BK Auto Auctions presents this impressive 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Recreation, finished in classic Wimbledon White over a purpose-built lightweight racing interior. This meticulously crafted tribute captures the essence of Ford’s iconic factory drag car and is powered by a strong 427ci FE High-Riser V8 paired with a Top Loader four-speed manual transmission. Built to honor the legendary Thunderbolt program, this car is being offered with a Clean Title and full build documentation.

Exterior Features:

This Thunderbolt recreation is finished in a beautiful, shining Red exterior. 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.

Interior Features:

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’s original factory-built drag-car intent. The interior is clean, functional, and designed to mirror the no-nonsense performance focus of the 1964 originals.

Drivetrain:

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—the 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.
