The Ford Torino Talladega was a car produced by the Ford Motor Company during the first few weeks of 1969, only. Ford's Talladega was named after the Talladega Superspeedway racetrack in Alabama, which also made its debut in 1969. The Ford Talladega was a special, more aerodynamic version of the Ford Torino / Fairlane Cobra. It was produced specifically to make Ford even more competitive in NASCAR stock car racing, and it was sold to the public only because homologation rules required a certain minimum number of cars (500 in 1969) be produced and made available for sale to the public. It is believed that a total of 754 Talladega’s may have been built, although the Talladega/Spoiler Registry can only account for a maximum of 750. This number includes all prototypes, pilot cars, and production cars built. This car is a true survivor, original paint, interior, and matching number engine right down to the original smog equipment. The owner even waxed the chrome air cleaner to make sure it didn’t rust. The paint is 43 years old and looks the part. The driver’s door was hit in 1970 and was repaired (minor damage) There is repairs that need to be done behind the front wheels as with most driven Torino’s but, the floors and cowl are very solid. The interior needs, well, nothing. And yes, it is absolutely original. Presidential Blue is the rarest of colors for Talladega’s with the exception of prototypes. You can get in and drive this away and never touch it or, paint it and have an instant hit. You surely won’t see another like it. I know, survivor is over used these days but, this car is deserving of that label. The vehicle is in our shop and is available for inspection Feel free to ask any questions.
