LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1969 Ford Boss 429
The 1969 Ford Boss 429 represents the absolute pinnacle of Ford’s muscle car engineering during the golden era, a purpose-built homologation special created to legitimize the formidable semi-hemispherical 429 cubic inch engine for NASCAR competition. Unlike conventional Mustangs of the period, each Boss 429 was extensively reworked by Kar Kraft, receiving significant structural and mechanical modifications to accommodate the massive big block. The result was a factory-built race-inspired machine—brutally capable, visually aggressive, and produced in extremely limited numbers—earning its place today as one of the most revered and collectible American performance cars ever built.
This particular example is an exceptionally desirable early-production car, equipped with the coveted factory “S” code Boss 429-4V NASCAR engine and retaining its numbers-matching engine. Early “S” code cars are especially prized among collectors for their raw, competition-oriented engineering and their direct connection to Ford’s NASCAR development program. The car is finished in ultra-rare Royal Maroon, a seldom-seen factory color that adds a level of exclusivity and presence rarely found among Boss 429s. The exterior is perfectly complemented by a Black Clarion Knit Vinyl interior featuring hi-back bucket seats, maintaining both the authentic look and feel of the era.
The car has been the recipient of a complete nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration, executed to the highest standards with an uncompromising focus on the details. Every component has been meticulously restored, refinished, or replaced, from the drivetrain and suspension to the finishes, fasteners, and markings throughout. The undercarriage is presented to the same exacting level as the exterior, showcasing the quality and thoroughness of the restoration. No expense was spared in bringing this Boss 429 back to a condition you see here.
Mechanically, the car is as impressive as it is visually striking. The numbers-matching “S” Code Boss 429 engine remains the centerpiece, delivering the kind of performance and engineering pedigree that made these cars legendary. It is further equipped with desirable factory options including power steering, power front disc brakes, and the highly sought-after 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle ratio, offering an ideal balance of drivability and performance. The competition suspension enhances handling characteristics, while the correct trunk-mounted battery setup highlights the unique engineering that sets the Boss 429 apart from its contemporaries.
Accompanying the car is a comprehensive level of documentation, including its factory build sheet and Ford invoice, Deluxe Marti Report, further solidifying its authenticity and provenance. This level of documentation is critical in today’s collector market and adds significant confidence and value for the discerning enthusiast.
Rare in both specification and color, quality, and backed by complete documentation, this 1969 Ford Boss 429 represents a truly outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the most important and iconic muscle cars of its time. A centerpiece for any serious collection, it embodies the peak of Ford’s racing ambition and remains a lasting symbol of American high-performance engineering.
