Restoration Tech
This page and the information on it are restricted to Team Members in good standing.
Everyone at onetime or another needs help with a restoration. The 1969 Ford Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II are such rare cars they have some very unique restoration specifications. Although they are built on the Ford Torino and Mercury Cyclone platforms these cars were not built in huge numbers. Because of this there are not a lot of knowledgeable restoration resources.
The information found in this Section was obtained from fellow enthusiasts and restoration experts. This information may not give you everything you need to know to restore your car back to factory specifications but hopefully it will provide you with at least some information you did not know.
If you have information to contribute that you believe would be helpful to others please forward it to rfleener@comcast.net .
If you can not find what you are looking for please leave a comment at the bottom of this page and post your question. Answers will them be added to this list.
To help with your search, this Page is broken down into two parts. One for the Talladega and the other for the Spoiler/Spoiler II cars. The information for each car is then broken down into sub-sections for major portions of the car.
Click on the links below. Those that are not highlighted as links do not yet have information related to that subject. If you would like to contribute information to this page please email it to rfleener@comcast.net.
We have also included a third section labeled “Resources”. This section will provide you with places you might be able to find parts that you are looking for both new or used and reproduction. If you have a good source for rare parts you should pass it on to rfleener@comcast.net and it will be added to the list.
