 | The Ford Torino Talladega is a muscle car that was produced by Ford only during the first few weeks of 1969. 754 were produced. Matching numbers Q-code 428/335 HP Cobra Jet engine. C6 HD automatic transmission. Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.25 gears. Royal Maroon paint. Power steering. Power brakes. Exterior oil cooler. Original bench seat interior. Believed to be 25,000 miles. Highly original. |
 | Talladegas were equipped with the new 428 Cobra Jet, which, while powerful, was intended as a street engine as it developed high torque at low RPMs, rather than a high-revving race engine. |  |
 | The Torino Talladega did exactly what Ford hoped it would do on the racing circuit: it won 29 Grand National races during the 1969 and 1970 NASCAR seasons. Ford completely abandoned all of their racing programs, starting with the 1970 season. Today, a Torino Talladega is a very collectible car with Hagerty suggesting a concours example is trending around $80k. |
| The car went unsold at Mecum Harrisburg. It appeared at Mecum's event and made $58k. |  |
