- 1969 Ford Talladega 428 Cobra Jet Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #137
Ford was "all-in" when it came to NASCAR in 1969, and this 1969 Ford Talladega is the street-going result of their racing and aerodynamics research. These cars featured special sheet metal to improve high-speed aerodynamics, and the results were worth the efforts. Its a 428 Cobra Jet powered ride with a bench seat and column shifter, and it's our Muscle Car Of The Week!

I saw a white one at a diner in driver condition in white few years back. I was rude enough to go inside and ask around until I found the owner. He said it was mostly rust free, still had the original paint and some of the bright work was pitted but he was happy just driving it and had plans for a restoration in the near future. We did walk outside and he showed off the car after I he finished eating. It was in very nice shape for an old car that was almost a daily driver from the day it was new.
This is without question the most under rated channel on TH-cam!
I miss the days when NASCAR meant stock cars. I would buy a modern race car for the street if that ever happened again.
Super cool car. These and the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 2 are probably the best NASCAR stock car body ever made. These cars are the reason the Dodge Charger 500, Charger Daytona, and Plymouth Superbird exist. The 68-69 Torino/Cyclone 428 CJ fastback were some of the best looking muscle cars ever made imo
Most underappreciated muscle car in terms of $$$.
another great video informative and well spoken by a cool dude can not wait till next week thank you.
Great information in this video about this car. But here's 2 more interesting facts: #1......While a rear bumper was indeed used to create the front bumper, it was cut completely in two right in the middle, to SHORTEN the entire bumper lengthwise, so it would fit the front of the car, as well as give it that swept point in the middle..........and #2.......While the 1969 Ford Talladega did win many races for the season, it NEVER won at the Talladega OR Daytona track in 1969!!! ......which is kind of ironic, lol. Great car though!
Always felt like Ford should've homologated the Boss 429 engine in these and the Cyclone Spoiler II instead of in a Mustang. Really didn't need another performance Mustang when they already had the Mach 1, Boss 302, and Shelby GT350 and GT500
With today's vehicles (I have the V6 Cyclone Mustang and realize it would have worn out my 68 SS Chevelle) it is easy to discount these "full weight" cars but they still have a place in my heart for sure. The style, ride, and feel was just SO cool. Yeah, give me the speed and performance (and fuel economy) that I can get today in a daily driver but these cars are the king.
Thank you for my weekly dosage of muscle car knowledge... ;-) And nice ride too. Have a good day.
I had a chance at a decent one just like the feature car back in 82. Couldn't afford it being 22 years old and still at home. $2800. Still think about it. Sweet car, and thanks for the segment. Cheers!
Column shift? AT? Bench seat? Open dif? Shame, this coulda been a contenda. Coulda BEEN SOMEBODY.
What won on Sunday , Sold on Monday !!!!!!
Hey Buddy, that front bumper isn't exactly transplanted directly. It's cut and welded in three places to achieve the soft but subtle shape backwards. You can see all three welds from the back of the bumper.
Awesome!!
Amazing car!!! A pair of bucket seats and a floor shifter would have been very nice.
The front bumper was a rear bumper that was pie cut in the center, bent slightly and welded back together, then chrome plated. Even though the front and rear bumpers started out the same, they would not interchange after the modification was done.
My favorite Was the 1969 428 Q CODE GALEXCIE XL HIDE AWAY LIGHTS VERSION .BLUE WITH WHITE INTIERIOR.. FAST BACK DESIGN AS WELL..
very nice job Kevin -- For sure my favourite channel -- The CJ engine may not have been the best of the best but it was very very good, Had one in my Shelby GT500 and it was all i wanted and more. That Talladega in that colour with a 4 sp. ,
just f---in beautiful would love to own this beauty
