Those are the ONLY 2 good ones in the entire existence of Mustangs, 67-68 GT500 and 69-70 Boss 429. That’s it. 71 to now has just been an ongoing production of ugly ass trash.
Damn, two of the most beautiful cars ever made. Most may disagree, but I'd have to go with a 69 because after seeing one at a car show about 6 years ago, it has been my favorite car of all time. The 67 is literally right on its heels though.
The 69 was all business and the 67 was more for style in my opinion take the boss 429 build the hell out of it and drop it in the 67 then you have power and style
I seen with my own two eyes a 1969 boss 429 fake sell for 220 thousand dollars. Now it was very nice very well restored car...but it was a 220 thousand dollar fake. If that were a real boss 429. Welllllll the sky is the limit. Them people who have oil money in the middle east will spend big money for cars like that. If your friends car was a true Boss 429...with the title saying so with numbers matching and he sold it for 105 thousand...then he sold out waaaaaaay to cheap. Of course everybody claims to have a real one there were only about 1600 ever made. Soooooo
Typically the Boss 429 was more suited to the NASCAR tracks, rather than the 1/4 mile strip. I'll never forget the sound of David Pearson's #21 Wood Brothers Mercury 429. He dominated that MI. race in '76! Those Boss 429 engines had a distinct sound all there own!
I don't understand why they didn't put the 429 boss engine in the Torino,they keep saying it was for NASCAR but i sure never saw a Mustang on a NASCAR track. They really had to to do some re-engineering to get that in a Mustang
@@scottmickelson363 Ford decided the Boss 429 would sell better as a unique Mustang than put the Boss 429 into a Torino. BTW, Ford factory didn't build the Boss 429 Mustangs. Aftermarket company, Kar Kraft, built them using bare shell factory Mustangs.
HP is HP, Boss 429 is suited to whatever contest of HP you want it to compete it in. It’s a closed chamber, opposed valve monster of an engine with more inherent potential than then OE 426 Hemi.

I must say I would love to own either one of these cars one day but a 1970 boss 429 is my all time dream car. After me and my dad restoring his 70 Mach 1 I’ve always have been a huge mustang fan. Just a huge bummer he let it go last year. I guess it just means I’m going to have to find me a boss 9 one day and work on it with my sons.
There's a framed 24x20 print of a red 1969 Boss 429 on my office wall right above my desk. I look at it everyday and it transports my 73 year old mind back to the days of the muscle cars. The Boss was my dream car back then . . . and has been since. It's unlikely (due to cost) that I will ever own one, but in my mind's eye, I envision myself pulling up to a stop light, the driver side window rolled down, my left arm resting on the door. As I look to my left at the driver beside me admiring the Boss, I smile slightly and say . . . "don't you wish you were me?"😎
Having owned a 68 with a 428 scj, (5400 bucks new) and a 4-speed...I can tell you the Shelby is 400 pounds heavier than a GT. Mine would whip a STOCK boss 429 in the quarter mile. But...if the boss got headers, slicks and a decent sized carb...oh, no, the boss would win. I put those things on mine....the boss still won. They were made to modify. (both).
When I was nineteen, I got a 1970 BOSS 429. Headers, a Holley 850 double pumper to replace the anemic 735 cfm vacuum secondary carb, and disconnecting the rev limiter and distributor vacuum retard REALLY woke my BOSS up. Selling it has been the biggest regret of my life. It was Pastel Blue. Only eighteen Pastel Blue BOSS 429s were made.

No. It's called a stall converter, slicks and a much larger cam/carb than what was factory installed. There's no way either of these cars would pull the front wheels from the factory, even with slicks.
I know where I was. I was at the local Ford dealer. I saw the Boss 429 mustang with a $5,000 MSRP tag in the window. I said "That's ridiculous. Nobody is ever going to pay $5,000 for a Mustang." I wasn't far off. The car sat at the dealership for almost a year until they sold it to another dealer.
Roc Bottom... the new GT500 is, sure. but we are talking classic mustangs. the 1971 Boss 351 had the fastest 1/4 mile time of any 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's mustang from the factory.
I owned a cherry blue 1969 Boss 429 in 1972 and later a blue 1967 Shelby GT500. Both cars were a super blast to drive. The Shelby was flashier with the white stripes but the Boss felt like it had a better suspension and a better ride. For you little whiners down below, when I said I owned a cherry blue 429, I meant that it was in great (cherry) condition. You little girls need to get updated in car talk. Now go play with your little cell phones.
At first i fell in love with the 67 , then when i saw the 69 it became my all time favorite mustang , but the 67 will always be my highschool sweetheart and have a special place in my heart
☑️ It's easy to tell who has the 4speed manual in races involving ANY Boss Mustang, because they ONLY came with top loader 4spd manual transmissions. Automatic transmissions were not an option in Boss 302, Boss 351 or Boss 429 Mustangs, which makes them even cooler! ✊😄👍
Two legendary musclecars, to be sure. I personally prefer the Boss-9, but the GT500s (particularly the KR variants) were plenty fast, and also had a bit better handling. This a race that I'd be glad to be the "loser" in!
The two most iconic big block Mustangs ever made. But the regular 428 CJ Mustangs were faster in the 1/4 mile than a stock Boss 429 was. Ford really plugged up that engine from the factory with that little 735 cfm carburetor and really restrictive exhaust system. Plus the street version of the Boss 429 engine was WAAAAAY under-cammed. They should've used the same solid lifter cam in the Boss 429 as they used in the 429 SCJ. Never understood why they didn't and also never understood how a Boss 429 got a smaller 4 barrel carburetor than a Boss 302 did from the factory. Big block race engines don't like little tiny carburetors and plugged up exhaust systems. I understand they were trying to make it more streetable but they took it a little too far.
@@sparkyguitar0058 Yes, and no. it was available to the general public to a certain degree in extremely limited numbers. Special order only.Those cars were built for the primary purpose of running in the Super Stock classes where the Boss 351 was available to the general public and not as a purpose built vehicle. Do you know what the tests listed as the e.t.and mph of those Cobra Jets? 68 1/2 CJ was 14.01 with 103 mph, the 71 Boss 351 was in the 13's.Different magazines reported different results so I suppose it is subjective.
I couldn't tell for sure. Who won? I do know this, the 1969 Mustang Boss 429s were officially rated at 375 horsepower. That was because Ford was afraid that if they listed the TRUE horsepower, insurance companies and the government would not allow Ford to sell the car. The TRUE horsepower, the actual horsepower varied from 525 horsepower to as much as 565 horsepower and maybe even greater.
I like how the 67 looks sleek and elegant even without a front spoiler, it doesn't need it. The 69 is however my favorite. It's got the right proportions and attitude and is more spacious inside. Ultimate shark nose design on the front before it all became a bit too cute for my liking in '70 with two headlights

@@milojanis4901Ford was making close to 800 horsepower in the 60’s with the Boss 429 100% believable these engines came make way more naturally aspirated
I was a lot boy at a Ford dealership in 1970. It was a gloomy, grey day with slight drizzle. My manager threw me a set of keys, “take that car over too the other lot”. It was a bright red Boss 429 with a HURST shifter. Oh how I wanted to romp on that gas pedal. NOT ON A RAINY DAY! Sweet.
0:40 429 is on the left and shelby on the right. If you roll the clip, and look on the sides on both left and right when they cross the line the left large number lights lit up first then the right side which gave the boss 429 a win.
The Boss 429 was actually built by a subcontractor, who had to rebuild the entire front sub-frame to accommodate the larger engine. So, not a through-design concept, though quite fun in its own right.
Thanks for posting! This is the way things used to be, Interesting instead of Booooring! Pro Stock these days is as boring as watching paint dry. This is more my speed. Going to attend some Southeast Gasser's Ass. runs this year! They look fun. Wheelies, hard launches. They may be slow but they're spectacular!
That's two monsters right there... I'd turn the gt500 into a Eleanor n cruise it... the boss I'd keep put up too lol... that's a nervous drag race , you got two ridiculously rare mustangs that are worth a small fortune a piece , hauling balls down a drag strip.. but that's what they was created for.. to street race n look n sound amazing.. and it's awesome to see em still doing it... but man those are some of the most rarest mustangs nowadays especially that 500.. I get nervous every time I see a Boss 302 , boss 429 , Gt350 , gt500 and the mach 1s drag race.. because you don't see em anymore , and they don't make em anymore. And once crashed its almost impossible to restore em.. but they are fun to watch n see.
With all that excessive weight up front, I don't see it as a balanced Track Machine. It couldn't hold a candle to a new Caddy CT5-V Blackwing on the track. Then again, that car is equipped a 6.2 Supercharged Corvette Z06 V8 with 662 hp, 0-60 mph in 3.4 sec for $125,000; Dealer Pricing $140,000 & they're already sold out.
I'd take a 68 Shelby GT500KR over a 69-70 BOSS 429 because the 428 CJ in the Shelby is a much better engine for everyday street use than the race bred BOSS 429. If I buy a classic muscle car, I plan on driving it pretty often.....not just letting it sit in a garage afraid to put miles on it. That being said.....the BOSS 429 is the baddest Mustang of that era and one of the baddest muscle cars ever made by Ford. Only the Ford R-Code 427 was meaner than the BOSS 429
Obviously neither of these cars are stock (including OEM tires), but if you go back and look at 1/4 magazine times of the muscle car era, the quickest Ford was the 1971 Mustang Boss 351.
ßarbØssą-LoL 429 jumped so technically the gt500 won. But if they would run again id sti habe ny miney on the gt500 due to the fact that it was solely built to drag race where as the 429 was designed for NASCAR

Never been a fan of american cars in general but these 2, specially the 429, are prob in my top 10 evecr
The ONLY 2 mustangs attractive enough for my approval
my Dad had a GT350 convertible. I remember standing up in the backseat holding the Roll Bar.
Chingona la carrera y los autos también gracias por grabar eso bro
Definitely awesome the 429 is my favorite mustang I like the shelby all so
That was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life
Which is the best? I love them both
Keeping both those beasts straight is a handful.
really awesome video. never scene these 2 car race. can you clear it up? who won?
Watch the video and lights
I was a lot boy at a Ford dealership in 1970. It was a gloomy, grey day with slight drizzle. My manager threw me a set of keys, “take that car over too the other lot”. It was a bright red Boss 429 with a HURST shifter. Oh how I wanted to romp on that gas pedal. NOT ON A RAINY DAY! Sweet.
Very nice. Who won?
And the outcome? 69 red light but what was the times.
Who won? What was the times? Couldn't see anything! Everything was blurry!
0:40 429 is on the left and shelby on the right. If you roll the clip, and look on the sides on both left and right when they cross the line the left large number lights lit up first then the right side which gave the boss 429 a win.
Those Boss 429’s didnt work very well in stock form. Way under-tuned from factory. Cam, intake, bigger carb and some headers were/are necessary
Add excessive weight over front of car. The 429 was heavier than the 428, which resulted in less traction off the line.
Which ones which? N which one won?
Watch the video!
At least we see who won, but how about the times/mph???
Hi can somebody please inform me what are the main differences between a GT500 and a Boss 429 thanks
Besides the entire body, interior, and completely different engine designs... same exact cars.
@@oldtimerf7602 which one was more powerful stock?
The Boss 429 was actually built by a subcontractor, who had to rebuild the entire front sub-frame to accommodate the larger engine. So, not a through-design concept, though quite fun in its own right.
I like to watch them race, but what were the times
Thanks for posting! This is the way things used to be, Interesting instead of Booooring! Pro Stock these days is as boring as watching paint dry. This is more my speed. Going to attend some Southeast Gasser's Ass. runs this year! They look fun. Wheelies, hard launches. They may be slow but they're spectacular!
That's two monsters right there... I'd turn the gt500 into a Eleanor n cruise it... the boss I'd keep put up too lol... that's a nervous drag race , you got two ridiculously rare mustangs that are worth a small fortune a piece , hauling balls down a drag strip.. but that's what they was created for.. to street race n look n sound amazing.. and it's awesome to see em still doing it... but man those are some of the most rarest mustangs nowadays especially that 500.. I get nervous every time I see a Boss 302 , boss 429 , Gt350 , gt500 and the mach 1s drag race.. because you don't see em anymore , and they don't make em anymore. And once crashed its almost impossible to restore em.. but they are fun to watch n see.
Are they both stock?
Boss 429 was made for NASCAR back in the day. Still a Beauty. 💋 I love GT 500 too. It’s a dream.
With all that excessive weight up front, I don't see it as a balanced Track Machine. It couldn't hold a candle to a new Caddy CT5-V Blackwing on the track. Then again, that car is equipped a 6.2 Supercharged Corvette Z06 V8 with 662 hp, 0-60 mph in 3.4 sec for $125,000; Dealer Pricing $140,000 & they're already sold out.
About the same view I saw of a GT500 back in the day when I raced one. Tail lights!
Who is won?
the thumbnail is legendary for me.
WOW! There REAL CARS. THANKS. John P.
Epic showdown. Both winners in my book. #Stangs4Life!
So who won the race?
That 429 took off. Holy smokes.
I'd take a 68 Shelby GT500KR over a 69-70 BOSS 429 because the 428 CJ in the Shelby is a much better engine for everyday street use than the race bred BOSS 429. If I buy a classic muscle car, I plan on driving it pretty often.....not just letting it sit in a garage afraid to put miles on it. That being said.....the BOSS 429 is the baddest Mustang of that era and one of the baddest muscle cars ever made by Ford. Only the Ford R-Code 427 was meaner than the BOSS 429
Jeremy Thompson hey may I ask you something should I buy a 70 gt500 or a 70 boss 302 or a 69 camaro z28 rs
69 camaro any day over a 70 mustang. 69 was the best year for both cars
Drop a 427 or 454 in the camaro though
LordZeusCannon so a 69 camaro z28 rs than a 70 gt500 Shelby
@@AlejandroP1980s fuck a piece of shit camaro!!!
Nice cars but who won, blurry camera guy?
Two best looking cars ever. I would not be able to choose.
Nobody gonna say anything about the fact that Shelby just did a wheelie?
That was cool the whole car was almost momentarily leaving the ground
The Shelby did a wheelie. There.
@@SeyranBMW Isn't that the truth. A wheelie definitely looks cool but won't get you the win !!
Comments make me feel lucky to be in highschool with 1 Badass 69.
16 WiTh A 69 u had one?
@@Chrisxx-tv3xu *Still got it, check out the channel only in 11th grade.
Jesus you must had a lot of chiks into you back then
@@qmata2310 I'm only 16, approaching 17 in July but the chicks will always be there im in Love with HorsePower.
@@1badazz697 sure they will
what was the outcome /
Oh man and thanks i need this all my wife talks about is EVs
gt500 is fantastic,but boss is another level
Come to Daddy 500 won
not really.
Which one was faster?
Watch the video!!
Boss my favorite car all the time
Who is win?
Be nice to see the times.
Now put a 427 ford in a mustang and put it in the race! Game Changer!!!
They both won. Awesome cars.
I don't think either of these are stock. That 500 lifted the front wheels.
Who won?
Jack Savage gt500
Geez are you people that ignorant
Best video on TH-cam
A friend is mine has a Boss 429. It's an awesome car!! He bought it in 1969
So who won?
Two big block Mustangs going at it
You dont see many races like this. Pure horsepower but i still like my 1966 Gt 350 .
WHAT A PAIR OF COOL FAST CARS! John P.
So who won? what happened?
These cars look absolutely gorgeous
Near lane jumped the gun, but what ET did the other guy run?
The 69 Boss 429 needs a bigger carburetor and a fatter cam. Then it would be get the women kids and Chevy's off the streets.
I really hoped that the mustang would win.
Loved both since they first came out and still do
Who wons?...
Watch the tree
The 428 is a beast but the 429 is king beast.
Obviously neither of these cars are stock (including OEM tires), but if you go back and look at 1/4 magazine times of the muscle car era, the quickest Ford was the 1971 Mustang Boss 351.
The Boss got the Shelby off of the line. Makes a big difference.
I kick myself daily for selling my 460 powered 69. Most beautiful of all Mustangs.
Boss left the tree early. Automatic lose!
@@SeyranBMW Thats not even close to wat I was talkin bout
My 2 personal favorite cars
So the 429 won?
ßarbØssą-LoL 429 jumped so technically the gt500 won. But if they would run again id sti habe ny miney on the gt500 due to the fact that it was solely built to drag race where as the 429 was designed for NASCAR
ßarbØssą-LoL red
Yes.. Mustang boss win
No, the Boss 429 red lighted. The Shelby won.
Boss 429 always wins
Neither one looked or sounded stock, so what's the difference which one won.
They called it the BOSS for a reason
I will race mine....if I ever get it together. 70 429 Grabber Blue
