You mean the Tasca car.I think they had 406 in them to start. I also think it was 1962 and ran A/FX. In 1963 Tasca received another DST prepared Fairlane this time with a 427. This car was loaded with Fiberglass and was the Model for the 64 Thunderbolts...Geoff

They were indeed called "Lightning Bolts".
I have heard of a few from time to time and one went through Barett Jackson 3 years ago.
All I have heard is that they were 63 Fairlane base 2 door sedans that were specially prepped by "someone" for drag racing.
289 HP 4 speed and traction bars is all I know for sure.
There is another one in Hemmings. That's what brought it to my attention again.------------------
