As far as how rare the car is with the Thunder Jet 429, a total of 64,931 T-Birds were built in 1968. The first six months with the 390 and the second six months with the 429. There is currently one on eBay, "Buy it now" price $8975

Side Oiler?? There's your first clue the story is bogus. The only Side Oilers were 427's. Completely different engines.
