This 1969 Ford Torino Talladega is described as a true survivor with just under 70k miles that is being offered by its third owner. Only about 750 of these one-year-only NASCAR homologation specials were built and this Presidential Blue example is said to be one of approximately 200 still known to exist. Find it here on eBay in San Francisco, California.

Unlike the later Dodge Charger Daytona/Plymouth Superbird wing cars, the Talladega features much more subtly integrated aerodynamic bodywork. We like the dark blue on this one, and the seller shows an image of the Marti report that offers interesting info on this car and model.

Like the outer design, the interior is an understated affair. All production Talladegas were built with a black interior, bench seat and column-mounted shifter for the C-6 automatic. We can’t find any detail that distinguishes the interior from that of the standard model apart from the “Talladega” nameplate.

The 428 cu. in. Cobra Jet V-8 under the hood is said to be a strong runner as well as all-original, right down to its carburetor and smog equipment. The seller states that he recently replaced all the hoses, fluids, etc., and that he drives it every few weeks or so.

When available, these Talladegas are rarely well-maintained originals like this one. The question is, would you pay the higher price for this over a similarly equipped Torino?
