1969 Talladega Production Figures

I have had many Talladega's submitted to my registry. With each one added more questions came up. I started my own research into how many of these cars were made. Below are my findings to date on production numbers.


        Total Talladegas produced (Car with a DSO code of XX 2500) 743
        Color breakdown:
        Blue Paint Code X = 199
        Maroon Paint Code B = 258
        White Paint Code M = 286.


One Special Talladega was made for the President of Ford Motor Company. This car has been reported as a Prototype. Since the DSO is XX 1000 I do not include it in the above total but it is a Talladega, and since it was the last Talladega made and the only one made at the Lorain Assembly plant this is oner special car.

Other sources have reported as many as 9 prototypes. The car above is often included in that number. I do not count it as a prototype. Two other cars are reported as crash tested by Ford. Both vin numbers due not checkout as valid with both Ford Motor Company and Kevin Marti of Marti autoworks. So we can strike those cars from the prototype list. Another prototype was reported as a Red Ram Air car owned by Banjo Mathews. This vin also does not checkout with Ford as a valid car. One other car is included as a prototype that was given to Bill France, since this car carriesa DSO of 2500 and was made on the production line I include it with the other white T's above. That leaves us with 4 confirmed Prototype cars. If you add them all together my research shows Total Talladegas as 748. Like I said the research goes on check back for updates.
