Collectors pulled a 1968 Ford Torino GT fastback out of an open Wyoming field after years buried in the dirt, and the extraction video has drawn more than 280,000 views. That’s nearly 500 times the account’s usual reach.

Creator @thehomedogllc37 captioned the clip “SAVED: Entombed 1968 Ford Torino GT Fastback S-Code 390!!!”, explaining that Dennis Collins traveled to Cheyenne, Wyoming to track the car down.

Key Points

• The video documents pulling a long-buried 1968 Ford Torino GT S-Code 390 fastback out of a Wyoming field.
• The caption credits Dennis Collins with traveling to Cheyenne to locate and recover the car.
• The clip reached 282,300 views, roughly 488 times the account’s typical median.
• The account has built nearly 14,000 followers around barn find and abandoned car recoveries.

The “S-Code” badge in that caption isn’t decoration. Ford offered the 1968 Torino GT fastback, known internally as the SportsRoof body, with a 390 cubic-inch V8 in two states of tune. According to Mac’s Motor City Garage, buyers could choose a 265-horsepower two-barrel version or step up to the 325-horsepower four-barrel S-Code, and the fastback outsold the standard Sport Coupe roughly three to one that year. Total Fairlane and Torino production topped 372,000 units in 1968, with more than 106,000 of those wearing the fastback roof.

Cars this specific don’t survive open field conditions by luck alone. Wyoming winters and unshaded summers are brutal on sheet metal and upholstery, so anything recovered after years exposed to the elements needs a careful evaluation before anyone can call it a real save rather than a parts donor.

That mix of muscle car history and genuine field rescue is why viewers stuck around for this one. Seeing a restored Torino GT gleaming at a car show is one thing. Watching the actual recovery, dirt and all, is something else entirely.

Ford introduced the 428 Cobra Jet V8 partway through the 1968 model year, and Mac’s Motor City Garage notes it was rated at a conservative 335 horsepower while real output ran closer to 400, a detail that turned the Fairlane and Torino into genuine muscle car contenders rather than just sporty family sedans. Whether this specific fastback carries the 390 S-Code named in the caption or something else under the hood, the underlying story stays the same: a car built during Ford’s most aggressive performance era spent years quietly rusting in a field before anyone bothered to come looking for it.

Trips like the one to Cheyenne tend to start the same way, with a tip from a stranger who remembers an old car sitting on family land for decades. It only works because somewhere out there, someone always knows where the next one is hiding.
