For sale in our Dallas Fort Worth showroom is the famous, concours
restored, Ford Mustang Boss 429! In 1970 Ford produced just 499 of
these to compete with Chrysler's 426 Hemi in the NASCAR circuit.
These engines were severely underrated at 375 horsepower. Some
sources say actual horsepower was far and beyond 500, in fact this
car was actually put on a dyno during restoration and is rated at
590! In order to fit this engine in the Mustang, Ford contracted
out the work to Kar Kraft in Brighton, MI to complete the heavy
modifications. This Boss 9 has been restored to the condition it
would have come out of the factory in '70 by the famous Kevin
Manley. The car's original colors have been retained: Grabber Blue
on the outside, and a beautiful White vinyl interior. Where Mach 1s
and Shelbys are typically adorned with striping, the Boss 429 has a
much more subtle exterior scheme. Mono-tone paint and simple "Boss
429" lettering on the fender make the car a bit of a sleeper. Take
a peek at the undercarriage and it is clear no expense was spared
when refurbishing the vehicle. The underside is smoothly painted
and shows zero evidence of road time. Every nut, bolt, and panel
has been professionally refinished, rebuilt, or replaced back to
the original specifications. Every paint marking and decal that Kar
Kraft put on the Boss 9 during the original build was put back in
place. Hop inside and the interior looks and feels like brand new.
The wood grain dashboard and large analogue clock certainly scream
1970, but the 4 speed shifter and full instrumentation scream race
car. The Boss 9 was the top of the line Mustang so of course it
came well equipped. A Boss 429 is on any Mustang collector's list.
This is a stunning concours example of the breed, and would be a
wonderful addition to any collection. To view the 1970 Boss 429 in
