A New Top Series, Two Disputed Totals
Torino arrived as the new top series of the restyled Fairlane line, the Torino GT fastback became its volume performance car, and the 428 Cobra Jet was added on April 1, 1968.
United States · researched through 2026-09-23
For 1968 Ford restyled its intermediate line and placed a new Torino series above Fairlane and Fairlane 500, with the Torino GT fastback becoming the volume performance body at 74,135 units against 23,939 GT hardtops and 5,310 GT convertibles as compiled by Over-Drive Magazine. The 428 Cobra Jet became an engine option starting April 1, 1968, mid-model-year, while a hydraulic-lifter 390-hp 427 was listed in factory literature but, per the same compilation, was never actually installed in a Fairlane or Torino; this record carries that as a sourced zero production figure rather than a missing value, since the source states the non-production directly rather than simply omitting a count.1
The Fairlane-Torino line's total production is disputed twice over. Over-Drive states 388,489 cars delivered for the line, while the Standard Catalog lineage relayed by Wikipedia instead gives 371,787 produced, including 172,083 Torinos; this record shows both without preferring one, since the gap could reflect a delivered-versus-built accounting difference that neither source states directly. A second, narrower dispute sits between that 371,787 figure and a registry total of 372,327: the entire 540-car gap traces to the registry's Fairlane 500 four-door sedan row of 42,930 against the other lineage's 42,390 for the same body, a likely digit transposition in one copy of the underlying data, while the Torino and Torino GT rows agree exactly between the two lineages.1,2,3,4
Seven engines were catalogued for the year, from the 115-hp 200 six standard on the plain Torino up through the 335-hp 390 four-barrel GT engine and the new 428 Cobra Jet at 335 hp and 445 lb-ft. A 289 two-barrel V8 rated 195 hp is noted as a substitute engine tied to a UAW strike that year, a wrinkle specific to how that particular engine came to appear in the lineup rather than a routine option. The 390 two-barrel engine carries its own internal contradiction: the engine availability table states it was not offered on the Torino GT, while the accessory price list separately prices it as optional on all models including the GT; this record notes both statements rather than resolving which one describes the actual factory rule.1
Factory prices ran from $2,688 for the six-cylinder Torino four-door sedan up to $3,119 for the V8 Torino Squire wagon, with the three GT body styles clustering between $2,747 and $3,001 for their V8-only pricing. Options included air conditioning at $353, an AM/FM radio at $133, and an eight-track stereo at $128, alongside performance-adjacent items carried only by the separate Fairlane registry rather than the price-compiled fact sheet: a GT Handling Suspension of extra-heavy-duty springs and shocks with a heavy-duty stabilizer bar, a limited-slip differential, a 6,000-rpm tachometer, and FR70-14 fiberglass-belted radial whitewalls, none of which carry a listed price in the sources consulted.3,1,4
The Torino GT convertible carried a specific promotional identity for the year: 709 cars received the 1968 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car package for sale to the public, while a separate 159 cars served as the official and backup pace cars actually used at the event itself, two distinct counts rather than one figure covering both roles. Shipping weights ran from 3,194 lb for the GT hardtop to 3,352 lb for the GT convertible, with the GT fastback at 3,208 lb and the plain V8 hardtop at 3,195 lb; overall dimensions ran to a 116.0-inch wheelbase on sedans and hardtops (113.0 in on wagons) and a 201.1-inch length on sedans (203.9 in on wagons), with GT models running larger F70-14 tires, or FR70-14 with the 427 or 428 Cobra Jet as compiled.1,3

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.

- Plymouth Barracuda and 'Cuda The new 340 arrived in the Formula S alongside the 383, and Plymouth issued a competition-only Hemi Barracuda under order code BO29.
- Plymouth GTX, Belvedere and Satellite The GTX became its own model on the restyled 1968 intermediate body, still with the 375-hp 440 standard and the Hemi at $605, and outsold its first year.
- Plymouth Road Runner Plymouth added a stripped Belvedere-based coupe and hardtop with a special 335-hp 383 as standard and the 426 Hemi as the only engine option, and sold 44,599 of them.
