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.

We all loved the 101 Dalmatians movie, and one of the most prominent characters in it was the villain, Cruella de Vil. That has nothing to do with this car, but her name sure does remind us of it.
