i stand corrected it appears Robert Pond appears to have the Calvert thunderbolt. I thought he bought John Cooper’s thunderbolt as well.

He did buy Cooper's car as well. Everyone needs a spare!

I wonder if either 64 Fairlane will stay automatic for long? Calverts used to be a stick car earlier on.

Interesting new developments here. Robert Pond with two slushbox TBolts !t looks like he has gotten the hang of that one quickly.

The V6 is interesting, any pictures of the engine? I assume one of the 90's Busch series oval track engines rather than a 3.7 Mustang or 4.0L Explorer version.

I'm guessing the older 3.8, the heads look exactly like aluminum cleveland's. 1.73 rockers and splayed valves and all. Always thought it was an excellent basis for a race motor, just not stock with the little 2bbl. Oh, and same sbf bellhousing.

Plan I heard was to sell the white one and focus on the Burgundy one.
