"Holman Moody 1964 Ford Fairlane 7-litre at Goodwood

Wow! Thanks for the great info& pix, Joe. That '64 Fairlane has a great pedigree & lives up to it by being is even more badass than it looks. It really does look killer but I'd never have guessed that it was all that.

#655....  Joe
That 59 Thunderbird looked wild going around those curves.  Looked like most of the time it was going sideways  .   I even think that I saw the left front wheel come off the ground a couple of times.  Thanks for the great pictures.   That guy sure kept it under control.  It's too bad that the tail pipe hanger let loose.

Jay, the guy driving the T-Bird was Tom Kristensen, aka "Mr Le Mans".

You can see Kristensen hustle the Holman Moody-built '64 Fairlane Thunderbolt, (posts 644 & 657), around that track in the vid linked below. He started dead last in 29th place & won this race. And he only had one lap of practice!
If you scroll ahead to about the 7 minute mark you can see him going after one of the '63 galaxies.

Great stuff & a great driver. I loved that vid with the T-Bird too.

Great races you guys are posting. Thanks for the links.

Thanks Tom
   I looked at the video and he did come  up from behind and got right up front and won the race.  That was some amazing driving.

 I like pickups also....

The truck ain't bad either. I often wondered how many cars got messed up during a photo shoot with models. Guess most of them were probably 5'2" and 105#, so maybe not too many.
Great stance on that Ranchero.

Ranchero is nice but I'd rather have the Starliner behind it.
