hi i have wanted a thunderbolt (well fairlanes of any kind) since i was a kid and watched em burn the strips..i bought this 64 2dr h/t wanting to build a clone..but old age has crept up on me so i am either going to sell it as a project or part it out...either way i sure hate to see it go... link's....http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa84/rcplumley/60 64 ford cars/ http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa84/rcplumley/65 75 ford cars/
Here s mine... 65 Fairlane 500 Station...289cui, cruise-o-matic. Metalflake Roof and Tiki Style Interieur... I'm going to lower it and put some skinny whites on it....
Those quarters and lower fenders look way too solid to think about parting that.....unless we're missing something...
i hate to part it but i have tried to sell it complete but all the offers i have had were laughable..like someone said it has a solid body even the floors..missing the hood (can get a teardrop hood)..but right now it is worth more as parts than a complete car it seems...i have way to many projects going now that i will never have time in this life to finish my dream thunderbolt...if someone wants it complete make me a reasonable offer...i have had several requests for parts from her and plan on doing something soon..would really like to see it go to someone who would do whats right!!!
you can see what i mean if you look at the albums in here marked projects....i have bite off way more that i can chew right now...ha ha ha ha ha http://s202.photobucket.com/home/rcplumley/allalbums
+1 I'm curious as well. 1lowbuckrodder, I also see the rear fenderwell opening profile stays the same, except up a couple inches. I was considering doing that to mine. Any idea how much it was moved up?
283c.i. sbc w/6-2s muncie 4 spd, dana 60, ive never raced the car, but was raced years ago, i dont know the details,, wheel wells were modified before i got the car
Just a little bit of print, here's our moment of glory on the 65 we just finished up. Click on the pictures for a larger image.
Here's my old one, a 64 K-code car, sold it to a guy in Colorado, sure do miss it! Thaqt was one hellava fun car, even the wife was mad i sold it
Here's my '62 I had a few years back. It was a daily driver, but not very good at it, too many bugs needed to be worked out so I sold if for a new car. It had a 302 with a C4, and flowmasters dumped before the rear end, man did it sound great. Would like to build a 64 someday, but it'll have to wait til I'm done with a 57 F100.
You may have seen me post in another thread, but here she is... 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Galaxie Skyliner. (yes, it's both Fairlane and Galaxie, 6 months only they were badged w both) She is getting a 62 3x2 setup on the 352 soon. Pulled her out of a crowd of Caddys and surrounded by bushes after 10 years of begging the owner to sell. The black 57 is one we finished restoring last year and it's behind my bodyman's 66 Ford.
It runs a pretty heavy duty 69' 351w hooked up to a toploader. We put in a new Comp II clutch and a Detroit locker with 4:11s this winter...now I just need the snow to melt. I don't know if you are into YouTube (I can loose a half a day there) but check it out if you want to hear it run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL_5oRLMZwI Thanks alot for the compliment. Take Care, CM
Me too.... my 1969 Torino Cobra jet note no hood scoop classic "Q" car Super Cobrajet option locker 4.30 C-6. Note all the class win stickers by the time I sold it both back windows were full and a new row started on the back of the drivers window. For member The shocker you can see my slapper bars in this photo. At Lebanon Valley probably in late 80's hood scoop installed and a move up to E/sa. for more competition. Note now has 9" M&H full slicks much better than the 7" ones. If you have real good eyes you can just make out my license plate IDRAG.
