Don't ya hate it when they get the facts wrong. First they're making a Thunderbolt out of a sports coupe and then the number of t-bolts made. They say only 50 WRONG! _________________ Steve 64 S/C big brakes 8.8 rear 289 lentech AOD, strut front suspension

Wrecks to riches
Come up here and dig one out of an orchard, you won't be finishing it in 3 weeks, you would be lucky if the roof was still there. That body was in fantastic shape. Ya can't make a Tbolt out of a hardtop, it's just not right.

Ya that really bugged me when they kept calling it a Thunderbolt. Call it a Sports Coupe. Was a nice car but I wouldn't have paid $65 grand for it. I guess that makes mine worth at least 40. Ya right!LOL _________________ Steve 64 S/C big brakes 8.8 rear 289 lentech AOD, strut front suspension

Colour
As far as I know they were burgundy or white, most race teams repainted them.
