Sold and transported from Manchester, MD to Baltimore, MD

DESCRIPTION:

Here is a rare opportunity to own a professionally built 1964 Ford Fairlane 454 Stroker FE Thunderbolt tribute who’s engineering, and performance is beyond what the Ford Motor Company had in mind when they contracted Dearborn Steel Tubing to design and build the original “T-Bolts” back in 1963. As you can see in the video, both the power and handling of this Fairlane makes it a strong performer and a pleasure to drive. The sale includes documents and photographs of the ‘ground up’ build that was completed in 2015. It has been driven less than 9,000 miles in that time and never raced or tracked.

Please note the compression on the engine is 12:1 and it should be run on 110 octane fuel or higher.

This T-Bolt tribute is currently on its third owner who removed the ‘stickers’ from one side of the car to give it both a subtle appearance as well as a ‘60’s competition look. There are no paint imperfections from the decal removal. Please note the owner WILL NOT remove the decals from the other side. It is an option left open to the new owner to perform.
