Yesterday afternoon I closed the shop down early to go to a customers house to work on his 1969 BOSS 429 Mustang. The car had the incorrect shifter installed on it, Hurst instead of Ford. He had been looking for over a year for the original Ford piece and finally found one. So my job was to install that and find the original wiring for the back up lights and get that all working again.
After the work was all done his tosses me the keys and insists I take it for a drive. I really didn't want to drive it at first. This car is in amazing condition and is valued at well over $200k ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) In the end I couldn't resist the chance to drive such a rare piece of Mustang history. I took it for about a 5 mile drive and it was just amazing. Not amazingly powerful or anything like that, but just to know what it is that your driving and that most people will never get an opportunity like this was cool. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Anyway, now after driving that car and a Ford GT I can die a happy man...lol ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Good shit! I love the old Boss and Shelby cars.
It is kind of amazing though that a little super charged 281 can make more power than the monster 429 of old

The Most Awesome Engine Compartment of All Time! I went with a friend to Oroville in the early 70s to meet a guy with several 427 FEs for sale. While in his garage looking at 427 engines and parts, his wife parks a 70 Mustang in the driveway. So as we are talking Ford engines with the guy, he walks out to the Mustang and says "have you ever seen one of these" as he pops the hood and reveals a Boss 429 !! What a Shock! I think my buddy and i were both expecting a 351C since his wife drove up in it, but there it was a Real 70 Boss 429 Mustang!

Drew you are one lucky dude to be able to drive one of the best stangs ever built and of course the rarest...
Like somebody else said you were able to experience it because of your top quality work...

The phuqing donkey dick exhaust tips are ridiculous. Come on, a Boss 429 and the guy can't figure out how to hang his exhaust tips. WOW.
