Alright, you have a good point. But here is evidence to the contrary, attached.

I also see that the Report lists a 289-2V (C-code). That engine option was replaced during the 1968 model year with the 302-2V (F-code). The brochure I posted is a revised edition that subs out the 289 for the 302

Actually, the 302 replaced the 289 in 1968 but, due to a strike, Ford built 289 Fairlanes and Torinos. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but that's what happened according to the Ford folks I know.
