The only real desirable thunder bolts where 64's. any road the cut off at the HAMB is 1964.

 

save your time & energy until you can find a '64 - if you want to build a 60's type hot rod go ahead - just do not call a '65 a Thunderbolt - cut off year here is '65

 

Measured from my hardtop:

Top line - 45 7/8”
Center - 47 5/8”
Bottom - 45 1/4”

I believe Darrell Droke campaigned a big block 65 for Downey.

I’ve picked up some parts from Crites. They specialize in that era Fairlane and make “Thunderbolt” type parts.

Looks like a '64 you've pictured. '65 is Hamb material. There was exactly one documented '65 Thunderbolt built. Good luck.

 

I didn’t even notice the picture. Definitely not a 65. My measurements may or may not be any good for you.

What about Darrell Drokes Factory 65 Thundertbolt ???

 

That’s too bad cause I sure would like to own this 65...

 

Tear drop hood with a 427 is a good start!

 

look what is next to the 55 wagon. I also have another red and white Htp. and two four doors for parts. one four door has rust free quarters. When folks state thunderbolt the 64 is what I think of.

 

Guess you forgot about the DST built T Bolt 65 of Darrell Droke

 

Wonder why DST got the build? Looks to be a regular small block Fairlane.
