Vehicle description
This 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 is powered by its original 429ci V8 engine with the original oil-cooler setup, paired with its original matching-numbers close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. It retains the original transmission ID tag, original engine ID tag and original 3.91 Traction-Lok differential. Finished in Black Jade over a black interior, this example was completed in Dearborn, MI, in 1969 and was assigned KK No. 1649. A California car for virtually its entire life, it is stated to retain 100% of its original sheet metal and features desirable factory equipment, including a remote mirror, trunk light, competition suspension, power steering, power brakes and a functional hood scoop. Additional highlights include a red oxide undercarriage, correct smog system, date-coded glass, a working AM radio, correct Goodyear F60-15 Polyglas tires, and the original spare and jack. Documentation includes the original Build Sheet, original warranty card, original quality control sheet, a copy of the sales invoice and a Marti Report. One of 850 produced and one of 162 finished in Black Jade, this Boss 429 was purchased new by Willard Kendig, inventor of the Kendig Variable Venturi carburetor made famous through Dyno Don Nicholson's drag racing wins.
