Features Ford Thunderbolts Photos Wanted

Rather than look for something that isn't in the 141 pages of this thread, can anybody remember seeing any photos of the Tasca '63 Fairlane 427, prototype for the Thunderbolts?

 

Here ya go....I also a magazine with an article about a 63 Fairlane being turned into what became the 64 Thrunderbolt

 

Thanks for that, I can remember one photo of a white one in the pits, are these the same car repainted or did they build more than one?

 

Check this Super stock thread I posted some of both the lt blue and the red one.

And the Tasca thread Most of them are in here

Come on lotto numbers....

 

The ever controversial 1965 T Bolt

 

Not from Ford....

 

If you look back pretty long ago in this thread this was discussed and discussed by the T Bolt "experts" in here. The final consensuses was that it was real and a real T-Bolt. The ONLY 1965 that was real.

 

Who built it?

 

Can't remember this was all some time ago but I know I have posted a few more shots of it.

 

Just found the talk about two of them way back starting at post 730 if you are interested.

And these photos

Darrell Droke's 1965 Fairlane which is was the only '65 Thunderbolt.

 

Outstanding!! Any other pics of this car? Love the narrowed rear look of this car, adding extra meats without having them hang outboard. This car has what I consider classic tire sizing!!

 

The driver of this car was John Donilson. I think he died in it, maybe circa 1966.

 

I dig 65 Fairlanes....almost bought one, couldn’t come up with the $$ fast enough..not a real desirable car and I don’t know why..

 

If you want to see some pictures of superstock cars of all makes check out a website called George Klass Remembers....

 

Ford commissioned DST with instructions to be built like the 64"s.

 

DST Built this one....
