The 1969 Ford Torino Talladega revved its way into history with a powerful 428 Cobra Jet engine and C-6 transmission, designed to make Ford the NASCAR track star. With NASCAR demanding at least 500 cars for sale, Ford sped ahead with 750 (or was it 754, including one for their president, Bunkie Knudsen?). This aerodynamic marvel stretched six inches longer with a nosecone that could slice through air like a hot knife through butter. And get this, the bumpers were interchangeable! Now that’s what I call a bumper car!
