1964 Ford Thunderbolt

Ford’s “Total Performance” program was well underway when Lee Iacocca hired Dearborn Steel Tubing Company to build a batch of special lightweight Ford Fairlanes for its top drag racing clientele. Stripped down, painted Wimbledon White and stuffed with 427 cubic inches of Galaxie V-8, the cars were dubbed “Thunderbolts”, and they struck drag racing like lightning. The 1964 Thunderbolt offered here is finished in factory correct Wimbledon White and displays the Thunderbolt’s trademark reverse teardrop hood scoop, Ram Air headlight openings and Spartan Beige interior.
