Ford made a 429 thunderjet for the galaxy 500 and other larger models.
So by putting this 429 into a mustang will make it more valuable?

How does this Thunderjet differ from say, a CobraJet? Was it something exclusive to the Galaxie/Tbird model line?

As far as the value of the car goes, who knows? Need pics.

Did you mean 'Thunderbolt'? The 427 side oiler in a Fairlane/Galaxy.

ya they actually did make a "thunderjet" that was a 428 that was a variation of the 428 police interceptors and mauraders.

as far as making it more valueable.....really depends. whats in there now? if its a mach 1 or boss with the original engine.....no

Well. I'll be dog-goned. I had never heard of a Thunderjet, but google it and there it is.
Always learning something in here.
