The 1969 Ford Fairlane was available in 16 different models. Most were Fairlanes though the higher end was called Torino. Torino was not yet its own car line, more of an upscale option package. The Cobra model was introduced in the 1969 model year though official known as Cobra through Ford Advertisements, sales brochures and the windows sticker that came on the car many people refer to them as Fairlane Cobras or Torino Cobras. This is probably due to the fact that the Cobra package, 428 CJ and Ram-Air options, was available on most Fairlane models and all Cobras carry a Fairlane Body Code (main reason for the Fairlane cobra name, but does not explain why one model is not referred to as a Fairlane 500 Cobra!). All designations are acceptable, but generate considerable debate. Another note, though I prefer calling them just Cobras, Ford did file the name Cobra with the AMA for 1969. But they also refer to them to this day as Torino Cobras but all literature of the time calls them just Cobras not Fairlane or Torino. Since Ford did not use the name on anything else in 69 it's hard to imagine someone confusing this car with Mustangs as other have noted.

The numbers under the registry do not equal the total vehicles in the registry. Many vin's are reported without any other info. Like parted out cars. I have included them where the classification was possible without any doubt as to what car it is.
