Moorhead Thunderbolt
« on: September 04, 2010 2:59 am »
I was surfing the web this evening and came across this pic on the HAMB.  I couldn't help but notice the lettering on the door.  Do any of the F-M guys have any info or history on this car??? Or perhaps even were it is today???

the guy was killed in that car in canada

stories have persisted for years on the fate of the wrecked car

It sat in a Wallwork building supposedly for years by the BN tracks  across from Mathisisons drafting supply

some other old guy with more info could fill this inn
If they exhist from this area and are older than me
 I had a book of all the Fargo Forum articles on racing  from the 60 s  but must have threw it away, bad mistake

It supposedly was in that bldg when i came back from Nam at last of 67

several of us young guys :roll: were discussing the Jack Sund  car crash and I obtained info that it suffered a spindle failure that had been fabricated by a steel company by the river
so that was why the car was saved was for evidence

so thats what I learned at Myres party on saturday
