Benny Parsons Tribute Talladega Going to MECUM Auctions UPDATE!
Rick Stanton's Talladega Boss 9
Rick Stanton has decided to place his fantastic Hod Rod magazine cover car Benny Parsons Tribute Talladega in the Las Vegas MECUM Auctions on Saturday October 9, 2021. This is a change from the previous plans due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. The car will have a reserve but the extra parts will be included if the buyer wants them. This is one top of the line, fast real deal Talladega. I have known Rick and this car for years. I can testify that it is a first class build. If Hot Rod makes it a Feature Car, you know it is done right.
We hope someone in our group is the high bidder on this car. If not, we will miss seeing it at our future events. No matter how many times I see it, and hear it, I want more!
Here is what Rick has to say about the car:
-The car is Registered and Insured.
-The Talladega has always been in California and is rust free. It was just recently moved to Colorado and is always garaged.
-I recently went through the car, built a new engine making 870 hp @ 6,500 rpm , 809 lb. ft. of Torque @ 4,500 rpm, idles @ 1,000 rpm, it is very steetable.
-This Engine is all 1969 Ford Engine pieces except the rods which are Eagles with L19 Cap Screw Bolts.
-This Engine has all the Magnesium Dry Sump parts including David Pearson Magnesium Valve Covers, NASCAR Magnesium Spyder Intake, & spare Dry Sump parts go with the car as well as the Torque Box Intake.
-New Mcleod Dual Disc Clutch, re-Jet Coated the Headers & Side Pipes. I have about 16 Nascar wheels & tires that will go with the car, both Nascar tires and treaded tires, some new, never on the ground with stickers still on them.
-I also have lots of trim pieces, interior & exterior, spare Dash with Gauges & rear Glass.
-The car is about 95% correct for a 1969 NASCAR Talladega.
–Rick states he could not duplicate this Engine today for $100,000 as the original parts are unobtainable. All the parts used are 1969 Nascar parts.
