I'm a Chevy guy through and through, but I have to say that this is the best looking and baddest Mustang that came out of the Ford plant. Ford had some very good looking Mustangs in 69 and 70 in my opinion and this one is an perfect example of what happens when the engineers and designers get it right. One of the best looking cars produced during the Muscle car era.
To me, the best looking Mustang ever !!!
twstrchasr Agreed. The 1969 is my favorite year of Mustang in all of the sub models.
Agreed, along with 2013-2014 mustang
Sexiest of all cars ever. Period.
1967 fastback is the most sexiest car tbh 69mustang is sexy but the rear end looks abit awkward
I agree.
A rare MCotW error; the bottom end of a Boss 429 engine is not an "FE", like the 427, 428 and a few smaller V8s. It is based upon the later "385" block used in the 429s and 460s. Small issue. Love you guys and definitely love this car!
+Kurt Nyffeler Thanks Kurt, we apologize for the slip of the tongue and added a note to the video for the error. Thanks again for the kind words!
Mcot w..?? Huh..? Sorry i am not extreamly up on my acronyms i kno fomoco stands for ford murcury corp.
MCOTW = Muscle Car Of The Week, Ryan.
+Ryan Beers It's Ford Motor Company
I can't believe he screwed that up !
Absolutely beautiful- probably my ultimate muscle car.
The greatest muscle car of all time!!!
tom holstein was there much difference between the 69 and the 70? I heard the only difference is the hood scoop colours......That can't be right....i mean hood scoop colour choices may be right but there has to be more differences than just that. Do u know?
Michael McHugh
What about the hood pins and lanyards? Were they not standard on the Boss 9's? I know some of the Boss 302's had them but there are many Boss pictures on internet showing them without hood pins. Were they an ordering option? I remember (I'm 64) when they first showed up on Mustangs there was concern about lanyard cables scratching the paint but Ford had covered the lanyards in plastic sheathing. Side note: I saw a few Boss 302's and later some Boss 351's driving around while I was of high school age, but I only ever saw one Boss 429. I was 10th grade, walking home from high school through my neighborhood when a blue Mustang fastback came slowly rumbling down the street. When it got even with me I saw the "Boss 429" callout on the side. I was like "My God, where did that come from?" I thought I was "seeing things" because until that moment I did not realize that it even existed. I only knew about muscle cars and the Boss 302 from reading Car & Driver (in particular, C&D June 1969 edition) and talking with guys at school. And never once did I ever see that same Boss 429 again. My memory of seeing it that day is like it was some ghostly bad-ass vision.
tom holstein yep
I tend to agree !!
@@quentin3330 cant believe i asked this 3 years ago. Lol. Just noticed it was my old account. Anyhoo the 69 had 4 headlights. I should have known that the 70 only had 2.
My dream car? That one! Boss 429! Maybe 66-67 GT 350 or 500!😄🔧
Thanks for showing that beautiful Stang'. I had a 71' Mach 351 cleveland 4 speed 4bbl .
Beautiful car. First car my brother bought after surviving Vietnam as a Marine.
69 Mustang and 70 Cuda, 2 of the coolest looking cars ever built IMO.
As a kid, the Mustang was the car that always made me stop and watch it go by. There were tons of awesome Muscle cars during the late 60's and early 70's, but it was always the Mustang that held my attention.
That was me as well. A car that always had the right looks to it when coming down the street that got you day dreaming.
Great vid! My dream car is the '68 Torino GT 390. Had one and it was an animal! Thank you, V8TV!! Paulie
A 67 Fairlane 500 GT S code 390 candy apple red beast. I pray every night that someday I will have my dream car.
This is my childhood dream car!!!
My Aunt owns this car fully matching numbers. It almost wins every car show she takes it to . Same color also
I have a few favorite cars. My #1 favorite is well you are standing next to it in this video. My second favorite is the 1970 Buick GSX.
The '70 GSX Stage 1 would out run the Boss '9 in the quarter mile. Both are awesome cars. I'm with you, the Mustang would be my #1 also.
@@stevewallace326 good running boss leave anything behind destroyed the 426 hemi in nascar
69 Mercury cyclone cj 429 4 speed, my favorite! Even the 390s were really fast
Car exclusive.🧞♂️👍
May be the most valuable American muscle car ever
What a hot mustang my favorite year beautiful color very impressive! Super stang !🙂❤️✌🏻⭐️🤘Bw🦋
*Nice car, but FORD caved to the regulations and that's unfortunate...even so, it's good to know they can be outfitted with what should have been apart of the BOSS 429 orginally! ;-)*
In my most humble of opinions I totally agree this could be of the baddest muscle cars ever . just a little tweaking this car would eat any of its competition . Best car ever try to buy one !
I love MCOTW, Kevin, but the Boss 9 was not built on an FE Series block. It was built on the 385 series 429/460 block. Keep up the great work!
I'm not a really Ford fan, but this Mustang is awesome.
Super georgeous car. 69 and 70 Boss are my favourite Mustangs. I prefer the 69 slightly more than the 70 simply due to the 4 headlights. But love em both.
Hey Kevin, I know it’s 4 years late, but how about a deeper dive into the Boss 429? The 69 “S” engine and 1970 “T” engine. The fact that the engines were built by Holman-Moody. The 69 valve springs were improperly tempered and hence wouldn’t rev well. Ford replaced them but that sort of added to the idea that the engines were deliberately detuned. In 1969 I was in high school and we were playing a basketball tournament at U.S. Grant in OKC. There was a 1969 Boss 429, same color maroon, in the parking lot. I mentioned that to one of my teammates. He said, “Yeah it’s Bob Shirley’s”. Bob Shirley went to Putnam City High School, was a guard on their basketball team. He wound up a pitcher for the New York Yankees. It just blew my mind that he had a brand new Boss 429 in high school. They beat us in every game. They also had Alvin Adams on their team. He played for OU and pro for the Phoenix Suns. I graduated from Oklahoma State with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Once or twice a semester a professional would visit the campus and tell us about the real engineering world. The engineer from Ford described the drivability qualification and how it hindered many performance engines. (I had a 1963-1/2 Falcon Futura 2 door hardtop. 3 on the tree, 170 cubic inch 6, 101 horsepower)
Gourgous Car !!!! Stay Strong.....Peace
69/70 boss's are my favorite mustang's but then again 69/70 is my favorite 2 years for all muscle cars 70 model super bee is my absolute though
MY FAVOURITE MUSCLE CAR
My dream car is the 69 Shelby gt500... but this will do... Wow! its so impressive!!!!
Mine is the 69 mach 1, but this will do too😁.
just love any model 69 mustang. or 69 any muscle car. 60's and 70's muscle cars really got in my blood. fair to say the brothers i feel like im related to them and envious of their collection
My dream car would be the first first car I owned. A 1970 Plymouth Duster 340!
Growing up in a Mopar family, I was told these weren’t fast. I later found out this was untrue...
Beautiful car this is my dream car big fan of the mustang old school
Sounds of the hoofs are louder than the heart beat
My local Ford dealer had one of these in stock, and it sat unsold for a very long time. It ended out in the back row of the lot. After all these years, we remember these cars as if we can buy back our lost youth, or an alternate version of It.
i remember one in 1973 sitting at a used car lot in tennessee ,, 25 hundred bucks was the asking price .. i bought a r code 428 instead ..
I bet a 429 in this condition is easily worth half a million $...they usually go for 350k-500k. I can't believe how clean it is. What a beauty
Sadly, you are right though an owner wouldn't think so
That is a beautiful Mustang, great vid as always guys
Dream car😍😍 In black or blue though
Actually watching some of the pro's FORD sent all the parts for the Modifications to KarKraft to put that engine in there.
Smog pump doesn’t rob power. It only pump air into the exhaust ports. It was low volume air so it didn’t take much to turn it.
Beautiful muscle car
This looks so gorgeous...I don't even like Mustangs...but it's just making me love it. What a sweet, sweet ride! It's got me wondering who the man is that made these 429s sing? And what were they putting to the wheels with the right combination of love on top?
Bob Glidden won FIVE championships in a row with modified BOSS 429s.
First off, the Boss 429 was not an FE. It was the later true big block Ford which had a taller deck and wider bore spacing. The engine was designed from the start as a purpose built racing engine that in NASCAR trim produced around 700 hp at 7000+ rpm. In the Mustang it was de-tuned to 375 hp to avoid excessive insurance penalties, and also to keep mediocre drivers from killing themselves and others due to having wild, hairy handling characteristics from the front heavy weight distribution. That said, if the Mustang with that engine was outfitted with a wild cam, headers, more carb, S/S chassis tuning, lighter wheels, DOT drag tires, and a worthy driver, it would easily smoke anything else on the street both currently and back in the day.
I had one and was never beat. A Dodge 440 came close but I got him...😊
Not currently
This thing right here is one of my dream “cars”.
Nice car my favorite car is a 1970 429 boss
One pretty mustang wow
Not sure where you get your info from. But a BOSS429 is not a FE motor. It is a 385 series block.
Correct, we've addressed that mis-speak in previous comments.
My dream car? The one in the video,thanks, it is a beautiful car.
Beautiful wicked car.
A very impressive looking engine indeed!
Beautiful & powerful car
I love it
😎 love it ! could you do one on the Galaxie XL's ?
nice paint beatiful car
What’s my dream car 69 boss 429 I want one more than any car on the face of this earth
Bunky Knudsen is the one that made the decision to put it in the Mustang, supposedly it was envisioned for the galaxy, though the torino makes more sense...
This is my dream Mustang 😁🇺🇸👍🏻
This is my favorite car
my Dad born in 1950 bought a boss 429 from Healy Motors Ford dealership in Edmonton Alberta Canada brand new in 1970 for $4700..... 1970 $4700 dollar is equal to $28000 in 2017
1970 boss 302!
I Love This Car!
Awesome car for sure
Ahh you already did a blue boss 429.🛠😱👍 The only difference is one is 69 and ones a 70.same story.
That's a beautiful car.
that must be heaven
this is my dreem car
Drew Austin ran a Boss 429 hemi in nostalgia nitro in October of 2021 it ran 5.5 second 1/4 mile in California at CHRR 2nd quickest run in nostalgia AA/FC first year out. That is the same engine NHRA was scared to allowed run because they changed rules right before Walt Austin was to debut his 429 combo in the Alcohol Funny Car class saying the Boss 429 had potential is an understatement. It would of heat the current engine combination pretty bad in 2004. The corrupt NHRA can’t have anyone disrupting the status quo. Every American manufacturer would be building DOHC engines by now if NHRA didn’t exist.
Not an FE block......these have the 385 series family like the wedge-head 429/460's. The FE blocks were made in 332, 252, 406, 410, 427, and 428. There may have been other configurations that I am not aware of at this time.
Who are you referring to when you say" from the brothers collection"??

Good old homologation rules.....
I am huge Ford fan...….but this is hype...….back in 1969 all of us FORD fans were hyper excited that Ford was going to offer its new HEMI power house in a mustang...….that excitement ended when we discovered that it was SLOWER than the standard 428CJ...…...those HUGE and over square bore made GREAT HP in the 7000 RPM range...….the problem was from a stop it was slow.....
Absolutely love this car and this video!
Anybody know what music track was used for the first part?
I thought the 429 was the 385 family along with the 460, not a FE.
It wasn't at all tuned for high performance. "Ignition timing 10 deg BTDC"
And I think it had a carburetor smaller than the Boss 302.
Great job reporting
Ford seriously restricted the 428CJ and SCJ engines in their passenger cars too. Same way they did the boss 429
that car is worth the same as a house
I had an OEM Ford air cleaner 40+ years ago that I did not know what it went to. I thought maybe it could be a Boss 429, but didn't really know. I now see that it was a Boss 429 air cleaner. I wonder what that part would be worth now? I gave it to a friend when I sold him my 1969 Mach I 390 4 speed Mustang.
@Mark rapacki Yes, quite a bit more. Would have loved to save all the '69-'70 Mustangs I have owned, but could not afford to do so. I have owned many.
Some bolt on would probably make that 429 scream 😎
I like the fastback 428ci faster quarter mi. 429 is a track car
I want one ;-)
Nice Ford.
tip for future videos: A better driver might've made the car appear more bad-ass for a more exciting video but none the less, we know it is one.
These bring big bucks now
what sort of car polish was used to detail the car !
It's a product called Best Wax, made by Presta Products. Should be available online or some Automotive Paint Jobbers.
👍👍
can u make a video about 67 GTO HARD TOP?
429 is NOT an FE engine. It's a 385 series, the true Ford big block.
Hey, V8TV. How about some early & later model Pontiac GTO feature videos!!!
+Steve Mills th-cam.com/video/aUzCyR7SdoU/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/SFxeUGbW8OU/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/r27hBYbdHbY/w-d-xo.html
Noo!! I'm mainly talkin' about the cars that started it all. The EARLY ('64-'67) GTO's. Any plans to shoot some Coke bottle-bodied Goats?
Oh, one more question:
What happens to the "show" when ALL of The Brother's Collection is filmed? And, how many cars are left to feature?
Many thanks.....
There was a '65 in that list... We have a few tricks up our sleeves regarding the future of Muscle Car Of The Week. For now, it's not going anywhere as we still have lots to shoot!
THE GOAT!
❤️🔥
Looks better with the black front spoiler.
I had a 1969 cobra jet torino 428 that was painted just like the mustang here loved that car but I totaled it so sad
IM DEFINITELY GONNA SAY THE BOSS 429,,BOSS 351,,AND BOSS 302 WERE MY FAVORITE STANGS,,BUT I ALSO HAVE A HUGE SOFT SPOT FOR A 1968 SHELBY GT-500 KR. ARMED WITH A LIBERTY TOP LOADER 4 SPEED,,4:10 REAR END,,AND DRAG PAK OPTION,,IT MAKES 1 REAL NASTY BOULEVARD BRUISER. NASTY ENOUGH TO LAUGH AT A 1970 LS6 454 CHEVELLE,,NOVA,,CORVETTE. OR EMBARASS A HEMI CUDA. JUST MAKE SHURE U GET ONE BEFORE THEY STARTED CRAMMING THAT SMOG PUMP CRAP ON THE ENGINE.
At what price it will be available today..?
💘
1972 australian XA phase 4 gt falcon 160mph off the showroom floor, Media killed before it was released so Ford pushed some of the parts into the xagt rpo83 ( regular production order 83) so seeing as you couldn't get Phase 4 I will take an XAGT rpo83 coupe
The only Mustang I had no love for was the Mach Mustang, just couldn't get into it.
Royal shame i am not one of the brothers corp. that this car belongs to ..!! 😡😠 btw i Love this car this is one of my bucket list cars (a car i must at least see let alone drive or even ride in before i die hence my bucket list car thisor preferably a '70 purely b/c the rarity of a 70 boss9 and or a '67shelby gt500(eleanor)..!! 😆
"May be the Biggest hood on a muscle car ever" just wait 3 years
