are they supposed to have tachs or no? thanks for any help.

According to Rich Ochs they did NOT. Also it was/is common "upfit" a regular Torino with a "Talladega" fron clip. There were only three colors offered: Red, White, and Blue. The only "good" wat to tell a real Talladega from a fake is the rockers on the real cars were much lower than the others. Also, there were "Talladega" name plates attached to the inside of the doors.

FYI, they are not the most rare of all Ford production vehicles, but very close to it.
