Comments | (This car is considered by many to be a Prototype; however, on this site it is considered to be a Show Car/One Off Special. It has a VIN after the Prototypes but prior to the pilot cars. It was not completed at the factory and was built especially for the President of Ford. Note added by Registry) Yello/White interior, all possible options. This car was owned by Bunky Knudsen FOMCO’s President. Has been owned by George Troell since 1976. |
While this is no doubt a significant vehicle it is not a prototype or even a pilot car, in fact it’s the last Talladega built…
Everyone seems oblivious to the fact it’s a Lorain build, not Atlanta and has a date of 20C which is March 20… The consecutive VIN of 180695 at Atlanta would have been built somewhere in late Jan same as were the pilot and first regular production Talladegas… All that has to be done to prove my statement is pull up a report for 9A***180695 and the vehicle assigned that consecutive VIN will be found… Since Atlanta also built full size models as well as intermediates, 180695 could have been assigned to one of many different models such as a Galaxie 500, Torino GT or even a Ranchero… My bet it isn’t on a Sportsroof Cobra but it’s possible…
