Originally built by Ford as a one-year, factory experimental, limited production vehicle, the 1964 Ford Thunderbolt only saw 100 units of production. The Thunderbolt used a version of the 7-liter engine usually seen in the much larger Galaxie platform. Utilizing many of the original drag racing features, this beautiful recreation captures the essence of the original factory drag racer and has undergone a complete restoration.
