Hey Guys...Gaspar Rhonda's (one...very...very...special "dude"/gentleman/racer!) '64 NHRA World Champion Russ Davis Ford Thunderbolt...think it ended up in Pacific Northwest (Jeff Wittig?)...purchased by..."Mad Dawg" Bob Glidden hisself...realizing early on... he had no time for this "project"...longtime friends/ early crew Harold Stout/Larry Spain initially ran the car in the red/white/blue Glidden/Allen "colors"...later going all red paint...sold to Willie D. & son Lyle Smith...good guys/racers... in Florida who raced it a few years (still own)...for sure Dallas Kelly ran his "Homewrecker" T-bolt hard early-mid '70's as well...Oklahoma's Connie Moore/ Michigan-Ray Pacquet came to the "party"... a lil' later in the "fray"... (still the basis of Ray's "today" car)...over on the H.A.M.B....hokey *** message board section...there is a thread dedicated to Thunderbolts...a awful lot of early info/photos...about 200 pages long...guess there's still a lot of interest...in the ol' Ford shoebox...as "Nazy Crate" called 'em...
