"This thunderbolt was originally campaigned out of Virginia by Wayne Jones Ford. After the Wayne Jones involvement Tom Caldera bought it from Johnny Wenegar in Salem, Virginia, March 1974. Caldera’s purchase teamed with partner Nate Cohen decided to campaign the NHRA trail at that time. Nate Cohen was owner of Nazy Crate Enterprises in Freehold, NJ and was a hard charging Ford fanatic until his untimely death in April of 1980. Tom was owner of T&F Autobody and wanted to showcase his talents on a car and Nate would fulfill his need to fill the G force on the drag strip by working his magic on the Thunderbolt."-- http://www.nazycrate.com/

"Thirty years and many Thunderbolt restorations later, DeLisio got a phone call from Vindicator Racing's Drake Viscome, who had heard from Tom Caldara that Nazy Crate was for sale. DeLisio gave Caldara a call."
