Hi my name is John Kuhn and I live in South Haven, Mich. I have a 64 Fairlane that was built by John Ronda for his dad Gas Ronda. I have been around drag racing since 1964 and do like the sport. I hope to bring my car to one of your meets this year. I will post pictures later on. Hope to learn what you guys are doing and find Nostalgia drag events.

As far as I know there was only one. I think he started out with a white one and painted it Poppy Red. There were 11 built that were Maroon, Those were the first eleven and after that they were all white. This information is from the reading I have been doing on the T Bolts. Mine is supposed to close to what he started with according to his son who did the suspension upgrades on the car. The original is in the NHRA Hall of Fame Museum from what I have been told. Hope this helps. There were 111 of them built by Ford. A lot of clones have been built plus all the origanal ones were sedans. Mine is a hardtop as a lot of the clones are. Sedans are getting hard to find.
