1970 Ford Boss 429 For Sale - Rotisserie Restoration By Legendary
Motorcar LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Ford Boss
429 The Boss 429, sometimes referred to as the "Boss 9" by blue
oval enthusiasts, is arguably one of the rarest and most valued
muscle cars from the era. In total there were 859 original '69 Boss
429s then only 499 Boss 429's for the 1970 model year. The origin
of the Boss 429 was as a result of Ford's desire to compete NASCAR.
Ford was seeking to develop a Hemi engine that could take on the
Mopar Hemi boys - the 426 Hemi Charger Daytona and the Plymouth
Superbirds - the monsters for Ford to slay to achieve their desire
to rule the track. The Boss 429 engine featured aluminum cylinder
heads, which had a modified Hemi type combustion chamber which Ford
called "crescent". The Boss 429 engine used a single Holley four
barrel carburetor rated at 735 CFM mounted on an aluminum intake
manifold. All these cars had the Hurst Competition Shifter 4-Speed
Manual Transmissions and the Boss was rated very conservatively at
375 HP while actual output was believed to be well over 500
horsepower. Mustangs' were simply too small to accept the massive
Boss 429 engine so Ford hired Kar Kraft of Brighton, Michigan to
modify existing 428 Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet Mach 1 Mustangs.
Modifications included widening the shock towers and extending out
the inner fenders. The mounts for the front suspension were chopped
and displaced to create room for the block and exhaust manifolds.
The battery was repositioned to the trunk and a stiff 3/4" sway bar
was added to rear end to improve handling since the car was now
nose heavy. It was also equipped with a 3.91 ratio rear axle with a
"Traction-Lock" limited slip differential. In addition, a hole was
cut in the hood, and a manually controlled hood scoop was added.
Other features included a front spoiler and color keyed dual racing
mirrors. In short, all Boss Mustangs are simply big block power
with few options. These very special cars were given NASCAR
identification with a "KK" number that was placed on the driver's
side door. This Boss was built on December 9th, 1969 at Dearborn
and delivered to Fuller Ford Inc in Cincinnati, Ohio. Open the hood
with the fully functional air-gulping Hood Scoop, which were all
painted Matte Black regardless of the color of the car, to find the
Boss 429. The engine bay shows correctly and is fully detailed with
all the production chalk marks, tags and decals. The Boss 429
engine is connected to its RUG 4-Speed Close Ratio Manual
Transmission with the mandatory Hurst Competition Shifter. It also
came factory equipped with a Code "V "3.91 ratio rear axle with a
Traction-Lock limited slip differential. This Boss, representing
the rarest production year of the Boss 429 cars, has received a nut
and bolt rotisserie restoration from us here at Legendary Motorcar
and featured in an episode of our television show. Restoration
