Vehicle Description
1970 Ford Boss 429 For Sale - Only 13 Were Ever Built From The
Factory In The Color Configuration 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 in NASCAR. Ford was seeking to develop an
engine that could take on the Mopar Hemi powering the Charger
Daytona and the Plymouth Superbirds. 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. 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 November 4th, 1969, and delivered
new to B & R Wilson Inc. in Smithfield, North Carolina. This car is
exceptionally unique and extremely desirable, being one of only 13
to ever leave the factory painted in the desirable Calypso Coral
with a White Knitted Vinyl bucket seat interior, and only 5 known
to exist today. This has always been the hardest color combination
for collectors to find and the most desirable combination amongst
Boss 429 enthusiasts. Along with the incredible rarity, this
example was treated to a true no-expense-spared rotisserie
restoration completed by a marque specialist. The engine bay shows
correctly and is fully detailed with all the production chalk
marks, tags and decals. The numbers-matching Boss 429 engine is
connected to its numbers-matching RUG 4-Speed Close Ratio Manual
Transmission topped 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. The striking and
rare factory Calypso Coral paint on the exterior is absolute
perfection with excellent depth and beauty. It has been wet sanded
and polished to the highest level. These cars had just a very plain
external identification with only the White Boss 429 decals on the
front fenders behind the bright chrome Magnum 500 wheels mounted on
Goodyear Polyglas tires. The interior features the ultra-rare and
desirable factory-built White Knit Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats. The
rotisserie restoration extends throughout the entire car and
certainly includes the undercarriage, as it reflects the high level
of this extremely high-quality restoration and the extreme detail
taken to have this Boss present correctly everywhere. Marti Report
also confirms the other factory options which include: Drag Pack,
Competition Suspension, Convenience Group, Electric Clock, F60X15
Tires, Collapsible Spare Tire, Rim Blow-Deluxe Steering Wheel,
Console, Power Front Disc Brakes, Power Steering, AM Radio, Decor

full documentation, this ultimate Boss 429 is destined for the
collector who only wants the best. Even sitting still, this Calypso
Coral Boss looks like a serious weapon for either the street or
strip. Don't miss this opportunity to own one of the best Ford
muscle cars ever produced. A true icon. Additional Details: 1970
