THE FORGE

Ford Talladega “Family Reunion”

News Release

The rarest of the rare will be having a Talladega Family Reunion in Kingsport Tennessee on October 1 and 2 at the Forge Invitational Muscle Car Show. The Ford Talladega is one of the rarest of the special built muscle cars for NASCAR Racing. In 1969 Ford only built approximately 750 versions of the race inspired, extended, sloped nose Talladega powered by a 428 CJ engine. The sister cars Mercury Cyclone Spoiler and Spoiler II will also be invited to attending this ONCE IN A LIFE TIME EVENT.

For the first time since 1969 the remaining Talladega Prototypes, Talladega Assembly line Pilot cars, production cars, a race car and the very first production Talladega will gather in one place for a Family reunion!

Every known Prototype and Pilot Talladega (Some have never been available to the public!!!) has been invited and several invitations have already been accepted. Making this event even more special is the attendance of the some of the people responsible for the development and building of these very special cars. Each will bring their own expertise, stories and rumors to the show for all to share.

Between now and the show we will be making regular announcements as to cars and individuals who have registered to attend this one time only event.

This show within the Forge Muscle Car Show will be one you will not want to miss. Again this is a once in lifetime opportunity to see some of these cars gathered in one place.  Some of these cars are restored, while others are in the process, and others in original condition.

In addition, a special invitation is going out to the owners of any Talladega to bring their cars to a special support outdoor event that will be held in conjunction with The Forge Show. For more information please contact: Jason Thompson. The Talladega Family Reunion is by invitation only. If you have one of the rarest of the rare Talladegas please contact Jason Thompson for a possible invitation.

If you helped build or had a hand in the production of the Talladega or the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler or Spoiler II or any of the race car versions please contact Jason Thompson about attending our reunion.
