00:04This is the only car that scared the competition and humiliated the sport itself.
00:09So fast it got banned from the very stage it was built to dominate.
00:13The 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt, America's factory-built street outlaw.
00:19Born from Ford's warpath to crush the Corvette and mop the floor with Mopars,
00:24this car wasn't made for comfort.
00:25It was made to intimidate.
00:26Under the hood, a 427-cubic-inch FEV8 ripped straight from Ford's NASCAR playbook.
00:34Zero to 60 in under four seconds, quarter mile in the low 11s,
00:38and with a top speed over 160 miles per hour.
00:41Today, the Fairlane Thunderbolt is a ghost of forbidden power,
00:45a rare beast that reminds us what happens when engineers go rogue and build without mercy.
00:50It's not just a car.
00:51It's a weapon Ford unleashed on the world and then had to lock away.
00:57Here's the perfect damage.
