The 1964 427 Thunderbolt Fairlane was a specially prepared lightweight drag vehicle capable of operating in the low 11-second bracket.
The car came equipped with a 427 High Riser racer engine with a unique Ram Air induction system, dual four-barrel Holley carburetion, 12 to 1 compression ratio, tubular headers, aluminum scatter shield, four-speed transmission, revised drag suspension, trunk mounted battery, electric fuel pump, heavy-duty brakes, tachometer, gauges, special wheels and drag tires.
This vehicle was the #2 unit built and was delivered in October of 1963. The car was restored to 1964 'match race' configuration, including an aluminum radiator and water pump, Plexiglas windshield, fiberglass doors, and ultra-light hood and front fenders.
Even a set of the original tires and rims that ran on the car from 1964 were located and incorporated in the restoration. All of the original body components, Plexiglas, and exterior trim were refurbished and retained. The re-lettering of the car was done by the same person who originally lettered the car in 1963.
A total of 100 units, 41 four-speed, and 59 automatic transmissions were built. Of those original Thunderbolts, there are approximately 60 still in existence.
