It's a really neat car with that documentation as the first white car, glass doors, and factory support and a first class resto I'd think it would bring a premium.

[Belair62]

Check out those headers and the carpet savers....damn cool.

[55chevy]

The single exhaust pipe and muffler is almost comical.. Were they actually delivered with full exhaust?? I thought they had headers only.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Neat it's an Automatic too. I think it's the first Auto/T-bolt I've seen..

[JoeG]

Those R&D guys must have had a ball thinking up these cars back then----And then be given the go ahead to build them-- http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[DaJudge]

T-bolts are http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Would love to see this car go through Barret Jackson, they are very rare and would think that this car will sell for a a premium. I want one !

My favorite factory race car

[Belair62]

What ? Super Duty is not you favorite Mike ? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Canucklehead]

The Mickey Thompson "one of a kind" 427 hemi T-Bolt was appraised at $500k and last i heard had an asking price of $300k. Was #10 of the first 11 that were delivered from ford and were the only ones out of 100 that were delivered in Maroon. The rest were white, so i gather that this one is #12.

My favorite factory Drag Car is still the '64 A/FX 427 Falcon. That thing congers up thoughts of the bear in the woods that wiped his ass with the bunny.. The Falcon did the same thing with the T-bolt. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

There you go --all this time I thought the bears used Charmin-----------

[Pantera]

There was one still out in a salvage yard here in Tulsa for quite a few years. Burl Hawkins broke the front u-joint of his driveshaft in the lights and rolled it. Last time I saw it there was not much left of it. He quit racing after that. It messed up his back bad in the wreck.

I sure remember when he and my friend and neighbor Weldon Christian would go at each other. Weldon Had a slew of fast Mopars including a 66 hemi car finally.

Burl may still be alive. I haven't seen him in years now.

[Charley Lillard]

Pantera..You need to go back to that junkyard and see if anything is left.

[Pantera]

Charlie, Do you think I have not kicked myself at least a dozen times because I didn't buy it back then. They crushed all the hi-perf iron in the backlot back abut '76-77.

There was a new Dodge Charger R/t next to it also.
Ouch....!!! If I had known these would be so valuable I could have bought all of them for little or nothing. That Charger was loaded too. It belonged to a local hamberger shops 16 yr old daughter that was killed in it when it only had a few thousand miles on it. I drive by the tree she hit every once in a while and you can still see the bark missing off it to this day. Dam was she a looker too. Her brother ran a 426 cross ram '64 beliveder.
