Thanks Greg for taking the time to post a pic of this extremely rare car. I would have agreed with kevin about this car being Schmitt's car because I don't think there were but a couple of '64 lightweights built. That's why the documentation on this car is very important. As most know Ford was spending a large chunk of their drag racing promo budget on the Thunderbolt. I don't know the facts but do know that the '63 lightweight program was not as competitive as hoped. The unibody Mopars still had a big weight advantage over the reduced bulk Galaxies. Hence the Thunderbolt '64 Fairlane of which there were a couple of '63 "prototypes" built. By '64 I don't think Ford was supporting the lightweight Big Ford. So you've found one of very very few I think. The '63 Lightweights are big $ as are the '64 T-bolts. A '64 Lightweight.....whoa. |
