Welcome to my website, which is dedicated to the 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt. These 100, special purpose built drag cars, helped Ford Motor Company capture the NHRA Super Stock title that year.
-----------------------------------
In 1964, exactly 100 Fairlane 2 door sedans were partially built by the Ford Motor Company and shipped to Dearborn Steel Tubing for completion. These cars were finished as drag race-only machines for Super Stock, Super Stock Automatic, and A/FX class competition. Many had glamorous careers, while some had accidents with tragic results.
Today, Thunderbolts are highly valued collector and nostalgic racers. Many are still known to exist, and most that aren't around are known to have been wrecked.
Please mail me if you have any pictures, history or anything associated with these awesome, once in a lifetime cars. Thanks!!

Please let me know if you have any ideas or contributions for the site makeover. I am redoing a bunch of my stuff and changing it up a little. I'd love to include more stories and photos, so if you have any ideas, pictures, or recollections send them to craigsutton427@yahoo.com. Make sure you put "thunderbolt" in the subject line. Thanks!

If you send a photo, please email me afterwards to make sure I received it. If I would get a huge file that was too large for the inbox, it would get lost and I'd never know you sent anything. If I don't reply to your message, send one without photos to make sure we get in touch.
