859 Boss 429s were made in 1969, and this one was only driven 4435k miles since new... what a odd way to appreciate such an iconic muscle car - not drive it, and use it for an investment instead.

this unrestored example of awesome, has it's numbers matching Boss 429 S-Code, 4spd, and 3.91 gears. It's original Candy Apple Red and factory Magnum 500s with the original Goodyear Polyglas.

Boss 429 has been sitting for 30 years because the original engine was pulled for a rebuild in the late 1980s, but the shop doing the work went out of business, and the engine disappeared (suspiciously)

 There isn’t a transmission or a correct rear end, either, and the trunk has been replaced with an incorrect one.

an original owner 65 Mustang with only 44652 miles, has been sitting in a garage for 38 years with both a Boss 429 and a Boss 302 engine because of marriages and divorces. The guy died without ever getting to work on this car

a woman called up Hot Rod magazine saying she had a 1965 Ford Mustang in her garage that had been stored there since 1982.

 Her late husband bought the 1965 Mustang new and had hoped that one day he could hop it up like the hot rod Mustangs he read about in the car magazines. It was an ongoing project that got stalled by a previous divorce and then a new life with a new wife raising their musically talented son.

 She went on to say he had a Boss 429 engine and a Boss 302 engine along with some other parts stored in the garage with the Mustang.

When they built the 1969 Boss 429, they didn't use the Boss 302 body. Isn't that an odd decision?

They used the Mach 1/Sports Roof body instead. You can tell by the rear fender vent. And no hood pins

2 weeks after purchasing his 1969 Boss 429, Bill parked it, over an engine warranty issue. When he sold it in 2008, it still only had 775 miles on it.

here is a good example of how to take a good photo that represents the cars best features by using the camera lens to manipulate the image, and the setting the car is in to prevent any distractions from causing your eye to wander from the car. I bet you like one of these photos more than the other.

How had this car come to exist 40 years later without seeing 1,000 miles? After buying and driving the Boss 429 for less than two weeks, the exotic engine seized up. Bill wanted a replacement, he demanded (and lawyered up) for a S series Nascar derived Boss 429, not the lame T series the factory switched to in order to save money.

But by that point, the factory was only installing the T-series and not the S-series as used in Bill's Mustang.

 Bill insisted on getting an S-series replacement. The disagreement eventually ended up with lawsuits and lawyers before it was settled in Bill's favor.

In the meantime, Bill had ordered a '71 429 SJC Mustang hardtop. With the Boss in storage, he simply tucked the replacement engine away with the stored car and kept racing the newer Mustang. While he never thought about it as a collectible, he told Ed he knew the car was special since the factory had discontinued production. It became simply out-of-sight, out-of-mind. His wife never even had a ride in it, until it was brought back to life and drove into the 2008 Forge Musclecar Classic car show at Marriott MeadowView Resort's convention center

Owning a speedshop and gas station, he was busy enjoying the life, and sorta forgot to do anything with the Boss 429.

But as soon as it saw light, and collectors lost their mind, and a blank check was written, it changed hands for only the second time. I believe this will show up at auction after auction the rest of our lives.

The hardcore "S-Code" was installed in early cars and filled with race-duty parts. But the S-Code had warranty problems, because of an incorrect assembly process. So the "T-Code" with lighter-duty parts was used in some cars. The later "A-Code" version of the 429, equipped with smog equipment and a new valvetrain, appeared toward the end of production.

some one has and incredible collection of Boss 429s

Found on Ebay

Fast Eddie, and his half of all the factory stock Boss 429 Cougars ever made (Kar Kraft) as Dyno Don got the other one.

he ran a 10.32 in 1970 with it, but it tore itself apart from the violent launches as it wasn't braced well enough to last long, and it wasn't competitive against the smaller Comets and Mavericks that followed

Ford did commission two 1969 Mercury Cougars with the BOSS 429 engine, and sold both of them for $1 a piece to “Dyno Don” Nicholson and “Fast Eddie” Schartman. Designated by Mercury as “clinic cars,” the two BOSS 429 Cougars toured through dealerships teaching Ford gearheads all about horsepower.

Dyno Don immediately ditched the 429 engine, replacing it with the even rarer 427 Ford SOHC “Cammer” engine and he painted his car red. Fast Eddie kept the 429 engine and the white hue, but converted his Cougar over to a 1970 hood and front clip. Both of these cars had fiberglass front panels, which technically disqualified them from running in Super Stock.

However, the cars were reportedly so slow that nobody really seemed bothered, and they were hardly raced anyway. Both Cougars were supposed to be returned to Ford, and in all likelihood were destined for the crusher. Curiously, neither car was returned to Ford, and the Cougars disappeared.

Fast Eddie’s car was sold in 1971 to Lou Cerra, who replaced the engine and raced it through 1973. It was then sold to Steve Comstock, who dropped a 454ci Holmann & Moody BOSS engine into it. It was raced for a few years before the body was twisted something fierce. These Cougars, despite being built for racing, lacked many important features like sub-frame connectors or a real roll cage (a bolt-in kit was used instead). It sat around unloved for awhile before being bought by Douglas Herzog, a racing engine builder and 429 aficionado.

Wow, Boss 429 was bought in 1973, stored in 1976 and stayed there until 2015, now she's getting restored. Only 28,000 miles, and it still has the original tuned tube mufflers

Original owner BOSS 429 Mustang, not concours, but who enjoys their concours restored Mustang as much as this?

Those semi-crude fender flares in the rear cover 15-inch-wide Hoosier tires, which Keith said, “some kid once wanted to know if I ‘made those tires.’” He claims the wide rubber is necessary to control the estimated 500-plus horsepower from the 429, which has a custom cam of unrevealed specs. When we walked around back we saw what he meant by his “Quiet/Loud Exhaust”—there are 4 pipes, two with cutouts controlled by what looks like pneumatic cylinders. Oh yeah, there’s a trailer hitch too!

Keith said, “It’s never been restored, it’s driven as much as possible, and all of the work on it is done by myself. It’s a rude, crude, obnoxious attention hog!” And it’s perfect just the way it is, Keith.

unrestored original 1970 Boss 429 bought at an estate sale, only 17,000 miles

Bruce Schreiner's unrestored original 1970 Boss 429 was recently acquired from an estate sale. The car had been in storage for more than 41 years, and Bruce had been after it for the past 15 years. Kevin Marti has confirmed that this car is the one and only Boss 429 that came from the factory with rear spoiler and sport slats. The car sports original paint, interior, and front tires.

Completely unmolested, this Boss 429 is all original straight down to the Goodyear rubber. All of the documentation, elite Marti Report, and Ford Motor Company stickers were included and still intact as it slept for four decades in an old, windowless garage collecting dirt and dust in every crease and crevice.
