28. Ford Torino Talladega

In contrast to some models from this list, which they produced for 12 months or so, they only built the Torino Talladega for a couple of weeks in early 1969. This car was Ford’s answer to the Dodge Daytona and Mopar’s efforts to win in the NASCAR races.

The idea behind the Talladega, which they named after the NASCAR track, was to take a standard Torino and give it a unique front end and a few slippery details to homologate it for the superspeedways. They built a total of 754 Talladegas in a short time, using many of them for racing.
