This guy has a opening bid of $3500 for a rusty 429 Ford engine!


It's a "nothing" Thunder-Jet engine worth around $200 in the real world but, he has it in this mind that is some ultra rare piece of Ford Racing history it seems!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:


The real funny part is he just revised it to a $3500 opening bid , when he first listed it it was $6500 opening bid!!!!!:rolf :rolf



I really wonder what he bought this thing for since he thinks it's so rare???



Yea, I always list my items on ebay with pictures like he posted with this ad?



A really want to buy a engine that is solid rust, laying in some backyard in the dirt next to a pushmower.......A picture says a 1000 words hey?????:rolf



I wonder if I should drive my 1966 428 4 speed Galaxie up to Al's salvage yard and see if they could toss it up on a pile of old Dodge minivans and Crown Vic taxis to use for my pictures for the ebay ad to sell the car?:alcoholic :alcoholic

I'll give him whatever scrap value may be.

"I hope you are just joking on the price. I just picked up a running one with 69,000 miles on it for $600. If it is a joke it is pretty funny :) That would be awsome if you got some dumbass who thought it was actually worth more than $100 to buy it."


I sent him a message. I didn't actually buy one, I guy I work with who restores 66-72 mustangs did. I called him up to ask what it was worth, thats when he told me he just bought one. His came with a trans too. :chair:

Yea, a 429 / 460 core engine are not that valueable......This rusty block and heads might be worth a couple hundred.....I have found complete running 460 engines with c-6 transmissions for $500 - 600...


They are getting a little harder to find as most of the cars and trucks they came in were gone a long time ago.....


The good thing is you can take a 460 block to 0.80 with no problems, some can go even bigger but, I would sonic test at that point.......


I wanted to keep my 460 big block standard bore and 4.300 stroke to make a 514 cid but, there was a taper at the bottom of the bore that would only clean up with a 0.30 overbore so I ended up with a 521 cid......

"this is the rarest most powerful FORD engine"

This is the part that made me laugh.
