This model had amazing features like bucket seats, duel exhaust, a big 400 cid motor, the 400 HO performance option and also having option for Ram Air induction.

Another Ford car in the list of top American classic cars! The Torino designation was an option package for the mainstream Fairlane models until the year 1969, when the Torino became a separate line of cars by the Ford. There is often a debate regarding its naming convention as it is also sometimes referred to as the Torino GT or Fairlane Cobra.

There were two kinds of body styles in this line of cars- a hardtop (or formal roof) and the more common fastback (or sports roof). It had standard features and speed, Ram Air option which accelerated the performance peak, locking rear differential and other such amazing features. The fastback version was more sold than the hardtop version.

To keep up with the rising competition from other manufacturers in the market, Ford introduced this car as “purely designed for racing”. It was characterized by plexiglass windows and fiberglass body panels. Its interiors lacked comforts like armrests, mirrors, sound-dampening insulations, radio and heater. Because of all this, it was not appropriate for daily usage and hence, only 100 cars were sold in the year 1964.
