Did Ford make a Talladega Special Thunderbird?
A friend and I were planning on parting out this car, but we want to find out more
information about it first. It is a 1985 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with a five speed manual transmission. It says Talladega Special on the sides and on the trunk. After searching online for hours I cannot find anything online about this car besides one other forum saying that they exist (and only one other picture of one), but it offered almost no other valuable information. If I could get some help in trying to figure out if the car is real (not just something someone slapped decals on and tried to pass off as something special) it would be greatly appreciated. I have already tried to reverse search the vin number but to no avail. it says that the car should be a 2.3 turbo coupe with a manual trans. the color code comes back as oxford white, but other than that there is really not a lot else I can find on the car. It is possible that I'm not looking for the right things though as I am not totally sure what to look for. We are trying to figure out if it is worth saving or parting. The car has extensive rust on the body, the trunk is rusted out, both shock towers need replaced, the upper and lower radiator supports both need replaced, and the turbo needs rebuilt. Basically the only thing going for this car is the interior on it is immaculate with only two very small cracks in the dash, and the body itself doesn't appear to have ever been involved in an accident. I will post as many pictures as possible. If more are needed let me know and I'll try to get them as soon as possible.
