This car would be at the top of my list.

One of the very few cars (IMO) that rivals the tough look of a 70-73 Trans Am, and it had one of the nastiest engines to ever get stuffed between a pair of American-made fenders...

Only 8,064 original miles on this beast.

American Musclecar had a shootout including the boss 429 and it pretty much wiped up. One of my fav's as well. http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKUFV8vLdPw

[The Boss]

There was a white one around here for years, local plumber owned it - had less miles than that one & boy did it sound great!

[Txbobcat]

I have been tempted buying one myself

[Old Blue 66]

Ive never driven one but I will agree, this Mustang is a great looking car.

Fellow over in McDonald's Chapel has one of the creamy white one's. Arrives on a trailer...........

I’ve always loved the Boss '9's although today they usually are seen as 1:1 scale static models at shows and auctions.

They’re not seen being driven due to high $ value & partially bc of the reported notoriously poor running street Semi-Hemi engine.

Back in the day there was a '69 Candy Red one owned by the local gear head who was an avid FORD drag racer who also frequented Lebanon Valley. 1st thing he did was install Headers and Super tune to wake up that beast!
IIRC: He died in an car accident where he wrapped his TORINO Cobra around a tree and the MINT Boss sat (beside the camping trailer he lived in @ his mothers house) for over a year before it was sold. All of us local car guys would look at it every time we passed by that house wishing and hoping we could own it.

Boss ‘9’s - Love 'em!!

[marxjunk]

over rated ...just like the Hemi...

[GT182]

I'd have, if I could afford either one. A 68 Shelby GT350 convertable 302 4 speed in red. Or a BRG 66 E-Type Jag.... coupe or convertable.

I agree and it would have to be Black , no other color compares .

[Icefan71]

67-68 and 69-70 Mustangs are what started my love for muscle cars way back when I was a kid. The Boss 429 is the meanest looking IMO.

Would make room here for any color.

back in early 70's my friend's cousin used to come over from new jersey every summer so he would stay out of trouble. he bought a 429 MACH I. he would take us all sumer to a future Industrial plant cul de sac and burn out and go through the gears. i did it with him many times. we lived in the country well one day butch was burnin out and blew a tire fliped the car and killed a 16 year old guy he was showin off too. butchie lived with only a scratch totaled the car. could of been any of us in the gang but that day he took a guy from town that was not in our gang. he never got into any trouble for it either. that car sure could haul a$$.

A friend of one of my co-workers bought a yellow Boss 429 Mustang in the mid 80's for $3500.

Ford understood marketing better then any other car manufacture by far. The corporate stupidity of GM limited its divisions to actually produce what should of been for Pontiac. I firmly believe that if GM marketing actually understood their market instead of being selfish with favoritism to Chevrolet, you would of had something like my car on the dealership show room floor.

[Norwood]

If your gonna "cheat" that's pretty close to Kate Upton.....

[fastgto]

I like`em alot ...

[wbulick76]

Back when I was running the classic car dealership, I have driven both a Boss 429 and 302. Still makes me grin...

Um, I disagree. What was Ford's entry to compete with the GTO? They didn't have one, but they had plenty of Galaxies with 427s. Alas, the 427 numbered around 300, versus a couple thousand the previous year. The Fairlane GT/GTA came out the next year, but it was a stone, and only about 57 427 Fairlanes were built. An additional 250 or so were built in '67, while the 390 GT continued to be creamed by just about every other muscle car. It took a car magazine article on Tasca Ford's 428 Mustang for Ford to realize they had the parts to build a giant killer, and the 428 CJ was a great addition to the Fairlane/Torino mid-year, but they only made 660 GT fastbacks (and even less coupes and convertibles). That's still pretty rare, but Ford cleaned house in the Winternationals with the Mustang. A lot more CJ Torinos were built in 1969 thanks to the Cobra, but when did the other brands have their $#!+ together? Pontiac in '64, Olds and Buick in '65, Chevy in '66, Mopar in '67 . . . for a major manufacturer, Ford really had no clue.

Then they had the Boss 429, which was under-carbed and -cammed. That wouldn't be the first motor that required modifications from the owner, but it was such a let-down to the folks on the street that its poor reputation still exists.

Nope, Ford had no clue what was going on in the street. Their marketing department was good for international racing but not for the cars on the street.

I much prefer the 1970s and I think this is my favorite combo:



However, the rarest combo is this blue:
