Description : Gateway classic cars of Nashville is proud to digitally present this 1964 Ford Thunderbolt Tribute. Since Ford decided to only build 100 of these incredible cars a lot of builders out there have been making their own for years and this is the nicest Tribute to the Thunderbolt that I have seen. She is looking sweet all dressed up in her Red paint that shines like a new penny. The interior looks just as good and I am sure you have looked through all the photos of this car so let get to the meat! The block is a 1986 NON HO 302 that kept its original bore. The heads are from 1968 and have been ported and had the larger 351 Windsor valves installed. Comp Cams hydraulic roller bump stick lifts the followers pushing hardened push rods to operate the roller tip rocker arms. Screw in studs and guide plate keep everything working together. A double roller timing chain keeps everything in sync. Intake is Edlebrock performer (R) and has an Autolite 600 CFM carburetor sitting on top. The transmission is from a 1987 Mustang and gives you one more gear than you would have gotten in 1964. A ford 9-inch housing with 3.50:1 gears and a traction lock center section does the duty of splitting the power between the rear tires. For the suspension up front all new joints and bushing with an oversized sway bar. Rear is leaf springs with custom made nylon adapters and traction bars to help hold the power to the tires. The brakes were kept stock to look the part but all new and are fed Silicone brake fluid. All of the power steering components have been rebuilt and of course new hoses were installed. I could tell you about the Dura Spark ignition module, the radio, speakers and even battery cables as I have the build book that is at least 3 inches thick. Please call for more information and make this your new favorite classic. Options for this 1964 Fairlane thunderbolt tribute include: AM/FM radio, Power steering, Vinyl interior, Radial tires, Alloy rims, Posi traction and dual exhaust to name a few.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
