Stunning car. It fits right in with those high end sports cars around it. People didn't know what they were buying back in 69. What a steal at that price. I was not aware of the Mach 1 info though. Thanks for the video.
+Cobrafanatik22 Billy, ya hard to believe they are asking more for this than a Ford GT or Ferrari but it's true! Thanks for stopping by and hope you are back on your Mustang soon it would be nice to see that thing running by summer.
MustangConnection1 Started messing with it again this week. I dropped off the hood hinges and latch to be sand blasted yesterday. I posted a new video of my fender fitment issues but I'm going to get my hood on and then try again. Thanks Rich.
Rich does the positive battery cable run through the inside of the car to get to the trunk ? or under the car ? looks like it enters the car through the firewall
+huck01955 Joe, Great question, I am not 100% sure. I am guessing it runs with the rest of the wire loom to the back which is inside the car underneath the scuff plates and carpet over the wheel well into the truck.
Thanks Rich I wont to mount a battery in the trunk of my car but I dont see a safe place to run the cable under the car . I did one for a friend but was able to run through the frame connectors . I would do the same on mine but there sealed
I own a numbers matching 1969 fastback which I drive daily in summer.. it boggles my mind to think if my car came with that engine in it that it would go for north of 300k... it's pretty ridiculous.. to be honest.
+GunfightersINC Yes these specialty Mustangs bring crazy money that is for sure even with 90 % of the same DNA as other Mustangs from the same year. It's all about rarity and condition which sparks the demand.
Good luck replacing all kinds of O-rings because they are in the head . Ford engineers told us to use bathtub calking (Silicone) when we pulled the heads off . 1970 they put them in the block . That thing sounds like it lost it's prime when you started it the first few times ? I would like to look at the bearings and cam lobes before I buy a Thrashing Machine like that . It scares me !
Even if someone invented a time machine, went back and got this car today brand new it wouldn't cost this much! Ridiculously overpriced! $220,000 to $280,000 is the real range even at the auctions. If you're looking for power & performance, you could get a Jon Kaase BOSS 557 in Raven Black around $160,000. I know this deal that went down in 2012. I'm sure it didn't even take one forth of the asking price to restore this car. And it looks like the left hand door, next to the door handle has a gap, is not in line. As long as you have the money, go break some eggs and get milked! I'd settle for a 428 R code Drag pack that can beat the stock BOSS 429 any day, anywhere. This is a $450,000 highly detailed picture frame. So surely no one's going to enjoy riding it down the ROAD. Hence at the most a great museum piece! Cheers to the one who buys it!!! Nice detailed video. Thanks for this. Pete :")
Yes most of these at this level of restoration will not see any street time, just a fact of their rarity . Someone will eventually buy it, at $450k hard to say but it will sell. Thanks for checking it out and leaving a detailed comment, always appreciated.
My brother had one the same color in 1976. It was lacquer, so not that shiny. I hated the color. Same interior but a nascar plate as you opened the door. It was set up for a roll bar. I do remember walking for gas on the one road trip. It still had a tiny gas tank. I believe it was getting about 4mpg. I was the one who walked for gas in the Texas oil patch. Yep. As if a gallon were enough! But it was. It was terrifyingly fast. Replaced by a Porsche 930 (911) turbo. Equally terrifying and maybe faster. More nimble. Like my brother, I love German cars and muscle cars. 😍😍😍
love the car but 449k is way too much cash for a boss 9..not even a raven black 69 boss 9 went for that at a recent auction and that's a rare find alone...nice car but they just want way too much
+2012omar302 It is a big number but they are confident they will find a buyer. I have been at auction and see them hammer as high as 500k but that was 7-8 years ago.
+MustangConnection1 in my opinion I don't see how they will get that much for that boss 429. Mecum auction sold several boss 429s this year not one sold for the amount there asking even with fees that the auction house charges. there was a Raven black 69 boss 429 hammered at 200,000 and black is the rarest color you can get. but hey it's a really nice boss 429 thanks for putting up on TH-cam.
+ehrldawg It is a big number for sure, they seem to have the client base to get a deal done. They also have a couple of killer Mopars and some other Musclecar stuff along with all of the exotics. Def out of my price range too.
Only Person Who Will Go That High on That Color BOSS429 WILL PROBABLY BE A FOREIGN SALE,BEAUTIFUL RARE PAINT FOR THE BOSS,BUT STILL ONLY WORTH $325,00 IN THIS COUNTRY.WHAT DID IT SELL FOR,IF IT DID??
Until They Get A Proper Alignment on DRIVERS DOOR,Where It Isn't t Even Flush W/ Rear Quarter,It Won' t Sell for That To A Buyer That is Particular.& For That Kinda Money,Deserves REAR WINDOW SLATS,Whether It Came W/ Them or Not. BEAUTIFUL SHOWPIECE ,IF DRIVERS DOOR IS ALIGNED CORRECTLY.WHEN U MENTIONED EAST COAST REFURBISHER,WONDER IF MCA JUDGE THAT RESTORES THE BOSS 302' S AROUND MIDWEST MIGHT HAVE BEEN RESTORER.
Good Luck on Getting Almost Half A Million for This Beast!! Only Way It's Worth Anywhere Close to That Is If It's Super Low Mileage & No Mention Was Made of This.If It is ,,Would Be a " Survivor ".Drivers Door Isn't Even Flush W/ Rear Quarter,Unless Isn't Closed All the Way.Is A Rare Paint Color for Boss 429.Is A Beauty,But Even If I Had the Money to Buy One,About $285-325,00 is All I'D Give For It & I LOVE THE COLOR. Will Beat The Hell Out of Driver in City,But Once the MTR.Hits 37-3800 RPM,Ur GONE !!!
GTFO here 449k. the first one available to the public # 23 off the line all original unrestored in mint condition was only 260k at auction. Sad how greed has taken over.
It is the marketplace that determines what anything is worth. It is simply a matter of what someone is willing to spend. Asking and selling are two different things.
What a waste. I know these cars are Uber rare and sought after, but all that money and you can’t even do anything with it except hope the next will want to pay more for it or your garage doesn’t burn down. Nobody will ever really drive this thing. All this collector crap. When the world runs out of boss 429s and boss 302, and K codes, they’ll turn to numbers matching C code coupes with original documentation. LOL!
I hear what you are saying but these cars were never very street-able even when brand spanking new. I see comments like this all of the time, same for cars not restored and sitting in barns or fields etc. That being said, other than car shows, and I live in L.A. I never see any old cars being daily driven. So the notion that some how they are being wasted seems inaccurate. As with any item that becomes collectible beyond it's functionality, in this case an old car, it's about protecting the investment.
Yeah...your right. I said what I said as a car guy that would jump at something like this, but will never be able to even come close to knowing what it would be like to drive one of those. Guess I’m salty too at the fact that it seems everything is getting so over priced that cars that weren’t desirable at all 20 years ago are starting to become expensive. I’m just stuck in the past and at one point that was same case for these cars. Beautiful car though and thanks for the reply.
@@fireguy8466 I hear you all the way, I do think they are way overpriced too. Think about this car, you can buy a loaded '19 Turbo Porsche for that kinda dough that will put way more smiles on your face as you drive it.
My favorite year of all Mustangs and I just saw pictures of one in this color. That's bad ass.
Most beautiful car that came out of 69. Nothing is more BOSS THAN A BOSS 9.
Stunning car. It fits right in with those high end sports cars around it. People didn't know what they were buying back in 69. What a steal at that price. I was not aware of the Mach 1 info though. Thanks for the video.

Not Bad Price !!! Gotta Get Right Person !!, If No Reserve, High 2s, Maybe $$ 300,000 !!!! Gourgous Car !!!! Stay Strong....Peace
im in love with that car thats my favorite year
Thanks Rich. This was about as close as I will ever get to one of these beauties.
+The Shade Tree Fix-it Man Thanks for checking it out George, that makes you and me both!
Holy Moly, love it!
+Freddie Mac It is one fine machine!

I was on the phone calling the place then I hung up after I saw the price on the vid. Hope they don't have called ID.... Haha!
+Rudderify Joe, Now that's funny, if you omit a zero at 49k you may have just stayed on the line.
gotta love the boss 351 as well.
+soupercooper Yes all three the Boss 302, 351 and 429.....love 'em all!
Beautiful car
Hey it's still for sale!
I can dream, right?? :)
awesome thanks for posting!!
+スティーブ的視点 Steve's POV Thanks for having me by Steve, more to come from my day of filming and looking forward to going back to Fusion!
So fabulous !!!
Awesome... thanks for posting!
+Mr X Thanks for checking it out!
Beautiful car Rich...Z for zoooooom!
+Rusty “rustyglovebox” Glovebox Z is for zooom for sure and apparently 449K too haha
449k? you got change for a dollar? lol definitely the best example of an original recreation for sure!
+soupercooper A little rich for my blood too, but what a car!
Sharp ! love the color !
+james myers Yes this is one fine Boss 429
I own a numbers matching 1969 fastback which I drive daily in summer.. it boggles my mind to think if my car came with that engine in it that it would go for north of 300k... it's pretty ridiculous.. to be honest.
+GunfightersINC Yes these specialty Mustangs bring crazy money that is for sure even with 90 % of the same DNA as other Mustangs from the same year. It's all about rarity and condition which sparks the demand.
I would never bought a restored boss, always look for a survivor or untouched car. Then you know what you get
The same could be said for any survivor vs. restored car....unless the build is properly documented.
Gotta love that overspray,lol
Yep back to factory spec!
sweet ride I bit out of my price range lol
+The88katana600 Ya this is a big number for sure! Thanks for stopping by!

Nice car! $$$
Dream ride for any Mustanger for sure.
Wow!!!
+MarcusTheGreat IAmTheLastOne Thanks for checking it out!
Now correct me if I'm wrong here Rich...The 429 had no head gaskets..
+ZIGgassedUP I think you are correct Ziggy, they Hemi heads on these get an o-ring type set up

No problem man! I enjoy your informative videos!!! I wish you could drive them around and make the videos a bit more longer. Cheers mate!
Yes I wish I could drive them as well. Have you seen this one ? th-cam.com/video/OQQP_E8Mwfs/w-d-xo.html&lc=z12aj5dhglu3xppk422wejpa4kigyrjha04
Yeah, who wouldn't? One day you might man! Who knows!?! Yes I have seen that video. I just see them again when it's drooling time! :")

The drivers side lower door doesn't even align with the body, What a cob job!

+2012omar302 Yes it is top dollar for a Boss 429 but they have a pretty high end clientele so who knows.
@2012omar302
I agree a 100% with you. A way overpriced restored car.
Wow !!449,000.00 I love Mustangs,but that's too rich for my blood;evan if I could afford it!!
+ehrldawg It is a big number for sure, they seem to have the client base to get a deal done. They also have a couple of killer Mopars and some other Musclecar stuff along with all of the exotics. Def out of my price range too.
That thing needs to be run its been started and shut off to many time's. Sweet tho
+scottsinfl Great observation Scott, I agree the motor needs some run time and maybe a lifter adjustment.
Only Person Who Will Go That High on That Color BOSS429 WILL PROBABLY BE A FOREIGN SALE,BEAUTIFUL RARE PAINT FOR THE BOSS,BUT STILL ONLY WORTH $325,00 IN THIS COUNTRY.WHAT DID IT SELL FOR,IF IT DID??
They bought this at Barrett in Vegas I believe and probably paid in the low 300k rage for it. It is gonna be tough to get near a half a mil for it .
Until They Get A Proper Alignment on DRIVERS DOOR,Where It Isn't t Even Flush W/ Rear Quarter,It Won' t Sell for That To A Buyer That is Particular.& For That Kinda Money,Deserves REAR WINDOW SLATS,Whether It Came W/ Them or Not. BEAUTIFUL SHOWPIECE ,IF DRIVERS DOOR IS ALIGNED CORRECTLY.WHEN U MENTIONED EAST COAST REFURBISHER,WONDER IF MCA JUDGE THAT RESTORES THE BOSS 302' S AROUND MIDWEST MIGHT HAVE BEEN RESTORER.
BEAUTIFUL BOSS BUT WAY TO MUCH $$!! It's probably worth $300 TOPS!! Good luck getting that price.
The maroon goon
wow that engine sounds horrible. needs the rockers adjusted and a serious tune-up
Those things always make a racket, huge solid lifter cam and exhaust. It only has break in miles so yes the valves prop need an adjustment already.
Noice , Very Noice !!
GREAT STANG PRICE VERY HIGH, TO HIGH FOR MY POCKET
Looks like it just rolled off the dealer's lot.
+Buckswoodshop It really does, thanks as always for stopping by Matthew!

lifters tapping and rods knocking...
Where's the supercharger at? :/ I'd still buy it tho if I had the money
+Alvaro Jimenez 1/2 a million ........Rickie really hav some splainin to do to lucy . ;< )
+Alvaro Jimenez the 429 didn't have a supercharger. what are you talking about?
+John Lawry it would be better if it had one.
no it wouldn't it would ruin the value of the car

If some one spends 449k on this they should also give me a call. Got a downright gorgeous bridge and beach front property for sale.
No way. Wayyyyy to much. 250 grand tops.
its nice but thats to much for the car
They are asking a lot, but I think they did sell it.
449,000. Sounds like shit
Funny
How is that ? They sold it.
