Headin' Back From Somewhere
The frame-off restoration of this Mustang was completed a few years ago in 2017. Everything right down to the shimmering “Acapulco Blue” paint job that’s bound to capture interest and imagination no matter where you drive it. Newly installed mirrors, rear spoiler, and bumpers add to the vehicle’s race-inspired look, to say nothing about the marvelous hood scoop.

Every Light is Burnin'
Painstaking attention was given to the restoration of this Boss 429’s interior. The car’s new digital gauges light your logistics in a cool blue light and are embedded in the car’s original dash which shows no signs of wear. The original teak steering wheel —designed in a slight semi-circle shape in the original design —is still intact. Fresh upholstery adorns the front and rear seats, which are separated by a removable center console.

Thunder Rolls
The car’s original Hurst shifter, renowned for smooth, fast shifting, is still in place and mated to a C6 automatic transmission along with a 9-inch rear end with Currie 9 Plus axles. Gone is the vermillion interior color scheme, replaced with stainless steel accents that really pop off the black leather interior of the seating compartment.

Lightning Strikes
While this 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 looks great inside and out, the true thrill comes when you open the hood. The fully-restored Ford 429 V8 big block engine is capable of 375-horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque —the most powerful factory engine ever installed in a first-generation Mustang.

Racing Toward the Sun
Ford’s Boss 429 engine was featured in both a Ford Torino and a Mercury Cyclone to compete in NASCAR racing in the 1970 series. The engine helped lead the two cars to a record 10 victories in 11 appearances. It also dominated short tracks, winning seven out of nine races. It’s proof that this artful restoration isn’t just a feast for the eyes, but a thrill to drive, be it on the track or cruising down the strip as a daily driver.
