1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

- Wimbledon White Fastback
- Boss 429 V8
- 4 Speed Manual

- 13,271 ORIGINAL MILES

Remaining untouched, this complete and stock vehicle was purchased from the original owner in 1981. It was driven 30 miles home and then parked in the garage where it still sets today has not been driven since. The Polyglass tires are still holding air and original paint shines. Please refer to the spec sheet in featured pictures for factory details.

Ed,those 65 year old eyes must be playing tricks on you (happy B day BTW ) most likely white colored dust because if it was white paint overspray then that would mean that the description is leaving out a lot of pertainent details .That never happens in any of thees high dollar collector car ads does it? ::)

Everybody knows that original owners never change or screw things up.

     I remember back in the late seventies there were frequently for sale low mileage BOSS 429s.  Although often with enticing prices (I wish I new then, what I know now!), the only problem was that often they came with a broken or no motor!  It seems back in the day the BOSS 429 engine wasn't an inexpensive proposition down at the Ford Parts Dept, so the mileage count remain low on many an example.       ::)

     Not saying that such is true with this particular car, but, if I were a player, this would be one of my concerns needing to be addressed.             ???

$205,400.00
Reserve not met

Feels like the car was bid up, given the final "no sale" price.
Nothing beats a classic!

No, this is not a big cubic inch engine. Just imagine if it was.
