?? 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.
