1970 Ford Fairlane

The 1970 Ford Fairlane is part of the seventh generation of Fairlanes, marking a transition into the Torino lineup. This model features a wheelbase of 117 inches for most variations, while wagons have a slightly shorter wheelbase of 114 inches. The overall length measures 206.2 inches, with wagons being approximately 209 inches long. Available engines include a 302 cubic inch V8 producing 220 HP, a 351 cubic inch V8 in both two-barrel and four-barrel configurations, and a robust 429 cubic inch V8 with horsepower ratings of 360 HP, 370 HP, and 375 HP. Transmission options consist of a three-speed manual, a four-speed manual (not available with the inline-six or 302 V8), and a three-speed automatic. A notable feature of the 1970 model year is the renaming of top models to Torino, signaling the end of the Fairlane nameplate in the U.S. after this year.
