Numbers Matching | 1 of Only 754 Produced | Two Original Build Sheets & Deluxe Marti Report
Before it dominated the superspeedways, it was built for one reason: to crush Mopar in NASCAR. Born out of Ford's "Total Performance" era, the 1969 Ford Torino Talladega is one of the most celebrated, legendary homologation specials ever constructed.
Offered here is a frame-off restored example of Ford's aero war weapon. Complete with its numbers-matching 428 Cobra Jet V8, two original factory build sheets, and a Deluxe Marti Report, this is an irreplaceable piece of American muscle car and racing history.
???? NASCAR Aero War Royalty
In early 1969, Ford took the Torino SportsRoof, extended the front nose by five inches, flushed the front grille, smoothed the rocker panels, and fitted a custom flush rear bumper. The result? A slipperier body profile that allowed David Pearson and Richard Petty to dominate NASCAR tracks nationwide.
To satisfy NASCAR homologation requirements, Ford built just 754 production Talladegas over a brief weeks-long run in early 1969. Finding one today in pristine condition is rare-finding one restored to this standard with full paper provenance is nearly impossible.
