Designed and built to qualify Ford’s sleek, new, midsize Torino for NASCAR competition, the Talladega took the fight in 1969 and 1970 to Chrysler’s radical “Aero Warriors.” Named after the new Alabama superspeedway, the slippery new Torino Talladega was built during the early weeks of January 1969 with just 750 produced in all. Special aero features included a lengthened nose and flush grille, a modified and tucked-in front bumper, and rolled and reshaped rocker panels.
Other choice Talladega-specific features included an oil cooler, power steering fluid cooler, staggered rear shocks, a nodular-iron 3.25:1 Ford 9-inch open differential with 31-spline axles, plus a column-shifted, heavy duty C6 automatic transmission including a cast iron tail shaft. Also unique to the Talladega was a competition black hood and rear panel. Interiors were trimmed one way: black vinyl and cloth, with a front bench seat. True to plan, the aero-efficient Torino Talladega won 29 Grand National races during the 1969 and 1970 NASCAR seasons and captured the 1969 NASCAR Manufacturer’s Championship with David Pearson driving.
A Talladega piloted by Benny Parsons scored the 1969 ARCA Manufacturer’s Championship as well. Finished in blue over the mandatory black upholstery, this rare 1969 Ford Torino Talladega features a Q-Code 428/335 HP 4V Cobra Jet V-8 engine, C6 Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission, power brakes with front discs, power steering and a 3.25:1 rear end. Rare and potent, this Talladega exemplifies the extreme lengths Ford went to race and win during the company’s infamous, all-out 1960s Total Performance era.
