When I think of TearDrop I think of the 1964 Ford Thunderbolt Fairlane 427. 500-550 Horsepower. 11.76 @ 122.78 MPH. Won six of seven NHRA division titles in '64.

Indeed!

The Thunderbolts were amazing machines, Sox & Martin were running them before they made the switch to Chrysler, and what is amazing is that of the 100 Thunderbolts that were built in 1964, 20 of them survived to show up at Carlisle Pennsylvania 40 years later.
