thunderbolt registry

Anyone with $3780 ($200 more for automatic) could walk into a Ford dealer and order a Thunderbolt. Still, just one was assembled in 1963, 100 were built in '64, and two were built in '65. These were real race cars, and few went to battle on the public highways

The 289 was run in by Ron Scott and Les Ritchie.Performance associates California

CLOSE RON ROOT AN LA PD OFFICER AT THE TIME. THIS CAR WAS TWEAKED BY THE GURUS AT THE PERFORMANCE GARAGE

64 TBOLT. No 63 T-Bolt was ever made by Ford. TASCA in RI made a 406 63 Fairlane to prove to Ford it could be done. Only 1 was made in 65

NO I'm not close I am right and so are you, the facts are the 289 car was owned by Ron Scott and Les Ritchie and was driven by Ron Root LAPD cop .

Call Dennis Kolodiej in Dearborn , he has 2 T bolts , or larry Davis in Heuytown Alabama . he has also owned a few , 1 of Dennis' cars is the 2nd one built , he has all the factory records on every one of these cars . he is quite protective of the stuff and will not release too much info ( understandably ) but would enjoy talking to you about these cars , Iam sure he will be able to answer any of your questions about where these cars went.. Their phone#s should be listed in local directories , try directory assitance if no luck I will come up with their numbers for you when I get a chance

I really don't want to talk to anyone thats protective of the info on these Thunderbolts ..After all they are just some old cars no big deal.Thanks anyway.
