Mustang Of The Day: 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

Despite the fact that the Boss 429 is extremely well-liked by collectors now, this wasn’t the case in 1969. Many Mustang enthusiasts had hoped that the 429 would be the muscle car that would trump all others at the time. Ford, on the other hand, never intended for the Boss 429 to be this; instead, they saw it as a test vehicle for their recently developed NASCAR engine. The fact that just 857 Boss 429s were sold in 1969 indicates that this was a point that was never fully understood by the Mustang fan base.

The Boss 429 was only manufactured for two years, but its impact endures today. One of Ford’s largest big-block engines ever used in a production car would be found in the legendary Mustang. When installed in the Ford Torino, this engine would go on to succeed in NASCAR competition.
