New Ford Talladega Banjo Matthews Prototype

There is no doubt that the car is the first annual Ford Talladega Family Reunion was held in 2010 Forge Muscle Car Show. This car has been restored and is owned by Jason Thompson. Jason also owns other uncorrected Talladega prototype white car Banjo Matthews.
Ford built this car from September 25, 1969 a few months before production of the first Talladega January 22, 1969. You can look at this car in her beautiful pink color with a "C" line on the page without that Ford wants to build them all this way. Can you imagine how they would receive Talladega today from his chair, air conditioning and bright colors on the outside?
Here are some of the unique characteristics of this prototype, which would distinguish it from the production of Talladega.




The boundaries were changed by hand, which is shaping Rocker;

-The car is a GT trim;

-Chairs and console;

Rimblow wheel and tachometer;

A hood scoop, ram air (ram air Talladega just built);

Several back-bar;

Several front-end that is the same, but all the panels are different from the production;

-No hood latch, hood pins only, and;

Bright-red color with a white line 'C'.

Not only is it a rare piece of history, but the reconstruction was completed by Jason and his father Clarence at a very high level.

Thanks for saving this once lost a part of automotive history.

White Talladega seen in the picture below, the second prototype Banjo Matthews, who also owned by Jason. Currently, in the same condition as when Jason and his father a car in the summer of 2010. The duo is expected back the early restoration of this car document.

White prototype has much the same difference as the red car, and I think a car that was used in all Ford early marketing and sales brochures for Talladega.
