In 1969, Ford presented one of the rarest and highly valued muscle cars to date to fulfill Ford‘s need to homologate the 429 semi-hemispherical engine for NASCAR racing, the Mustang Boss 429. It was produced until 1970, and 1359 cars left the production lines. One of them, a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 is up for auction.

Mustang Boss 429 is powered by a 7.0L 429ci V8 engine with a factory output of 375 hp (280 kW) and 450 lb-ft (610 Nm) of torque at 3400 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a Traction-Lok differential. It sits on 15″ Magnum 500-style wheels wrapped in 205/70 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires.

This car is finished in Candyapple Red, well maintained and in good condition. It is equipped with a front spoiler, a vented hood, dual side mirrors, a rear spoiler, Boss 429 badging, dual exhaust outlets, a Traction-Lok differential, revised control arms, a higher-rate front anti-roll bar than other Mustang variants, a rear anti-roll bar, a competition suspension with staggered rear shocks, and power-assisted brakes with discs up front and drums out back.

Inside, high-back bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl that also covers the door panels, rear bench, center console and dashboard, with color-keyed carpets, and simulated woodgrain appliqués on the dashboard. In front of the driver is a three-spoke wood-trimmed steering wheel behind which is a five-digit odometer showing 4,407 miles. Additional equipment includes the Interior Decor Group–Deluxe and Visibility Group packages, and it features a Philco AM radio, a dash-mounted rally clock, deluxe seat belts, and courtesy lights for the glovebox, ashtray, and trunk.

The car comes with the removed factory wheels, a window sticker, two build sheets, an owner’s manual, and a clean Missouri title.

The auction ends on October 7th and the highest bid at the time of writing is $400,000 USD.
