Mickey Thompson's 1964 FORD 427 HEMI THUNDERBOLT

"T-Bolts" are rare, but Mickey Thompson's Hemi-powered version is the rarest version of them all!!!"
This car is extremely RARE and is one of the most sought after "Muscle Cars" in the world! The car has been fully restored and is in showroom condition. The car was appraised at $500,000 in 1999 and has photo / other documentation included.
In 1964, Ford Company built only 100 factory light weight Thunderbolts. The first 11 were painted Vintage Burgundy, the remaining 89 were painted Wimbledon White. Today 40 years later, less than 60 originals are known to exist. This car number 10, is even rarer. It was Ford's first experiment with a Hemispherical head engine. Car number 10 was the second "Thunderbolt" sold to Mickey Thompson for $1.00. He also purchased car #7 which was driven By Butch Leal as an unaltered factory original. It was the car #10 that Mickey entered into a contract with Ford to design and engineer a hemispherical head version of the Ford 427 Center oiler engine. The heads were cast from Chrysler hemi heads and machined to fit the Ford block. The intake manifold was designed with the carburetors side by side. The name "Thompson" was cast directly into the valve covers.
