But some of those classics are so rare that theyre almost impossible to find. Take Fords legendary Mustang Boss 429 for example. The last world-class real-deal Boss 429 we came across was a 1969 Candyapple Red car which rolled out of our showroom almost FIVE years ago. So its only natural that when we found this fully documented numbers-matching Wimbledon White stunner we simply couldnt wait to share it with you! Fresh out of a nut-and-bolt concours restoration and packing an original 429/4-speed drivetrain this fully documented Boss KK 429 NASCAR 1746 provides one serious investor the best of both worlds: ownership and enjoyment of one of Detroits ultimate muscle cars and solid equity in a highly exclusive collector car! BODYWORK/TRIM If nothing else this impressive pony is rolling proof that you should never judge a book by its cover. Or for our more logic-minded readers: everything happens for a reason. The simple pigment you see in our high resolution photography reflects a correct shade of Wimbledon White. And that correct shade of Wimbledon White comes courtesy of old school single-stage paint. Why you ask is a $350K classic finished in such elementary digs? Because the owner of this killer coupe spent the better part of 13 years returning the car to exactly the state it was originally sold in. Actually come to think of it 13 years is a bit misleading as the cars nut-and-bolt concours restoration really began in the 1990s under the stewardship of a previous owner. When the present owner purchased the project circa 2003 he inherited a car that was 95% original and decided to focus much of his time on finding missing NOS and date-correct parts. That translates to a numbers-matching Boss 429 that in addition to featuring many rebuilt and original components strives to be 100% authentic in both appearance and feel. That said we are talking about a restored car and many steps have been taken to ensure its integrity. For starters it was completely disassembled chemically dipped fully stripped and professionally e-coated. A full suite of date-correct ECS Automotive Concepts glass was ordered to complement a correct spoiler and official FoMoCo lighting. All of the cars chrome and stainless has been professionally restored and professionally polished. And everything is held together by high quality AMK Products hardware. ENGINE Lift the sculpted hood and youll find an original 429 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8 thats restored and ready to rock and roll thanks to Marion Performance Racing Engines of Marion Arkansas! While Dearborn brass rated these lethal powerplants at 375 horses for the sake of appeasing whiny insurance agents the fact that the mills actually made over 500 horsepower was one of Detroits worst kept secrets. Thats because Ford unapologetically developed their exclusive nine to be a homologation piece for MoPar-hunting NASCAR blocks of the same ilk.
