seems odd to me being a 427? thunder jet  not a 429 thunder jet  but the motor alone is maybe 1500.00  nice score ifn not a bad price     im guessin about 375 horse stock  hope the price is right

yeah my bad not a ford guy. its a 429. he just wants to get what he has in to it plus a few bucks. for a grand total of $500.00 he fixed the fuel lines and put front brakes in and drove it down the road and said the tranny works good. needs a new vinyl top but that woulden't take much. thanks for the info. :thumbs:

You probably wouldn't want that anyways... a 429 is pretty weak sauce. Better just let hillbilly les get it.


:D

looked a little harder at the thunder bird and she has had a fair amount of body work done on it in the past. looks like quarter sections on both sides and other rust repair here and there. alittle soft but not too bad i dont think. runs good tho. needs a manafold cracked and loud! so if anyone would like to come take a look at it let me know. will post up dated pic's soon.
