1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

 Many collectors believe that the 1969-1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 to be the prominent muscle car of the entire era, due in part to its large 429 cubic inch NASCAR motor and its very low production.

The Boss 429 was a hand-built muscle car intended solely to satisfy the rule of NASCAR—and consequently became one of the most unique Mustangs ever made.  NASCAR required at least 500 production installations, but didn’t specify which models. So although Torinos showed up at the track, Ford qualified the engine by selling it in Mustangs. Its uniqueness lies in its rarity, its engine, and simply for the fact that so much effort went into modifying the basic Mustang to make the Boss 429 engine fit.  The coupe was longer than previous models and sported convex rather than concave side “lines.” 

Only 859 were made in the two-year production run. These rare cars were taken off the regular production line and sent to Kar Kraft in Dearborn, MI.  Our car was purchased new in New York and sent to Tasca Ford in Providence, Rhode Island (a famous race car preparation shop) and made into a 1/4 mile drag car. 

She has only 2,000 original miles (albeit 1/4 mile at a time) and is all-original.  She primarily ran races along the eastern seaboard – and had moderate success.  Featured in a drag racing magazine in 1970 – she is well-documented to be a 10.5 second 1/4 mile racer.
