Whats it worth ?

[3311steve]

I picked up a 1966 Ford Thunderbird Landau with a 429 V-8. The odometer reads 63,000 miles and is believed to be the actual milage. The interior is black leather in excellent shape. Car has the original am radio w/8 track that does work. Body is solid but neeeds paint. I was just wondering what this car might be worth.

Its worth whatever you will pay,,it costs as much as the seller wants and can get

429 ?? not the original engine

How do you know the engine is a 429?

[3311steve]

I'm sorry my mistake. It is the original 428 all matching numbers.

[Harley Eaton]

Please tell me what "all matching numbers " means..

block , carb numbers match the build sheet for this car. they are the original motor ,carb, and trans.

[Harley Eaton]

I do not believe there are any numbers on the block or build sheet to match up for the engine...

o.k thanks for the input

[3311steve]

I'm still wondering what this car may be worth. The interior is excelent and the body a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.

There is a tag on the block and the carb. The fenders and wheel wells also have numbers stamped into them that match the build sheet on my 66.

Go to Ebay and check out their 1964-66 Thunderbirds for sale. Compare prices with your engine and without. Also be sure to check completed listings as there you can get a real good idea of what it is worth. Purely a guess, but anywhere from 10-14 grand, but that is only a guess, and that is if it is fairly good condition.
