Lot #749 - This early-production 1969 Boss 429 being sold by the original owners Dale and Phyllis with all of the original documentation and 21,400 original miles. This matching-numbers, original, unrestored car features a 429ci V8 early-production S-code NASCAR motor with a 4-speed manual transmission. It was purchased from Oakley Motor Co. in Memphis, TN, on March 18, 1969. Original documentation includes dealership sales agreement and two owner warranty identification cards. Also included is the original finance contract with the original bank payoff letter. Boss 429 purchasers also received a questionnaire from G&D Communications Corporation to the "exclusive" owners with a Boss 429 name plate as a token of appreciation to complete; both the letter and name plate are included. Additional documents include a bank slip showing first payment due date, number of payments and the first-year insurance policy document. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
It is not about the money or about the fame. It is about how much that man loved that car to keep it that clean after all those years. My deepest respect to him for keeping it so well.
Could not agree more!
Dam it sure is an awesome ride, had a 70 boss 302 always wanted an 429 boss as good as it gets nice !
@@timlink341 and than comes the dumb ass, with an urge to talk, God help us
I detail cars on the side. I just love when people treat there cars like this! Clean, Clean, Clean! What a true Survivor! Shawn
To me that car is priceless. What a machine. I hope the buyer takes care of it.
I am sure it went to someone with the means to take very good care of it.
Great story. Adorable original owners. Early S-code Boss 9. Great taste in cars! ...All original. Monthly payment $55 bux a month...!!! Dale and Phyllis you made a great investment in your future. Enjoy your retirement!
if i was rich i would go broke buying all the old muscle cars
Time to start saving up!
Or your name would be Jay Leno!
If I hit the lotto I would have a warehouse full of old muscle cars.
That's what I'm going to do once I make my millions lol.
This was truly a great investment, they got all the joy of owning the car and the sold it for a ridiculously high price! Awesome video and a great story.
Thanks for watching, great story and yes they did well with this one!
Yeah the joy of barely driving it, I hate people that don't drive their cars.
415 s30 you should have bought it so you could drive the shit out of it
415 s30 I recently went from using my supercharged Mach 1 as a daily driver to relegating it to weekend duty and occasionally taking it to work if the weather is really nice. It still has very low miles, and I want to stop racking them up. It makes it more special when you do drive it, and it will last longer.
415 s30 That's why people like you are referred to as "haters." They used it. Maybe even frequently. They just took rather short drives most likely.
Amazing story these days... almost unheard of provenance, thank you for sharing.
thanks for checking it out , yes not to many with this kind of history
TheCanadianBubba boss 351 was only in 1971 not 69
King of The Mustangs
Yep
one of my all time dream cars! Simply amazing!
And this one is untouched from new for the most part.
I love the vinyl smell, someone needs to make it into an air freshener! Beautiful car, it was definitely one of my favorites of the show. Very cool to hear the original owners talk about it. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Connor! I really enjoyed meeting them and speaking to not only them but their now grown kids too.
How did that couple have 2 sons and only manage to drive the car 21,000 miles? Wow those boys must have really respected or feared their father lol
Would've been cool if they passed it down instead of selling it.
@@erictalkington5674 Yeah like w.t.f. If I was one of those sons.. I would be pissed!!!!!!!
Reading between the lines...
I'll guess the low milage happened because they started a family. He bought the car new to celebrate his graduation. Got a job, bought a house, had a baby. Now the two door car is just not the best fit for the family. They bought something with four doors but he loved the car so it didn't get traded in. It went into the new garage for occasional use only. Lucky for Ford fans.
Next issue:
Ford did not build this car to beat all the muscle cars on the street. If they wanted to do that, they certainly could've. They needed a race engine for NASCAR competition. To qualify, they needed to sell at least 500 of these engines in production vehicles. That's why the carb limited power to 375 HP. The pump gas available limited the compression. The tiny carb obviated a need for dual exhaust but in 70 they added it to help sales. That package required a lower RPM range cam for street use.
The heads, valves, block, intake, crank and rods, transmission and rear end were all race car ready. I guess a quick swap of carb and open dual exhaust would've added 50 HP for the street. Drag racers could've swapped the cam and pistons to run race gas or methanol. All those parts are very easy to change while it's very hard to accomplish a high RPM tuned induction and exhaust system and race engine short block. Ford provided the very difficult parts for the racing teams but it was right there for the hobbyist as well.
This engine would have dominated NASCAR except the NASCAR organization changed their rules which eliminated the need for production.
The value of the car cannot be argued. Once the hammer falls at the auction, the value of this asset is indisputable for that day and location. Now three years later, they'd probably open bidding at $300k with increments of 10, it might fetch $400k.
Have to agree on all of your points, nice post.
It's sad in a way to see someone have to let a car like this go. Not only does it have automotive historical significance, but it also has important family historical significance.
I know this is an older video, but once again you show the great story behind the car. Thanks Rich!
Thank you, yes they were ready to let it go and I spoke to their adult sons and they were on board. Very nice family and hopefully the new collector appreciates this one and cares for it like they did.
That’s an original car for sure 🔥
Wow! A rare gem. Nice to see an authentic and totally original car that is just the way it was meant to be when it left the factory in 1969. Unlike the many over restored cars you see. I hope she has gone to a good home and remains just as she is. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Sean, yes hopefully this stays as is and doesn't become an overly restored version.
Very cool Rich thanks for sharing it . It would a a cool one to take home
Thanks for checking it out Joe!
What a story! So cool they kept it all these years too bad they decided to part with it, but hard to argue with the cash in hand!
Thanks for stopping by Freddie!
WOW!! $325K I hope its in good hands now,gorgeous gem.
Yes someone bought a real rare and complete 9 for sure.
What was missing was evidently the smog fitting.
Pete :")
smog,lmao
Morbid Thrasher
do that with any performance car better ignition and carb. 429 was a DOg ..14 second car
If I am not mistaken the reason ya see a difference in the hoodscoop color is the hood scoops were painted with lacquer at a different time at the car kraft plant .
Danny, that could be the case and makes sense as it was Boss '9 specific and installed at the mod shop.
danny stewart I work for Ford we only used enamel
Joe Fernandez ford did not paint the big scoop. Kara craft out of Brighton farmed it out. Why do ya think all 70 b9s were flat black regardless of car color .
I believe you are incorrect sir . Ask ed Mayer or bob Perkins or a number of experts .
My favorite car ever. Just actually saw a 69 fastback Mustang yesterday. Not a boss or Mach I but still looked nice.
Absolutely amazing to see such a rare piece of history not only in that condition but with the original owners. And for you people knocking it down your just jealous so shut the F up. It was sad to see it be sold and not keep it in the family for many more years to come but definitely understand why they did it. Thank you very much for sharing. That's definitely a dream car of mine! :-)
Well said Trevor and thanks for watching!
Mine too man. Can't wait until I own one.
Provenance out the waazoo! Talk about an appreciating asset. Great stuff
That is for sure, thanks for checking it out!
Incredible car & super nice people & story.
One can only hope to keep a car thing long and not mess with it......thanks for watching Nick!
Real noisy background! As always beautiful car!
Pete :")
I know that auction noise was unfortunately unavoidable :( Thanks for watching Pete, if you send me your address I will mail you out a channel sticker.
It 's a real good & rare opportunity to see how the original factory paint jobs were done back in the day!! Honestly not that great when compared to the paint jobs as of today! Shows how far paint technology has come! Sure it did last a long time though! You really don't mind mailing it all the way to India!?! ;")
Pete :")
Beautiful original survivor Boss! And one helluva price tag. 100 times the original cost roughly, wowzer.
Yes they did o.k. by hanging on to it.
A real rare Mustang right there. Awesome price! Wow!!!
No doubt a wonderful backstory too. Thanks for watching LLoyd!
My dream car simply beautiful all original 😍
Great example of where to use a microphone so that background noises can be turned way down. The owners can have some nice money from the sale and future generations can see this classic. But the sad part is that it will never be seen crusing the strip on Saturday night or be ripped on at the drag strip or just enjoyed for what it was built for.
Outstanding!
Glad you like it!
that engine's making a lot more HP than ford advertised
That is for sure!
Wouldn't say a lot more they didn't perform better than the 425hp 427 from Chevy or Mopars hemi. Had they not stuffed a mild cam in them with a small carb they could have been far more impressive. In net hp they make less than 350hp. So you are looking at maybe 300whp.
lmao do a little research
Was present at the dyno test for one this summer a 70' that had just been rebuilt. At sea level 296whp.
wow some owner had his classic put on a dyno rebuilt by who knows who and how do we know he gave it all it had. if i had a 1970 429 BOSS with double barrel heads worth ( just the engine) 30.000 and up ,why would i throw it on a dyno and run the shit out of it lol. i have seen stock ones in engine shops on dyno easily push 500hp all day, and thats STOCK. comparing 429 BOSS to a 350 GM is retarded , if the 429 is such joke why are people willing to pay 30 to 40 grand!!! damn they could have just bought a stock 350 or even 427. The 429 BOSS double barrel head engine is one of the best race engine built in the 1970s. the reason ford rated these and other engine below the 400hp range is because a lot of people may get kill with power like that and the ford suits needed deniability and the insurance issue of course. So all you GM fan boys need to do your research . ford built so many bad ass engine's i not going to list them all it would take to long,but the 429 is just one and it is awesome. maybe you should research the 429 performance in NSCAR ,basically the same engine in the mustang and others.
what a beautiful car!!
Great people too, thank you for checking it out.
Man who would want to sell that!?!?!? I couldnt imagine especially if I were the one that bought it off the lot..it wouldnt go anywhere but my kids the day I died!
The whole family was there including their now adult "children" . It was time, they are ready to move it along and everyone agreed. Great story though huh? Thanks for watching.
Beautiful!
Yep! Thanks for watching and keep an eye on your mailbox!
Very cool Rich, nice people and a super car
This was probably my favorite Boss '9 that I have ever covered that is for sure. Thanks for watching Terry, your shirt should get to you tomorrow.
It was an investment from the get go! Just like buying precious metals or stock market,I have a couple investments in my barn not worth quite as much but I'm still building interest in them right now,1957 Chevy truck a 1954 Ford f100 and a 70 Camaro ss
Amazing. Right at the 04:29 mark I saw a subtle dimple on the body line about 14" above the R in good year and just about 6" to the right .
Watch the video from 4:28 -4:31 and see the reflection for the Ceiling light get distorted . At the 03:28 mark you see the minor damage to the fender lip just above the side marker light .
I wouldn't restore it because it's a piece of history where all the dings and worn chrome prove its age .
Wow Gary, nice job on finding what was hard to see in person. Yes this one has tons of personality as is....
How much did it cost when they bought it? I don’t know if you could do that well in the stock market.
beautiful
Yes thanks for stopping by!
wow orignal owners thats cool if been me buying the car i would want a picture of them the owners
wow super original shape 325g wow they were happy they keep it all those years
a grad present 85 bucks per month payments back then was a lot but what a great investment it was awesome
Thanks Drew and this one is for everyone who let theirs get away. A nice little nest egg or not so little nest egg depending on how you look at it.
The reason the scoop looks different is the '69 Boss 429's were notorious for cooking the paint right off the scoops. Ford had so many warranty issues with the painted scoops they ended up going to the black (heat resistant) hood scoops in 1970 (an old Ford guy and now recently retired multi degreed Engineer who worked 32 years at America's largest defense contractor.
I have heard that before.....
I had a 69 Torino GT with black scoop
Awesome ride I have 5 Mustang's 3 69's coupe, ragtop & a Mach1 & a 72 & 73 Mach 1, I also have a set of original Goodyear Polyglass tires from that era, they look great but they are a hard riding tire with no traction on wet pavement. The 69 body style has always been my favorite & the 72 a second fave. It's hard to believe this car when new could be had for less than $6000.00, my real stupid mistake a few year's ago 1987. I passed up a deal for a 1968 Shelby GT 500 with an extra 428 for $17,000.00 Lime green 4 speed, posi you know how hind sight is 20 20.
Sounds like you have quite the collection going! Yes, hind sight is always 20/20 when it comes to any investment.
Awesome!
Thanks for checking it out!
MustangConnection1 Thank you for let me check it out, for your video! ))
hmmm nice investment.
for the original owners and new owners.
Awesome Car!
Agreed, thanks for watching!
Imagine buying a car in 1968 driving it , loving it then in 2019 it's at a Auction and you feel the car has reached the end of the road
They got a lot of enjoyment out of it and were then rewarded again at auction with $325k. Nice investment all the way around. Things like this happen all of the time in a capitalist society, Bernie.
Wow what a rare find...You can tell by the off color that the hood scoop has been repainted...the '69's were notorious for cooking the paint on the hood scoops due to the heat of the Boss 429 Engine...that's why Ford went to flat black hood scoops in '70.
This was a great car and story. Hmm hadn't heard that one before, I thought it was a logistical issue , making it easier to just have them all black.
@MC1...No problem, it helps to be old like me...haha...no it was definitely all the warranty issues Ford had with the painted fiberglass scoops in '69 being cooked that caused them to go to black n '70.
He's a better man than me. by 1974 that thing would have been completely worn out.
Good for them for driving it, taking care of it, making some dough and moving it along.
Amazing.
No doubt, thanks for stopping by, I know you gotta a chance to catch up with Matthew.
MustangConnection1 Yes. Nice guy.
That car will give them their retirement
What a great car! Perhaps I'm wrong on this, but from what I've seen, the 429 isn't exactly what one would consider a daily driver. It's not the power, but overall drivability around town. The Chrysler Hemi back in the day had similar driving matters. Still, that doesn't make this beauty less of a car in any way! My father had a 428 Cobra Jet that looked just like this car with a slightly smaller hood scoop. Same color and all. I was just a little kid, but I still remember driving it off of the dealers lot back when it was brand new. Courtesy of gasoline rationing and horrible fuel mileage, he traded it for a '74 Opel Manta (A). Grr.
Yes you are correct, these were never good street cars and with just over 1300 made between 69-70 they were never made for mainstream consumption. They struggle at low RPM's. The 428 CJ is a way better street motor in stock configuration. Bet your Dad still wished he had that CJ car!
I know I wish he still had it back in the day. He died very young, so I basically inherited the Opel as my first car, but man, I could have had the Mustang if he didn't trade it. I can't hold that against him that! heh Believe it or not, the Opel was a really fun car back in the day. I only had it for a year or so and ended up ordering a brand new fully loaded '82 black Mustang GT. Thanks to t-top delays, it took over a year to show up, but I was in 7th Heaven when it arrived. Crazy me, I had the engine out after less than a month and made a little monster out of that 302 (looked like a 60s engine with A/C and no smog crap. I also redid the suspension and wheel/tire combo for SCCA racing in the F Prepared class. Man, what a great everyday college car. LOL Actually, it was very drivable.
I remember those Opels being cool looking. I bought an '83 GT used in '84 and drove it in college as well, too funny.
No mods though as CA has some very strict smog laws. Had that car for about 4 years.
what a great investment
It sure worked out nicely for them.
Great Folks and Great Car.
No doubt!
maybe one day i get one
I seen it on tv man I thought it was worth more
I think they were happy but yes these never come along with this kind of story and documentation very often .
Hey , junior flip, those are not magnesium valve covers!! Those there are aluminum valve covers..
Dennis have they had this years auction ?
whoa!!!
I hope they enjoy that money! Good for them... heck of an investment! They can get a new GT350R and start all over again.
Very true and yes good for them, at least the original owners made some money on a car like this for once!
They had sons, If that was my parents they would have gone to the grave before the car went to auction.
I met the sons, they were there. It was their car and they were ready to move it along and enjoy retirement, hard to fault them for that.
That's pretty selfish, but I can't argue.
Derek Ortiz I used to think car enthusiasts were some of the best people. As time goes on I have begun to wonder if some of them are in fact the worst.
@@gregorytimmons4777 there are best and worst in almost every group.
Personally I would have sold the car and bought a Mopar.
Wow.
Hey Matthew, you ready for next week buddy!
right on!
love that body style looks pissed off lol
how could you have something like that and drive it 21000 miles......smh
So it would have been better to use it up like most of the rest? It is great to see this one survive in this condition. Good for them.
MustangConnection1 there wouldn't have been anything wrong with driving it a little more. it's fine to garage one, but at some point if you don't get it out and enjoy it, you just have something sitting in the garage. I've got an 03 terminator cobra with only 20,000 miles on it, but I still drive it quite frequently. I'd rather enjoy it myself than get a few extra grand in the end if I sell it. can't make memories with it sitting in a garage
And thats precisely why the unused one goes for much more. No one wants your hand me downs. They want the one someone didn't get to enjoy so they can. Not your sweat ridden seats, poor maintenance, and must odors. This was a great find. I bet he bought two of them. Ran one into the ground and babied this one. That's what I would have done.
Cory Lee Shhhhhhhhhhh 121,000
Khalid
You just described a Muslim taxi
Nice My favorite car of all a can’t think of one car in the world I would rather have more. But I’m not filthy rich but I’m not poor but still big money that I don’t have
They are outta reach now for all but the wealthiest now, very true but motivation to get there I suppose. Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated.
Original gas ?
Wow!!
Right ?! Love this car and their story
that's right!
That car will be worth more than a million in a few years.
Time will tell......
👍👍
Starter solenoid has been changed.
I have a doubt, Which colour it is?...greetings..!!!
Ford called it Candy Apple Red in 1969.
if i had that car i'd put it in my living room
It would make for a fine focal point in a living room.
If this guy says "original" one more time I'm going to explode!
Please Explode already
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
No doubt!
im in tennessee
The 69, 70 Mustang & Torino were used for NASCAR's homologation rule I'm sure the race engine wasn't a dog and a Boss 9 engine head version is being manufactured today. www.jonkaaseracingengines.com/html/kaase_boss_nine_-_semi-hemisperical_big_block_ford_cylinder_head.html
Wow..... I need a new pair of pants..... 😂
Haha
xXShredder989Xx v
Go to piggly wiggly they have an enormous selection of pantaloons
Oh 325K? Oh alright.
He's right, I would have ripped the smogg stuff of to, even if it was a restoration
Got enough background noise?
It's called an auction, can't call of the auction for your listening pleasure.
hahahahahaaaa I always wondered how these guys owned these cars all these years and did NOT drive!!! I couldn't keep my hands off, if I owned
Yes John, Most did drive the heck out of them so they are obviously rare to find in this condition and have the original owners story to go along with it!
Sold $325K - Hey It's just as good as hitting the lottery.
those look like sweet couple
Get a directional mic...damn.
yeah all them people out there Chevrolet guys especially comparing and some of the Mopar guys out there saying that the 429 was a love I can guarantee you this buddy it definitely wasn't a slug if that car had wings be flying the 427 the 428 and the 429 all three of those motors where great then we must leave out 289 hi- Pro which then evolved into the Almighty 5.0 everyone out there have a great night
Joseph Taverna Chevy man here...but a nice car is a nice car no matter what brand! Btw. All manufacturer understated horsepower. Look at ls6 Chevelle in 1970
At least it has miles on it. Nothing as maddening as a garage / trailer queen muscle car from the 60's & 70's with some ungodly low miles. Drive 'em, for Christ sake.
Yes and they kept it all this time, big bonus points for that!
It's funny how some people rant about a car like this with 21,000 miles yet if it had been bought new and immediately been relegated to NHRA A/S Eliminator duty and showed 107 miles or so how that would be "cool."
I bet that they regret letting that car go now. Huge mistake!
I've seen a ton of original Boss 429s with over 75,000 miles that are in much better shape than this.
Wow, cool, I have yet to see a ton of Boss 429's anywhere in the past 15 years that have not been restored or modified to some extent. In fact I can't even recall seeing a survivor Boss 9 like this at any of the various shows or auctions I attend.
Why sell it... smh
I just wished that drunk did not total my 1970!
*If I had the money !!* This inspired me to pinch my pennies and my dimes, *Evan more* !!(Sixith)
This would take some serious pinching for sure! Thanks for stopping by, always appreciated!
Why would they sell it
Per their comments, retirement, and 50 years was long enough, time for other things.
RETIREMENT CAN BE EXPENSIVE!!!!!
Seems to have had it far too long to even think about moving on
Sorry to be a troll but that is not "candy apple red." Candy paint jobs are custom ($$$). No cars have ever rolled out of the factory with a candy paint job. Just sayin'. Nice car though!! An even nicer profit!!
Learn your shit if you are gonna talk it, that is Ford Candy Apple Red, look it up. It's a name only not really a candy color but that it what Ford called it in '69. In 1970 it became Medium Red, Just sayin'
MustangConnection1
I wasn't trying to talk trash. I apologize. Sorry to upset you. Hahaa. Thank you for educating me.
Not upsetting me at all but no choice but to respond to the comment to set things straight. Please don't take offense to the
response and I hope you watch and comment on more videos on here. We are really just trying to share the hobby.
Ole Miss
Yep and proud
Great car but hard to believe the mileage is legit.
He didn't really have a commute and they lived in a small town so the car didn't really get driven very much or very far.
The common man's past time taken away is what this is...
Plenty of classic Mustangs out there, the Boss 429 was out of the "common" mans budget since it was introduced and has held a collector status since new. If you are talking about buying a used one back in the 70's then yes but these cars have been well out of reach for most for a very long time. Craigslist and Ebay are still chock full of affordable DIY projects for 69-70 fastbacks at somewhat reasonable prices.
it needs good paint job
Dale looks a little nervous. I think once he got the check, it's bye-bye Phyllis. She probably didn't talk to him for years after he bought this Boss 9.
Haha , Pretty sure they are riding off in the sunset together.
It was SUPER loud in there. I don’t think Dale heard a damn word the interviewer said.
I wouldn’t sell that car for the world.
There is always a point in time when somethings are meant to move along
I guess that’s true but still, I would’ve passed it down or something. I guess if you didn’t have anybody to pass it down too, you could sell.
I met both of their sons at the auction, they couldn't have been more thrilled for their parents. It is what it is and in this case yes it was time to sell.
MustangConnection1 I guess you’re right
No right or wrong just passing along what I saw and they held on to it longer than any Boss 429 owner out there. I am sure there might be a few but I have yet to hear about it. thanks for watching and commenting.Hope you are subbed and watch more.
Loud mouthed auctioneer kind of F’ed up this otherwise nice car review
I know, sorry about that it was the only opportunity to interview them before I had to leave, would have been ideal without the auctioneer for sure.
Better off selling it privately than giving those vultures inflated commissions...owner not thinking.
They get qualified buyers with real money at an auction like this and I highly doubt the private market would have brought anything close to what they cleared.
