hardtop was the intermediate line's volume leader, while the Fairlane 500 SportsRoof shared its body with the Torino GT, Cobra and Talladega.
United States · researched through 2026-09-23
A Standard Catalog lineage puts the whole 1969 Fairlane-Torino intermediate line at 366,911, of which 129,054 were Torinos; the Torino, Torino GT, Cobra, and Talladega belong to their own 1969 record, leaving this one to cover the Fairlane and Fairlane 500 bodies specifically. Among those, the Fairlane two-door hardtop was the best-selling body in the entire intermediate line at 85,630, ahead of 27,296 Fairlane four-door sedans, 29,849 Fairlane 500 SportsRoofs, 28,179 Fairlane 500 hardtops, and 40,888 Fairlane 500 four-door sedans.1,2
Rounding out the body count, the Fairlane added 10,882 station wagons and the Fairlane 500 added 12,869 wagons and 2,264 convertibles, for series totals of 123,808 for the plain Fairlane and 114,049 for the Fairlane 500 on a separate production table. That same table's own "Production Total" row of 352,439 is not carried in this record because it omits the Torino Squire wagon rows (14,472 cars); adding those back in reconciles it with the 366,911 line total instead. A separate registry breaks the SportsRoof into 22,504 bench-seat (63B) and 7,345 bucket-seat (63E) cars summing to 29,849, the hardtop into 24,800 bench-seat (65B) and 3,379 bucket-seat (65E) cars summing to 28,179, and the convertible into 2,045 bench-seat (76B) and 219 bucket-seat (76E) cars summing to 2,264. No sourced count of 1969 Cobra, Cobra Jet, or Drag Pack cars was found in the Fairlane-badged figures; those belong with the Torino record's own unpublished leads.2,3,4
List prices ran from $2,471 (six) and $2,561 (V8) for the Fairlane four-door sedan up to $3,024 for a V8 Fairlane 500 station wagon, with the hardtop, SportsRoof, and convertible bodies filling in between across both series. A new 250 six, replacing the previous 200, made 155 hp standard; a 302 two-barrel added $107 for 220 hp, a 351 two-barrel $84 for 250 hp, a 351 four-barrel $184 for 290 hp, and a 390 four-barrel $264 for 320 hp. The 428 Cobra Jet, at $444, made 335 hp at 5,200 rpm and 440 lb-ft at 3,400 rpm; the fact sheet lists its engine code as R, while a separate registry instead gives Q for the non-Ram-Air 428, a discrepancy the record notes without reconciling.3,2
A three-speed manual was standard (not available with the 428), a four-speed manual was optional at $194 (not with the six or 302, standard equipment on the Cobra), and Cruise-O-Matic was optional across every engine at $184 for the six and 302 or $222 for the 390 and 428. Further options included $395 air conditioning, a $61 AM radio, $181 AM/FM stereo, a $139 8-track player, $65 power disc brakes, $100 power steering, $100 power windows, a $74 vinyl roof, and, for station wagons, a $47 luggage rack and a $35 power tailgate window.2
On a 116.0-inch wheelbase (113.0 for wagons), the Fairlane measured 201.1 inches long (203.9 for wagons) and 74.0 inches wide for two-door, fastback, and convertible bodies, with a 58.83-inch front and 58.93-inch rear track; base tires away from wagons and GT cars ran 7.35 x 14. Shipping weight with a V8 ran 3,133 lb for the Fairlane hardtop, 3,190 lb for the Fairlane 500 fastback, and 3,336 lb for the Fairlane 500 convertible. Sixteen regular exterior colors were charted, and a separate registry names thirteen further shades not carried on that regular list, without stating which were fleet or special-order colors. Interior trim ran to dozens of two- and three-character codes covering cloth, vinyl, and knit combinations, though the decoder page listing them does not assign any to a specific body style or series.2,3,4,5

Coverage: Partial — researched sections are shown; missing ones are not yet sourced. Researched through 2026-09-23.
Every figure is labeled with how sure we are. Reported means a manufacturer, registry, or reference figure we cite but have not reconciled against factory records ourselves. Disputed means credible sources disagree and both are shown. Rows are separately scoped; don't add them together unless the note says they make up a total.

Rows are separately scoped; do not add them unless a note says they partition a total.
Accounting basis follows the source's wording (built, sold or delivered); the page uses these interchangeably.
No sourced 1969 Cobra, Cobra Jet or Drag Pack counts were found; see the 1969 Torino record's unpublished leads.
Rows prefixed pt- come from the site's production table. That table's 352,439 'Production Total' is its four model totals added, but its Torino model total (32,760) leaves out the Torino Squire rows (14,472); with them the table's body rows add to 366,911, the line total above. The 352,439 figure is therefore not carried as a row.
Rows prefixed reg- come from the fordfairlane.com registry (Standard Catalog lineage). The registry's 1969 total is 366,911, the same as the line total above. Its colors list includes codes the Over-Drive regular-color list lacks; the page does not say which were fleet or special-order colors.

Identification
Read a 1969 Ford VIN
The VIN decoder runs in your browser and never sends the VIN anywhere. How the factory numbered this year's cars:
Same model year
Also in 1969
- AMC AMX The two-seat AMX's biggest year: 8,293 cars by the enthusiast production table, with a mid-year run of Big Bad colors and 52 Hurst-built Super Stock AMXs for NHRA drag racing.
- AMC Javelin Production fell to 40,675, but the 1969 Javelin added the Big Bad colors, with 2,282 cars painted blue, green or orange, plus the Mod package.
- AMC Rebel and Rebel Machine A base and SST Rebel with no convertible. The Big Bad colors were test-marketed through the New York–New Jersey 'Raider' hardtop. This is host-car context for the 1970 Machine.
- Buick Riviera Another record at 52,872 Rivieras; 5,272 had the GS handling option.
- Buick Skylark Gran Sport, GS and GSX GS production fell to 12,465, and the GS 400's Stage 1 package became a factory option while Stage 2 stayed a dealer item.
- Buick Wildcat 67,453 Wildcats; the last year of the 430.
- Chevrolet Chevelle and Malibu SS Super Sport became RPO Z25 option equipment, available for 1969 only on the 300 Deluxe coupes as well as Malibu sport coupe, convertible and El Camino.
- Chevrolet Chevy II and Nova SS is RPO Z26 per the source, with L48, L34 and L78 engines. Enthusiast-compiled production: 251,849 cars; Super Sport 17,564.
- Chevrolet El Camino SS SS 396 became RPO Z25 option equipment, orderable on the V8 Malibu El Camino (13680); the El Camino share of the 86,307 Z25s is not separately published.
- Chevrolet Impala SS Only the SS427 (RPO Z24) remains; the reported count ranges from 2,425 to about 2,455.
- Dodge Charger The second-generation Charger's peak-sales year added the SE package and the aero-bodied Charger 500 and Charger Daytona homologation cars, whose production totals are still disputed.
- Dodge Coronet R/T and Super Bee The Super Bee added a hardtop body and the 440 Six Pack, while the 440-powered Coronet R/T continued as the upscale hardtop and convertible.
- Dodge Dart GTS, Swinger and Demon The low-priced Swinger 340 arrived and outsold the GTS by more than two to one (16,637 against about 6,700), while a 375 hp 440 joined the GTS options.
- Ford Ranchero GT The Ranchero GT carried Torino GT trim; 1,658 GTs were built, per reference-site counts in the Standard Catalog lineage.
- Ford Thunderbird Fifth-generation Thunderbird; only the whole-line production total was found.
- Ford Torino The Torino GT carried most of the line's volume, the 428 Cobra Jet was in its first full year, and the Talladega aero fastback was built in a short run at Atlanta to homologate a NASCAR nose.
- Mercury Comet and Cyclone The Cyclone fastback came as Cyclone and Cyclone CJ, mid-year Spoilers carried Dan Gurney and Cale Yarborough graphics, and the extended-nose Cyclone Spoiler II was built at Lorain for NASCAR homologation.
- Mercury Cougar A longer, restyled Cougar added a convertible, the Boss 302 arrived in April, and the Eliminator replaced the GT as the performance Cougar.
- Mercury Marauder and S-55 The Marauder name returned on a full-size hardtop, and the X-100 carried the 360 hp 429 four-barrel as its only engine.
- Oldsmobile Cutlass, 4-4-2 and Hurst/Olds The 4-4-2 kept its 400 while the second Hurst/Olds, in white and gold with a 380 hp 455, went into production at about 900 cars.
- Plymouth Barracuda and 'Cuda The last A-body Barracuda introduced the 'Cuda name as a stripped performance package with a standard 340, alongside Formula S and a midyear 440.
- Plymouth GTX, Belvedere and Satellite The GTX shared the Road Runner's new Air Grabber scoop and Super Track Pack but sold 15,602 cars, fewer than a fifth of the cheaper Road Runner.
- Plymouth Road Runner A convertible joined the coupe and hardtop, the 440 Six Barrel arrived at mid-year, and the Road Runner reached its production peak of 84,420.
- Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am The last first-generation Firebird, and the mid-year debut of the Trans Am package: 697 cars by the commonly published count, eight of them convertibles.
- Pontiac GTO Three four-barrel 400s under one nameplate, and the first year of the Judge package built around Ram Air power.
- Pontiac Grand Prix A new 118-inch Grand Prix with the SJ and a 390 hp 428 HO: production more than tripled to 112,486.
- Pontiac Tempest and LeMans The last year of the OHC Sprint six and the 350 HO.
- Rambler American and SC/Rambler AMC and Hurst put the 315-hp 390 V8 and a close-ratio four-speed into the compact Rambler hardtop for NHRA F/Stock. 1,512 were built, and the split between the two paint schemes is disputed.
