Ford Thunderbolt? Kill - TundraTalk.net

Siggman · 04-30-2008, 04:33 PM

Anyone ever seen one of these. Lowered Ranger with duals and THUNDERBOLT decals on the tailgate and quarters. Is is something someone put together? Or a specialty truck. We ran from a dead stop me spinning a bit. He didnt. I have a RCSB with TRD CAI and duals. We only ran to about 70 where I had 3-4 car lengths. Now I have run Hemi's and full size Fords including a F-250 smoker and gained more distance. I would say this thing was as fast or faster than one of the Silverado SS's I have run. I was very impressed.

The Thunderbolt was written out. With a little lightning bolt.

Google is your friend...

SLP Thunderbolt

Doesn't look particularly special. Just a Ranger with some tacky add-on's and CAI/exhaust mods.

Thanks. I would think more than 222hp but it is light. Absolutley faster than a full size Ford F-150. Although he could have had more mods. And most likely did. He would give a Hemi a run for sure.

The main thing is you beat him. Coming close only matters with horseshoes and hand grenades.

I was wondering about a Thunderbolt kill.They where only made one year.It was a 1964 Ford Fairlane with a full tilt boogie 427 FE ram air high riser that was built to run against the 426 Hemi Cuda's and other light weight Super Stocks of the day.

Yell Buddy,so did I.Had several.Sure wished I'd kept all of them.Who knew they would be bringing 1,000,000 on BJ auction

1962 Super Duty Catalina Poncho
1964 426 Max wedge Plymouth Satilite
1965 Ace Wilson Royal Bobcat GTO (Used)
1969 440 light weight body Ram Charger Dodge,with the Racer Brown built engine with the Ram Charger induction system.
