Towards the end of his life, Dyno Don Nicholson was building 1964 Ford Fairlanes with 460 stroker Ford engines called Lightning Bolts. Only 3 were ever completed.

One of the first model cars I built was a Thunderbolt. I painted it yellow. It still looks like a beast.

In a phone chat many years ago Carl told me about driving the Iowa Shaker Falcon owned by Dick Walter's Ford. On the shift from 1st to 2nd the seat broke loose and ended up in the back. Good lookin Bolt Carl!

Great video. Was any part of the original engine utilized in this build?
@MacMedia12111 ай бұрын
The original engine blew out when on the engine dyno. The owner decided to keep the original engine on a stand with the car so the entire factory vehicle was still there.

@DustinBaerwolf-kv9jx, '63 Impala Z11 cars were junk which is why Junior Johnson switched to Ford in '64. Z11 engines kept breaking.
