1968 - 1969 Fairlane Torino Ranchero Registry


The Fairlane / Torino Ranchero Registry was started in 1995 (really 1982). Originally I only tracked Cobra's and other 428CJ equipped Fairlanes. In 1997, after many requests I have expanded it to include all Fairlanes Rancheros Talladegas and Torinos 1968/1969 vintage. The purpose of the registry is to track down and document as many of these fine cars as possible. All cars are welcomed, even if it is totaled or parted out or you once owned it but sold 30 years ago. I have reunited several owners with their orginal car. To register your car or cars please send me the following or call:

    • VIN and data plate information from drivers door. (If the tag is missing I can provide those codes to you!)
    • What options the car has, ie. Power Steering, Air Conditioner etc.
    • Also any other information about your car you like, history, stories, modifications, etc.
    • Send a scanned photo or mail me one of your car if you'd like.
    • Include your Snail Mail address and Phone Number
    • There is an Email group for members of the registry.
    • Cost is ZERO to add a car to the registry

All information is strictly confidential. It will never be used for any commercial propose.
