Not only dose he still have it he has rebuilt it and had the chassis done and will race when complete.

I dont think Hayden Proffitt was ever in a T-Bolt. He went from 421 Pontiacs, to409 and Z-11 Chev , to Plymouths (max wedge and Hemi, then to a 65 SOHC Comet and on into topless Corvair funny cars. AMC funny (Grant Rebel) cars to but I dont ever remember a 64 T-Bolt. Anyone have a picture of it if he did ?

I did get a pic of Ray Paquet's motor at Indy last year, but he told me not to let it get on the net cause you guys might learn all his secrets. : )

Correct. Hayden ran Mopars in 1964 and never had a T-bolt.

Okay I'll bite...but the Ford experts here will have to talk about any other info, facts and details on these, where they where built and how many were built, etc, or any other history on these 1964 Fairlane Thunderbolts.
