Welcome to the forum, jon... and everybody, be nice to the Ford guy  There is a lot of neat history surrounding the Talladegas & Cyclones, and I would personally love to see the restoration pics. It's great that you're restoring it with your son too - my son hasn't gotten past Lego's just yet, so we have a ways to go before things like that. Look forward to seeing you at Talladega in '09 - that's been my goal since I first bought my Daytona too! Geno |

Welcome Jon. Good to see you over here on this board. I was watching some show and they had eithe a cyclone or a talledega with a very "superbird/daytona" looking nose on it. extremely limited production. the car was white if I remember right.
Sounds like the King Cobra. The front end reminds me of a Datsun 240Z. |

In answer to your question Charger punk.The most obvious is the 6-8 in fender ext ans the sloped nose.The rockers were rolled differently.They made 747-754 it dependes on which expert that you ask.They made 199 Presidential Blue ones,259 Royal Maroon,286 White.There are 45 Blue ones left in existence 69 Maroon and 54 White these numbers are as of the last registry.They also came with staggered rear shocks and a nodular rear center section with 3.25 gears and no posi?  and an oil cooler.Something usually reserved for 4 spd, drag pack cars.They were all 428 cars with c-6 A/T,all were colunm shifted.They were built from mid-jan to the end of feb.My car was built Jan 30 1969 #147 Talladega built.Amother guy on the board,Doug Schellinger actually runs the regisry now my have more answers.I hope this helps.Jon Wood |

Hey Jon, nice car and welcome to the site. There seems to be nothing but Fords where I live so you won't get any flack from me. No Talladega-no Daytona. Of course, no 500- no Talladega.  |

Welcome to the site. I thought that Mike Atkins had bought every talladega that was left.
Only kidding.
I wasn't aware that there weren't any 4 speed Talladega's.
