Vehicle Description
1970 Mustang Boss 429 for sale, documented, matching numbers, Marti report LMC is proud to offer such a fine example of the storied "Boss 9" Mustangs The Boss 429 is arguably one of the rarest and most valued muscle cars to date. The origin of the Boss 429 comes about as a result of NASCAR. Ford was seeking to develop a Hemi engine that could compete with the famed 426 Hemi from Chrysler in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series (then known as "Grand National Division"). NASCAR's homologation rules required that at least 500 cars be fitted with this motor and sold to the general public. After much consideration, it was decided by Ford that the Mustang would be the car that would house this new engine. In 1970 there were only 499 Boss 429s made by Ford Motor Company. There were five new exterior colors (Grabber Orange, Grabber Green, Grabber Blue, Calypso Coral, and Pastel Blue) and the interior was available in Black or White & Black. The hood scoops for this year were all painted matte black regardless of the color of the car. These cars also had a manual transmission and no AC was available, again due to the size of the engine. The Hurst Shifter was also standard equipment for this year. To show just how special these cars were, they were given special NASCAR identification that was placed on the driver's side door. Each car was given a "KK" number which stood for Kar Kraft. This very rare and collectible factory Calypso Coral Boss 9 still maintains its matching number engine and was part of a prominent Museum Collection and a feature car in Musclecar Review. A very dry original southern Boss with the original primer drips on the oxide floor with black sound deadener just as it left the factory . A fantastic body that was painted in base/clear then wet sanded and polished to a show finish. this very special cars still retains its original paint in the door jams and inside the trunk area. The Boss 429 engine is backed by the prerequisite toploader 4 speed transmission with the Hurst shifter and a 3.91 Traction Lok differential.
