Ford Fairlane (1964) for Sale in IL

This 1964 Ford Thunderbolt recreation is a meticulously crafted tribute to one of the most iconic cars in drag racing history. Although it's not an original factory-built Thunderbolt (only 100 were made), this recreation is as close as you can get to the real thing, closely mirroring the first 11 Thunderbolts ever built for legendary drag racers like Mickey Thompson and Butch Leal. Powered by a factory-spec 427ci High Riser V8, designed for both street and strip use. It's paired with a close-ratio Hurst-shifted Toploader 4-speed transmission and a 31-spline, 3.50 gear ratio traction-lock Ford 9" rear end. The 427 High Riser engine delivers immense power and performance, maintaining a perfect balance for both street safety and drag-strip readiness.
