1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt

Released as a Precision 100 model (along with a handful of other models) to celebrate 100th anniversary of Ford, these were later released by Ertl Authentics & AutoWorld. Ford produced 100 of these drag racing versions of the Fairlane in 1964. Powered by a 425hp (and likely underrated) 427ci V8, these Thunderbolts brought Ford the 1964 NHRA Super Stock Championship.
I don't collect drag cars, but am a big fan of the Ford brand & always really liked this model. I wouldn't say its a great looking car, but I like the history & the model itself is absolutely loaded with cool details.
