You must love your Talledegas, Mike or was it a "Buy One; Get Two Free" sale? What engine is in there? a 351 Windsor?

LOL, back when these were first released by Maisto, they were probably $21.95 or $24.95 new in a store. Sam's Club had them in their sales at $9.95 or $12.95, so I got a couple of them that way, I recall. These are the three colors the Torino Talledegas were officially available in and they all have the standard 428 CID Cobra Jet V-8.

Those are mods and I like that look, too. The original wheels got used in another project so nothing went to waste !
