Vehicle Description
This 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 fastback is one of 857 cars built.
It was created as a homologation special to qualify the new 429ci
"semi-HEMI" engine for NASCAR competition. The Boss 429 was
specially modified and hand-built on May 8, 1969, by Ford's outside
racing and special projects contractor, Kar Kraft of Brighton, MI,
and delivered to Don Shirk Ford upon completion. This 429 Boss,
powered by a matching-numbers 820-T 429ci engine, incorporates a
remote engine-oil cooler, heavy-duty Toploader close-ratio 4-speed
manual transmission, 3.91 Traction-Lok differential, power front
disc brakes, competition suspension with front and rear anti-roll
bars and staggered rear shocks, a trunk-mounted battery, chromed
15" Magnum 500 wheels and Goodyear Polyglas F60-15 tires. The
Deluxe D�cor interior further boasts the original black seats,
console, an 8,000-rpm tachometer, front spoiler and color-keyed
racing mirrors. It's a highly original car with a single
professional repaint in the original Wimbledon White, and KK No.
1785. This car maintains its original matching-numbers drivetrain
and many original parts and components. This 429 Boss has been a
consistent leading scorer in concours events, including three SAAC
awards, and is documented with a Deluxe Marti Report. It was
subject to a concours detailing with assistance from expert
concours judge, Ed Meyer, and has been inspected and verified by
well-known performance Ford and Mustang specialist, Jim Wicks.
Formerly part of the Robert Watson collection, this Boss 429 has
been kept in a museum-like setting by the current owner and is
roadworthy.
