1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 For Sale - Numbers Matching Engine,
Concourse Nut & Bolt Restoration LMC is very proud too offer for
sale this 1969 Ford Boss 429 The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 is an
iconic American muscle car that exudes power and performance. It
was Ford's desire to win at NASCAR, and homologation rules allowed
the company to utilize its new Boss 429 motor in a production car.
Production of the Boss 429 began in 1968 at Kar Kraft's then-new
assembly facility in Brighton, Michigan; the cars were transported
to the facility directly from the Ford Rouge facility. Kar Kraft
was an exclusive contracted experimental vehicle facility that
functioned as Vehicle Engineering for Ford Special Vehicles. Kar
Kraft had previously developed the first GT40 MKIIs and designed
and built the GT40 MKIVs, both of which won the Le Mans 24-Hour
Race in France in 1966 and 1967. A new, reconstructed front apron
assembly accepted the large Boss 429 engine, initially installed by
technicians at the Dearborn Assembly Plant vehicle assembly line;
this process compensated for the lost structural integrity that
came with the added weight of the Boss 429 engine. A pair of
reworked front fenders was also installed at the Dearborn plant.
The potent Boss 429 CI V-8 engine was extremely underrated at the
advertised 375 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque. At the time, industry
insiders claimed the Boss 429 engine produced 600 or more
horsepower, though nothing was ever officially released in that era
to support the claim. With only a 2-year production run in '69 and
1970, they are among the rarest, most sought after Mustangs on the
planet. This incredible Royal Maroon Boss 429 was built on May
28,1969, and sold new on August 6, 1969, through Shiretown Motors
Inc. The original purchaser nicely equipped his new Boss with 3.91
ratio traction lok rear axle, competition suspension, AM radio,
console, power front disc brakes, deluxe belts, power steering,
competition suspension, functional front air spoiler, color-keyed
mirrors and trunk-mounted battery. Recently, this example was the
subject of a complete nut-and-bolt, cost-is-no-object restoration
to a true concours level with only test miles since completion. The
quality of restoration work is absolutely incredible. Under close
inspection, one can see that not only the body, paint and interior
are done to perfection but also the engine bay, trunk and
undercarriage are true works of art as well. Adding too its
provenance, this example retains its numbers matching BOSS 429ci
engine and four speed transmission. Documenting the hard to
duplicate and exceptional example is a Marti report, owner's
manuals and more. A stunning example of a very desirable car with
proven provenance and a restoration done to this level would be
very difficult to find, and for the astute collector, this is the
ultimate combination. Additional Details: 1969 FORD MUSTANG BOSS
