Vehicle Description 1969 Ford TORINO TALLADEGA $71,895 "🏆 NASCAR Homologation Holy Grail: Frame-Off Restored 1969 Ford Torino Talladega 428 Cobra Jet 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. ⚙️ Mechanics & Drivetrain Engine: Numbers-Matching 428 cu. in.
