Ford should've put an 850 cfm carb on these from the factory. Never understood why Ford stuck a little 735 cfm carb on both the BOSS 429 and 428 CJ/SCJ engines. Swap out the 735 for an 850 cfm carb and lose the factory smog equipment and restrictive exhaust system for headers and dual Flowmaster Super 40s and unleash the monster that is the Ford BOSS 429
Iagree...the carb thing is strange.....anyways ...what I have always thought to be strange was that Ford only offered the Boss429 in the Mustang for homologation purposes ....why they never offered the engine in the Torino /Cyclone , the car that was actually raced in NASCAR, has always seemed odd. It would have been such a great package from the factory.
This vid was awesome! I was an army brat back in the early 70s and lived in Germany the G.I.s would sell their vehicles on short notice when they would be called back to the world as we would say. I think the guys did a great job bringing this car back to life! They did everything right, you cannot hurt early American engines ! They had it humming! The USA sticker on the back of the car was mandatory for service men . I have a 73 duster that my dad bought new while stationed in Nurmburg . It was shipped to a port then picked up by my dad , after 3 years it was shipped back to New Jersey . After getting off our plane we picked it up and drove it to Treasure Island in California where we were re-stationed. It needs some restoration and a motor. Hopefully I can get it running. I still have the green USA license that were used on the car in Germany.
You dont need to change the damn oil to just see if it will start the oil was in it when they parked it was oiling the engine then it will still work now. Check and make sure has oil yes but for a quick start not necessary.
Having read some of the start up comments, I have this to say. I had a 350 Chevy rebuilt for my 57 Chevy.. Decided on a big block and put the 350 in storage, everything was well lubed when built. Engine sat for 8 yrs. Completely sealed and dry. Gave it to my son for a land cruiser project. Took it out of storage put it in his land cruiser engine fired right up ran great....for about 2,000 miles, spun a rod bearing... I would have most definitely taken that 429 apart, inspected everything, if it all checked out, lubed it up with lithium and put it back together and ran the shit out of it. Amazing find...
Hi, I rebuilt an engine that had been sitting about 10 years and I was amazed to find that the bearing shells, mains and big ends looked like they had been attacked by wood worm.. full of crazy tunnels from one side to the other. Read later that old oil can dissolve bearing material.. yeah.
I think the music was a nice background touch and I love that the owners who bought it know enough about cars to take a barn find and fix it to be in a working operable condition with a great engine and a mean look
There was a time when that would be worth just $1000. I had one that looked just like that, but in better condition, and a small block 4 speed. And I sold it for $5000 in 2002.
Based on USA sticker someone from the US (probably military) more than likely brought that Boss over to Germany got PCS orders and sold it to another serviceman and somehow was left behind after being sold multiple times.
@@misters2837 why can't you upload any pictures here? in europe there were nationalities stickers at the time. D for germany, i for italy, f for france, gb for great britain, etc. this served to better identify the country of origin. therefore the license plates could then be better interpreted.
@@grdevisser3192 it shouldn't be removed. it is of historical importance. it shows how long the vehicle has been here. similar to the sticker from the American AAA !!
Well done gentleman...well done....we need more footage of the restoration please.You have one hell of a rare car those body lines were straight it is just begging for some tlc.
Who on earth would abandon a car like that and why the hell has nobody found in until now? Greatest car ever built in my opinion and rare as hell nowadays.
I got a comment. I own a 70 Boss 429. I want to put an 850-1000 cfm Holley double pumper carburetor on it and build a decent exhaust. But the FORD community chastises me for even wanting a fast 429. Stock 427 Corvettes or Camaros will beat it at any friday night drag race. Boss guys are nuts on toast to keep their cars factory choked to Pinto horse power ratings. You can make 600hp with bolt on parts. Shelve the precious SMOG crap and lets drive em a bit instead of having to bow our heads every time a Corvette shows up!
Boss 429 was a NASCAR design tuned for the street. If memory serves me, the camshaft and carburetor were pretty wimpy. All else was up to racing specs. Those heads were starving for fuel!
It was the old guy who died in '77 who grew up in the 50's, listening to South Pacific. That's only a couple of decades for him. I've had my '69 Mustang for about 30 years and I'm still listening to the music from the 50's...but not South Pacific. Nevertheless, my kids don't care for my music.
Idky (other than I'm pretty "quirky" to put it nicely) but I'm diggin' the song?!?! It's horrific wonderful, I can imagine singing this tune to 1 of "My Ol' Ladies" ('81 Malibu & '87 Monte Carlo Aerocoupe with T-Tops)!!!! They know how I like it like THAT
i wasnt paying attention to part of the video up until the song started playing and snapped bme back to the video. i love a warriors call by volbeat. i love volbeat
Sure, just change the fluids and plugs and start it right up. Ignore the fact that after sitting up for decades the cylinder walls will be pitted with rust from condensation, and sometimes even the crankshaft. It may run, but with half the power, and it is destroying itself in the process. Just because it turns, doesn't mean that it should be cranked.
The music makes me as happy as a little girl. Now we will dance! Take this out on the Ring for a few laps for God's sake, please. Good music BTW. Volbeat is awesome.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch meine Herren. Schönes Auto. Vergiss die Kommentare von Puristen. Du hast das Richtige getan. Ja, ich benutze einen Übersetzer. Ich hoffe, Sie werden das Auto behalten, wie es in diesem Video ist. Vielen Dank.
How did they get all those metric tools to fit that car? LOL! Great car. Wish I could have heard you guys working instead of muting all the (mostly) music.
Rich Garrett performance wise in street trim its a turd 15 second 1/4 mile times just built 2 years many were rapped around trees in crashes making them rare.....
Exactly. I think it was homologation effort and if you wanted performance you bought a 302 powered car. I knew of one which new and and a mate has restored one but gone a bit mental on the engine mods ,upgrades to suspension etc to make it live up to the promise.
Where do you people get this from? A Boss 429 would run all over the 302 Boss and it's pipsqueak motor. You can go look at the old magazine tests where they ran 13's to low low 14 second quarter miles if you just type it in. I bet there are 15 different tests out there lol, were they all lying? High Performance Cars, 9/69 issue ran 13.60@106 and Super Street Cars ran a 13.64 @105 with the 70' model? Someone ran 13.30's if I remember right.
I was around,Driving,when these cars were new. A BB Mustang is a slow evil handling bitch. if you wanted speed and great handling you went with the 302 powered Cars. The BB's were simply homologation specials for Nascar and drag racing. You didn't get a Talladega winning car just because it was 390,427 or 428, You had to "build' the engine yourself to get a race winning car. And Yes, Car and Driver, Hot Rod, Car Craft etc were all under the marketing thumb of the big three and even Brock Yates himself said on occasion that they "tuned" the cars to achieve results in testing etc.
Old Fords never die first on race day fast on race day and last but not least ferocious on race day no damn two bitten junk Chevrolet will save the Dodge guys for another day
Great choice in music.... Damn if I found that rare car I would of TOTALLY RE BUILT EVERYTHING FIRE WALL FORWARD...TOO DAMN RARE..!!...is it a T , C, or A code...?
you are not wrong. Despite the big engine,these were not fast cars. Te big engine was meant for guys to go drag racing on the weekends and provide publicity for Ford. But Mopar won ...
YES!!! Thankyou, I don't know why these people think other people want to hear second rate music, just tell us the backround! You can't afford the publishing for good music anyway!

Good Job! Don't bother with the big heads from US. First they should bring home all the military vehicles around the world and that will take an eternity.

Nice to see someone properly start a old car that has been sitting for a long time.
Where can I find all these barns that have amazing classics in them? Cause all the barns near me have rusted out farm equipment lol
Unbelievable that it still runs. Surprised that nothing internally was rusted or the head gaskets were not rotted. Great find. Amazing.

Thank you guys for saving a muscle car that was going to waste. Would love too see the finished car...
Enjoyed seeing some proper prep of a car that hasn’t been started in awhile.
OMG that music was annoying, and WAY TOO LOUD !!
Thought the music was good. Can’t please everybody Hope the car is coming back to the us were it belongs👍
Best mustang combo ever built
Nah, 428 Cobra Jet or Super Cobra Jet, 4 speed, 4.30 gears with a Detroit Locker. Boss 429 needed a lot more work to get it to run proper.
Could have done without the music and rather heard the engine. Great score though.
Wow. What an amazing video. Perfect music. Great story.
Well done gentleman...well done....we need more footage of the restoration please.You have one hell of a rare car those body lines were straight it is just begging for some tlc.
god thats a beautiful car with a timeless engine
Well done. Congratulations on your rescue.
i would dance too, if i found a 69 boss 429 mustang in a garage!
Damn its cool to see others appreciate old school muscle cars
Who on earth would abandon a car like that and why the hell has nobody found in until now? Greatest car ever built in my opinion and rare as hell nowadays.
Terrific show boys! We old Yanks need no narrative to follow one of the best car stories I've seen on "the tube."

The extra fog lights actually look good on it.
Those extra lights are horrible on that car
Brilliant job of producing and editing the video. Could be a training video for resuscitating a long sitting car. Really enjoyed it.

Great vid guys and awesome tunes
What a beautiful white mustang. Would keep it just like it is.
Sure, just change the fluids and plugs and start it right up. Ignore the fact that after sitting up for decades the cylinder walls will be pitted with rust from condensation, and sometimes even the crankshaft. It may run, but with half the power, and it is destroying itself in the process. Just because it turns, doesn't mean that it should be cranked.
I wonder if any of those guys know just how much that is worth today.. wow
I'm sure that they know exactly what it's worth.
Lucky find! Tell us your story of how you found it? A lot of work left to do as well. Good luck! Well made interesting video!
Pete :")
That's my Mustang. I'll have to go get my Stang back.
The music is has got it right. What a cool story.
Amazing car!!!
Gorgeous automobile!
How many more treasures like this await to be discovered in German barns?
The music makes me as happy as a little girl. Now we will dance!
Take this out on the Ring for a few laps for God's sake, please. Good music BTW.
Volbeat is awesome.
Great video.
Incredible find.
WOW.
Very cool!

Good Video - Could really do without the obnoxious music.
Can’t take the music, have to leave
Don't paint it ! Keep that orig look and enjoy it the it is !
Jack Lalonde I agree!!
yes, that way you don't fret to much about driving the piss out of it.
A million dollar car and you wouldn't paint it ?
Nope
You jack asses don't own one, You would never leave it rusty and looking like crap
That's badass.
Think they look awesome in White.
So Boss 429 only made 2 Years 69'-70'?
Johnny Yum was called Whimbeldon White,yes 69/70 only.
Can't listen to the engine because of the music
Wunderbar!
I think you did not removed the bolt where you drain the oil
Love that car
a million dollar find !
Good job !!! Let the ponies live !!
Turned the music off . Enjoyed the rest .
Unbelieveable!!! A ford that actually starts!
.Good work guys! That's the way I'd a done it. Buff it,wax it, drive hell out of it!
Electric drill used to pump gas?
no, 40 year old gas tastes delicious
So awesome
Yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about!
I like the USA bumper sticker.
And the flag on the rear 1/4 window.
Lots of jerks commenting this great artistic vid...........
Awesome

Will Butter then return all special DTM imports back to Germany =)
Hmm, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Opel, Audi, VW, Smart car, etc.
Hope US military returns to where it belongs you know where from.
Welp, we all know who won the war...

A quick amendment to my previous comment. The Volbeat music is good, however, this video should be about the car!
Whats better than 4 round headlights? 6.....

Did it make its way back to the US?
Nope. They sold it.
Ahh die guten alten Deutacheb
There was a misprint it was supposed to say eight point 6 1/4 mile
Taken to Germany by a US forces person ?Fun Fun On der autobahn back then too...
Like most American cars it will blow up on the autobahn trying to keep up with a little 2 ltr

Mercmad put a 300 or lower number rear in it,you'll top over 200 mph easy,and they ran flat out for 500 miles & lasted.
Amazing find for you ! Greetings from Canada ! dont listen to these people... the music is fine, until the 429 band starts anyways !
How about talking about what your doing and the history of the car being in germany instead of that horrible music? Just saying

Adjust a carb not the timing she'll smooth right out
Anybody can't just do this. They made it look easy. You have to have a clue espescially the way they swapped out the caburator.
Oldschoolhiphop - if you know your way around an engine it isn't hard. It's common sense.
Oldschoolhiphop maybe they didn't swap it out but rebuilt it,or gave it a good cleaning. After setting for so many years,gaskets leak bad on Holleys.
Can't stand the music, cool car though
Good Job! Don't bother with the big heads from US. First they should bring home all the military vehicles around the world and that will take an eternity.
i thought all german mustangs were called T5 fords .. that would be a rare one .. a T5 BOSS 429
It was probably brought over from America by a US serviceman
It was probably left behind by a US soldier.
Great car!! But really what’s with the music?!?! Come on people just play the video with out the music!!
anyone else have to mute it to watch it?
