This 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 was built on March 19, 1969, the car is finished in Wimbledon White over black vinyl and powered by a 429ci Boss V8 paired with a four-speed close-ratio manual transmission.
Kar Kraft of Dearborn, Michigan was commissioned by Ford to modify Cobra Jet Mustangs with a larger 429ci V8 featuring “crescent” shaped combustion chambers.
Aluminum dry-deck cylinder heads are fitted along with an aluminum intake manifold and a four-barrel Holley 735-cfm carburetor.
The engine came from the factory with a forged steel crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and solid lifters.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed close-ratio manual transmission and a 3.91 Traction-Lok nine-inch rear axle.
The engine stamp shows number 172986, which matches the last six digits of the vehicle’s VIN.
The SportsRoof body was refinished in the factory Wimbledon White (M) in 2019.

A space-saver spare wheel, tire, and jack are mounted in the trunk.
