I have lots of old mag articles concerning the thunderbolt if I can answer particular questions. I can tell you this,High Rise center Oil,2x4's with the air induction set up like 63 light weight galaxies.
Extensive rear end fabbed traction bars and frame ties with 9 inch read,4.10 gears.Plexiglass side glass ,rubber mat with no sound insulation.Glass hoods and fenders,the early cars had glass front bumper but later was aluminum I think,something about rules dictated metal bumpers.{ I havent confirmed this}
They were two colors only initially,wimbleton white and a maroon with gold interiors.Pretty sure the seats are the same as early falcons,mustangs,econolines and broncos.Close to half were autos which were faster.They had FMX lincoln trannys,toploaders for the rest.No heater or radio of course.
All cars were 500 sedans with chrome trim containing a black stripe.Factory with 9 inch slicks on kelsey hayes wheels.Battery in the right hand trunk,I belive 3 spring leaves on the right rear and 4 on the left ,the cars set slightly unlevel when parked.
try this web site ,very good pics and info,some of the stories will make you sick,good luck and hope I was of some small help,i want one too,lol.I
