True to its drag-race heritage, the car features lightweight fiberglass components including the hood, front fenders, and bumpers. The signature teardrop ram-air hood scoop replaces the inboard headlamps, just as on the original Thunderbolts, feeding cool air directly to the high-rise intake. Additional exterior details include period-correct trim deletes, hood pins, drag-spec steel wheels, and appropriately sized rear tires to provide the stance and traction expected from a factory-style competition car.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1656\"><strong data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1151\">Interior Features:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1656\">Inside, the car remains faithful to its lightweight racing roots. The cabin features Econoline-style bucket seats and a simplified dash layout. A dash-mounted tachometer, auxiliary gauges, and minimalist switchgear maintain the period-correct appearance, while the radio and heater delete further emphasize the Thunderbolt\u2019s original factory-built drag-car intent. The interior is clean, functional, and designed to mirror the no-nonsense performance focus of the 1964 originals.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"2306\"><strong data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"1673\">Drivetrain:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"2306\">Powering this Thunderbolt recreation is a formidable 427ci Ford FE High-Riser V8 with dual four-barrel carburetors breathing through the iconic ram-air setup. Originally rated at 425 horsepower\u2014the engine delivers the raw, period-correct performance for which Thunderbolts are known. Power is routed through a Borg-Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission and a heavy-duty Ford 9-inch rear end. Reinforced front suspension, traction bars, and correct-style headers with side-exit exhaust complete the drivetrain, ensuring the car performs as aggressively as it looks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"1964 Ford Thunderbolt Clone Burnout - Frank\u2019s Car Barn\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bAM-fS-G8D0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BK Auto Auctions presents this impressive 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Recreation, finished in classic Wimbledon White over a purpose-built lightweight racing interior.
