  Ford Torino Talladega - Wikicars
Named after the Talladega Superspeedway racetrack in Alabama, it was a special racing version of the Ford Torino produced specifically to make Ford competitive in NASCAR racing, and was sold to the public only because homologation rules required a certain number of sales to the public.
Unusually, Ford homologated the engine separately from the car it was to race in; production Talladegas received the Ford 428 Cobra Jet, which while powerful was not intended as a racing engine, while the racing engines were installed in the limited-production Ford Mustang Boss 429.
Today, a Torino Talladega is a fairly collectible car, although for some reason their values have not risen nearly as high as the Mopar "aero cars" - possibly the sheer outrageousness of the Charger Daytona and Superbird, with their huge rear wings, have eclipsed the far more subtle Torino Talladega.

 Ford Torino - Wikicars
It replaced the Ford Fairlane, although that name was retained for the base models with trim different from those models which wore the Torino name.
Some models of Torino were performance cars, because Ford chose the Torino as the base for its NASCAR entrants during the early years.
The Torino GT and the Brougham trim model for that year were the only Torinos ever to have hidden headlights(standard on Brougham, optional on GT); the GT also had a fake scoop molded into the hood.

 Talladega
Initially the motor was to go in to the Talladega but the marketing types changed that and the Boss 429 Mustang was born.
Still Ford knew that to be competitive on the Super Speedways they needed a more aerodynamic car.
This allowed Ford to lower the car more than a stock Torino for racing yet still be within Nascar regulations.

 Reed Johnston's 1969 Ford Talladega
The specially built 1969 Ford Talladega was the result, and among the changes, the most obvious included the longer front fenders that extended the snout, and had an angled front that connected the now flush mounted grill opening back into the hood area, with special bracing to support the now “drooped” nose.
Talladegas were given special “T” plates on the doors just above the handles, a “T” in a circle on the rear, and “Talladega” nameplates inside on the door panels.
Ford didn’t skimp on the power for these cars, as they received the 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet with a 10.5:1 compression ratio rated at 335hp, backed by a C6 automatic transmission.
