What’s this, the Ford Thunderbolt? Well, it’s a limited-production special of the Ford Fairlane 500 produced in 1964 exclusively for drag racing. Reportedly, only 100 cars were officially made, in manual and automatic transmission variants. One of them secured the 1964 NHRA Super Stock Championship for the Blue Oval. As you’d imagine, a proper Thunderbolt would be expensive, if you can find one at all. Thankfully, we’ve got the next best thing, a 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone from New Ulm, Minnesota. This lovely tribute comes with the requisite 427 under the hood, and under 84,000 miles on the clock.
Dressed in white, this 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone is definitely not your average Fairlane 500. For starters, you’ll note the absence of the inner headlamps, designed to aid cooling of that massive engine. Then, the sizable air dam atop the hood comes into view. As the car’s side profile emerges, you’ll see its special Thunderbolt decals, as well as the drag-spec tires wrapped around silver alloy wheels. Yes, this car has purpose, and its purpose is to leap off the line as fast as possible. That’s why the interior of this 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone is also heavily modified with a focus on racing. The rear seats have been ripped out to make space for the substantial roll cage that is necessary when competing in the quarter-mile shootout that this car is designed for. However, the dashboard and door cards remain largely stock to the Fairlane 500, which contributed to its being made into this tribute. The gear shifter, however, has been replaced with a drag special unit. Popping the trunk reveals a very cleanly painted space with the battery relocated here for better weight distribution as well as for safety reasons.
The monster 427ci V8 that powers this 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone is ever ready to catapult it (and you) off the line with tenacious ferocity. It’s a side oiler, we’re told, and hooked up to a drag spec automatic gearbox. With rear-wheel drive, you’d better have your wits about you, as until those tires hook up, the only thing keeping you from sliding around is your brains and throttle pedal control.
The Ford Fairlane is a well-known Fifties automobile from the legendary company founded by Henry Ford. In fact, Fair Lane is the name of Henry Ford’s sprawling Dearborn-based estate, which was named after the place in Ireland where his adoptive grandfather was born. Naming a model after your founder’s home is indeed a fine accolade, and the Ford Fairlane lived up to its expectations. Seven generations were made between 1955 and 1970, and here’s where another iconic Ford nameplate was born – Crown Victoria. That’s what we have here, a 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria from the first generation of the Fairlane series and with just 1,320 miles on the. The car comes with a 272ci Y-block V8, a manual transmission and a two-tone paint job. It’s the perfect classic car for fans of American automobiles, especially those who have an affinity for Fords.
The Ford Fairlane is a legendary name in the Blue Oval’s history, and fittingly, it takes its name from Henry Ford’s famed estate in Dearborn, Michigan. Introduced in 1955, the Fairlane spawned a variety of trims and offshoots—including the Crown Victoria and the 500—that helped define the mid-century American driving experience. While the Fairlane name was also used in overseas models, nothing beats the charm of an original American-built Sunliner like this one. Presented here is a beautifully restored 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner, located in Holtsville, New York, with just over 7,000 miles since its restoration. Among its standout features are a Continental Kit, Searchlight Mirrors, and a glove box signed by Gale Halderman—the man who not only worked on redesigning the ’57 Fairlane but also went on to pen the first-generation Mustang. According to the seller, full restoration documentation and photos are available upon request.

Ford’s Bronco was the first Sport Utility Vehicle – that’s SUV to you and me – to be developed by Ford. When it was released in 1966, it became clear that the Blue Oval had knocked it out of the park on their first try. The Bronco would be a sales success, with five generations made until 1996, then a twenty five year hiatus and a fine sixth generation that continues on sale to this day. Owning a classic Bronco is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got one vehicle up for grabs today. Here’s a second-generation 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT up for sale in Downey, California. The second generation was introduced in 1978, making this vehicle straight from the first year of production.

With its funky removable doors and option of a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a soft top, Ford’s Bronco is truly an off-roader like no other. Even today, the sixth-generation Bronco offers these features, rivaled only by the Jeep Wrangler. Ford started making Broncos in 1966 and ran through five generations by 1996. Then, they took a 25-year break before resuming Bronco production in 2021. Today’s 1975 Ford Bronco comes from the first generation and has got a punchy 302ci V8 to move it along.

If that sounds like you, contact us as we can hook you up with this Arizona-based Bronco.
