A True Boss
Can we all just take a second to appreciate this gorgeous 1970 Mustang Boss 429? Kar Kraft No. 2403, one of just 500 produced. This highly original example in pristine condition shows off how much of a true badass this Boss Mustang has always been.
429
The Boss was Ford's answer to Chrysler's 426 Hemi. Ford began working with Kar Kraft which became the company's in house R&D shop (creator of the GT40) which helped develop and install the 429 engine into the soul of this special edition Mustang. This example uses a restored and matching 429 CI V8. The 7.0-liter behemoth is capable of exceeding its factor 375hp rating in full race tune.

An Iconic Relic
This Boss 429 was estimated to list at auction between $245,000-$265,000. Aside from the need for minor refreshed mechanical work that included installing a period-correct carburetor and a reproduction export brace, this Mustang is about as close to original as you can get for being almost 50 years old. This example is offered with a Marti report. Whoever ends up with this Boss 9 will be one lucky SOB.
