ThunderBolt and shout out to Bones Fab

[Dkahnjob]

I bought an old race car, a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt. For those that don't know what that is, here is a description.

The Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt is a limited production, factory experimental, drag racing version of the Ford Fairlane produced during the 1964 model year only. A total of 100 units were produced; forty-nine 4-speeds and fifty-one automatics, enough to secure the 1964 NHRA Super Stock championship for Ford.
Engine: 427 cu in (7.0 L) Ford FE V8.

This car hadn't been driven or raced for 18-20 years.
I had Jim and his team at Bones Fab go through the car, clean it up and make it street legal (Barely) .
They did a great job and it is a lot of fun to drive on the street. It definately is the hit of the car shows as well.
Thank you Jim and team.

Ford Porn to the highest degree! I've seen a bunch of kockoffs, "tribute" cars they call them today, but only a handful of the real deals. Honestly, I don't think I've seen one on a street, just car shows and collections.
That rumble should turn heads everywhere

I saw you driving to Super Car Sunday. I was already on my way out. Glad to see you out enjoying it.

 

[RitcheyRch]

He forgot to mention it has a real deal 427 tunnel port in it. and some compression. It is a nasty sounding bitch.

Full manual c-6

Giving away my age but…
As a kid, I remember seeing an ad in magazines for tunnel port 427s for like $700. And tunnel port 302 for like $400 may have even been less

 

[jeepdog]

Yes, it has an Art Carr full manual C-6 with reverse shift pattern.

You have me confused with someone else. Cars I can work non because logic and common sense work usually. Women? I am fucking clueless with. Ain’t got a clue on how those emotionally unstable things operate.

One of my favorite movie lines.

I'm telling you, if more cars sounded like this, the world would be a better place!

That’s bad ass Dave!! Enjoy!

 

[dave29]

Years ago I owned a 64 Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe K car. Car hauled ass!!! I can only imagine a 427 in the same car. Crazy! One of the few cars I regret selling.
LOve your Bolt. Hold on to it and enjoy it.

My best friends father once told us (1968??) that God only gave man enough blood to use one head at a time.

A whole lotta truth to that. You know why men name their penis’s? Would you want someone you don’t know making all your important decisions?
