A guy I know owned the Calypso Coral King Cobra a few years back.

@kawasakif3 Wow...What did he sell it?

[kawasakif3]

@ScottieDTV had one of those wives that has to have everything so he sold it to make her happy.I told him next to marrying her he was making the worst mistake of his life.She filled for divorce less than 6 months later.Im currently in the process of building a clone of one out of my 70 Torino.Bought a new Boss 9 from Jon Kaase a few weeks back.Will be posting pics and vids in the spring when it starts looking like a car again.Mine will have a rear spoiler to work in conjunction with the nose.

@RamblinAround That's right...Ford also made a Talladega model...they have a sloped nose also..but a lot less drastic than this...he has one of those up there...and I guess that Mercury made one to...because he has one of those to up there...lot of cool things to bring you from up there...this is just the tip of the ice burg...thanks for cking it out Brother!!

In 68, the Torino Talledega was dominant in Nascar and that's why they had to come up with the Daytona and the Superbird to compete. Then I guess Ford needed to up their game again in 1970. It would have been interesting to see this more fully developed. The speeds were getting pretty ridiculous at the time though. Great find Scottie, that is an awesome machine!
