What cars came stock with a ford 9 inch positive traction?

The Ford 9-inch differential wasn't offered *stock* with a true limited-slip (often called "positive traction" in the aftermarket) differential across the board in every model it was used in. Its inclusion depended heavily on the model year, trim level, and options selected.

While many high-performance Ford models *optionally* offered a Traction-Lok (Ford's brand name for their limited-slip differential) in a 9-inch rear end, it wasn't standard equipment on most.

To say definitively which cars came *stock* with a 9-inch and a limited-slip is difficult without specifying the exact year and model. However, cars where it was a *common* option (and thus likely found in some stock vehicles) include:

* High-performance Mustangs (various years): Especially Shelby Mustangs and Boss Mustangs were frequently equipped with the 9-inch and a Traction-Lok. But again, it wasn't always standard.

* Ford Galaxie (certain years and models): Some higher trim levels and performance packages might have included the 9-inch with Traction-Lok.

* Ford Fairlane (certain years and models): Similar to the Galaxie, performance options could include the combination.

* Ford Torino (certain years and models): Again, availability depended on year and options chosen.

* Certain trucks (heavy-duty models): Some heavy-duty trucks utilized the 9-inch, and limited-slip was a more common option in these workhorse applications.

In short, you'd need to specify the exact year, make, model, and trim level of a Ford vehicle to know for certain if it came stock with a Ford 9-inch differential and a limited-slip. It was a popular *option* on many performance vehicles, but rarely a standard feature.
