Over the years, various companies and individuals transformed the original Mustang into the Boss 429 without the blessing of the Ford Motor Company. But for the first time, people who wish to make the muscle car legend their own can get the Boss 429 as a continuation car from Classic Recreations.
In addition to Ford, Shelby American has given its blessing on the vehicle series, which will be revealed in the flesh on October 30th at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “Equipped with an 815 horsepower 514-cubic inch stroker engine featuring a Centerforce DYAD Clutch and flywheel, updated valvetrain and cutting-edge EFI and engine management systems,” the Boss 429 is priced from $209,000.
Each vehicle starts life from a 1969 or 1970 donor, but customers car opt for a brand-new body licensed by the Ford Motor Company. Custom colors are available upon request, and from the get-go, Classic Recreations offers heritage colors such as Grabber Blue and Wimbledon White.
The 4R70W is available as a no-cost option, and as expected, the rack-and-pinion steering system benefits from hydraulic assistance. Scat Elite seats, five-point Camlock seat belts, 200-mph gauge, Lecarra aluminum steering wheel, and Old Air Products climate control are standard.
Those who would rather listen to the radio instead of the all-American V8 are offered 5-channel amplification, coaxial speakers, and a JVC stereo with a removable face. For the flip-out DVD player with satellite navigation, prepare to pony up an additional $1,000.
As for the most expensive option in the list, the right-hand-drive conversion adds $12,500 to the price of the car. As expected from the crowning achievement of the Mustang lineage, the chassis benefits from oversized sway bars, coilover suspension, slotted and cross-drilled Wilwood brake discs, and tubular sub frame connectors.
“The Boss 429 is one of the coolest and rarest Mustangs ever produced, but they have gotten so valuable that most owners won’t drive them. This offers people the chance to own an incredibly rare car that they can actually drive, and with modern chassis and engine tech these cars will actually be faster and easier to drive than the original,” said Jason Engel, owner of Classic Recreations.
