The car-buying public thought differently of racing in the early 1960s, and the American automakers knew that cars that won races were great tools to drive customers to dealer showrooms. You know the old saying, what “won on Sunday sold on Monday”,
This 1964 Ford Thunderbolt from The Brothers Collection is a great example of such a machine, a car that still looked recognizable to the masses as a new 1964 Fairlane, but had the chops to get the job done in Super Stock drag racing.
A lightweight chassis and tons of power make this 427 Ford Thunderbolt an awesome Muscle Car Of The Week from The Brothers Collection!

Behold the mighty Termite, a 1964 Ford Falcon that ran hard enough in the heyday of the AHRA to knock down a couple records with it’s hard-charging 260-cube V8. From The Brothers Collection.

This week, we spend some time with an amazing 1970 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 that was used as the development car for Ford's performance parts program. The idea was to help people build Trans Am spec racers of their own using some help from Ford and Kar Kraft engineers. The Brothers Collection is faster… and louder… thanks to this historic racer and it's cool history!
