White Banjo Matthews Prototype Ford Talladega
Richard | Jul 22, 2010 | Comments 2
This is another rare Ford Talladega Prototype once owned by Banjo Matthews and headed to the Forge Muscle Car Show this fall. This car is shown in its current condition, dust and all. It has been in hiding for years and was recently pulled out of storage and placed in Floyd Garrett Muscle Car Museum in Sevierville, TN.
This is just what it looked like when Jason got it but after he placed it in the museum. You will notice the rocker moulding, rear checker board, chrome remote driver side mirror, bucket seats, console, rim blow steering wheel and A/C. There are more detail changes but lets see how good you are at finding them! If you find additional things you think are different from the production Talladega list it in the comments below.

About the Author: I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California. The time there was very rewarding but the urge for a slower pace moved us to Tennessee a few years ago and we love it. I have been into cars since I was old enough to remember. I don't have a brand loyalty although I do prefer American Muscle. As long as it has four wheels on it I get excited. Few men are lucky enough to be able to share their passion for cars with the woman they love. Fortunately, my wife Katriana is also a gear head and many of our activities revolve around the cars. When they don't we are usually out with our miniature donkeys. You can see more about that part of our lives at http://www.LegendaryFarms.com.
Richard,
Looks like it doesn’t have the marker light on the front frender, has a hood scoope and that is has the gear shifter lever on the floor. I wish the production Dega also had rim blow steering wheel, console and gear shifter lever on the floor… looks better

Very obvious is the omission of the hood blackout and the upper body stripe, assume the Talladega ornamentation was not finalized by then.
Sure do like it better with buckets and console!
