1965 axx fairlanes

hello everybody im one of the manny new guys around here im currently building a 1965 hardtop straight axle fairlane and im looking for some pictures of afx , straight axle and race cars thanks

 

Search the Thunderbolt thread for Darrell Droke. He had the only 65 T-Bolt ever made. Also Apound here on the HAMB is restoring the Les Ritchey 65 ( also on the T Bolt Thread ). There is a 65 Straight axle car in Arizonia. Light Blue. Has been seen at the CHRR. BTW did you mean A/FX ??

 

Unless there are two light blue straight axle Fairlanes from AZ it is a 64.

 

Then there are 2...I have seen the pics from CHHR . Cool car. BTW I'm not 100% on the Arizonia thing. Seem to recall it having an Arizonia tag.

 

there are 64 t-bolts,don't know of any 65's

 

Here is a photo for you.

 

right on ,first one i seen

 

so only one made,so les ritcheys 65 is a clone?????

 

sorr guys i was in a hurry i ment a\fx

 

No, Les Ritchey's car was a D/S car. 289/271hp. Not a T-Bolt but cool factory car none the less. Car has been found and being restored by Apound here on the HAMB...

 

ok,thanks 6t5,i heard there is only 1

 

64 T-bolts were not straight axle cars from the factory. If there is any with straight axles, someone changed the factory front end. Ones with a straight axle would have run in a g***er cl*** not A/FX..

 

Post some pics when you get the axle under it. I'd love to see it.

 

Post some pictures if you can of what you have

 

i got a few on my profile

 

WOW Looks like a great build. Please keep us in the loop as you go.. What type of axle. Speedway, Econoline ??

 

its a speedway wilwood disk brakes chrome axle and for the rear 9 inch ford with crites thunderbolt traction arms /bars i just got done tubing the rear for the slicks

 

Any Progress ???
