Excellent one. Nice !!
But was it from the same car; 69 Torino?

Edit: this says it was from the same car. But the front was a modified rear bumper cut in 3 places: Ford Talladega History - Talladega and Spoiler Registry (BTW very cool pictorial explanation)


It is difficult to see due to the reflections in this Talladega bumper but look closely and you can see the modifications to the end and top of the bumper. Ford took a rear bumper, cut it into three pieces, reshaped it and filled in the openings on the ends and made a new front bumper for the Talladega and Spoiler II. These new front bumpers acted like a rudimentary spoiler for the front end.
