Ford VS Chevy........again?!?

Ok, congrats to whomever guessed Wimbelton White. It was sold to an airline pilot in Canada. He owned the car for 15 years+/-, Ford keep hounding him, and offering him newer 'Stangs as an even trade. I think he took a 1969 Boss 429, but not too sure.

Ah, and the beloved Talledega. For general sale to the public, NO 1969 Talledegas had the 429 option. Ford put the 429 in the Mustang, because NASCAR rules stated that in order to run the engine it had to be in a production vehicle, though they never speciffied which vehicle. Rumors were planted outside of Ford that there were 300-400 of them produced, but is just rumor.
In 1970, the 429 was put between the shock towers of the Torino and Cyclone. Which is what gives the rumor about the '69's so much strenth.
There were, however, 25 or 50 1969 Talledega's produced for NASCAR teams(of which several have reached the general public). So the answer would be, technically, None. Later.
