Ford Torino (1968) for Sale in IL

A true representation of late-’60s muscle, this 1968 Ford Torino GT Fastback combines aggressive styling with strong V8 performance. Finished in striking Candy Apple Red over a black vinyl interior, this example benefits from a prior refurbishment that refreshed both its appearance and mechanicals. Under the hood sits a 390 cubic inch V8, enhanced with a trio of two-barrel carburetors for added performance and visual appeal. The engine has been upgraded with a solid lifter camshaft and adjustable valvetrain components, along with an MSD ignition system and aluminum valve covers. Power is delivered through a four-speed manual transmission, reportedly sourced from a Cobra Jet Torino, paired with a 3.25:1 rear axle for balanced performance on the street. The exterior was refinished from its original Diamond Blue to Candy Apple Red, complemented by rechromed trim, gray side accent decals, and a dual-exit exhaust system. Chrome bumpers and brightwork present well, while Magnum 500-style 14-inch wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich white-letter tires give the car a classic muscle stance. Inside, the cabin has been retrimmed in black vinyl and features bucket seats, a center console, Torino-branded floor mats, and brushed sill plates. A Hurst shifter adds to the driver-focused experience, while auxiliary gauges beneath the dash provide added engine monitoring. The factory radio remains in place, alongside an aftermarket unit discreetly mounted in the glovebox. Equipped with power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes, this Torino GT offers an engaging yet manageable driving experience. With its fastback styling, upgraded drivetrain, and refreshed presentation, it stands as a compelling example of Ford’s muscle-era performance.
