    Those were great. The 429 was misunderstood especially at first but when properly tuned with more timing headers they were animals. 69 and 70 were very good looking cars. Thanks for another SUPER SWEET ONE

    Who knew that the easiest change of sparkplug for the '69 Mustang would be on the Boss 429? Very practical design! :) I think every classic car fan can appreciate Mr Nagel's extreme find taste in cars. Once again, thank you, Lou, for bringing these classics to us.

    Sounds like the car is breathing when it idles, yes it is factory perfect, not sure I get the importance of not driving it, as in my opinion cars are built to be driven, I would install some new rubber and drive the heck out of it! Interesting find Lou.

      Hi Ron. As to not driving or starting the car. The car is a MCA "Thoroughbred Gold" Award car. (one of three known to exist) That means the parts including the tires and exhaust are date code correct. Driving the car would damage the exhaust to the extent that it no longer would be a "Gold" car or Thoroughbred, since an entire period correct exhaust system is probably not available anymore.

    Wow thanks for the episode. Perhaps the nicest Boss 9 on UA-cam? BTW in the description the engine was described as a 429 Cobra Jet. The Cobra Jet available in '69 was a 428 wedge head engine. The the 429 CJ was a "twisted wedge" head engine available in the Mach 1 and Torino starting in 1970. The Boss 429 engine uses the unique semi-hemi heads among many other differences.

      Correct. The car was originally beautifully done by Rick Parker and then detailed and upgraded to compete for the MCA Thoroughbred award which it won. Becoming one of 5 '69's to do so. Bob removed reproduction parts and replaced them with restored originals or NOS.

But hey - if the dude don't want it on there and enjoys it in the bag - that's his business. But still, though curiosity killed da puddy-tat, I still can't help but be curious.

This car is also popular, competing with Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger, Pontiac GTO and other renown Muscle cars. I was pretty young back then, yet I was so excited seeing those Beautiful Muscle cars over and over. This car represents Masculinity with Sporty Classic model, GORGEOUS hatchback design WOW! I am not a fan of red color, but seeing this STUNNING BOSS makes my jaw dropped. OUTSTANDING! BELLISIMO! Thanks again Lou and of course Ken for sharing this FLAWLESS ART WORK!!!

    Hi, Lou! Sweet as a candy apple, tough as a Boss, the ultimate Hoss! One source I have says 858 Boss 429s were made for 1969, then 498 for 1970. Ford's slogan in 1969 was "It's the going thing!" and that had to be doubly true for this one! Yes, sir, a thoroughbred in every way!

    What an honor it's been to see Kens exception classic cars. Ford did a great job of redesigning the Mustang up till '70. The '69-'70 Boss is the most muscular looking of all the muscle cars in my opinion. Even the engine looks like it means serious business! The car is a work of art. It must be painful to resist taking it out on a nice autumn drive, but Ken has plenty to do that with! A nice consolation.

    What a beautiful car, in my opinion 69 was the last great design of the Mustang. The Shelby was my favorite. I’m a 50’s and 60’s fan, muscle cars. What they did to the Mustang in the 70’s 80’s and even now is a crime. I wouldn’t drive it either, roll it out in the sun, pull up a chair with a cup of coffee and just keep it company for a few hours. 👍

    Wow Lou there are no words except this car is above outstanding. This the best car to finish his car collection for us to see. Sort of the Grand Finale of sort. This car I could write so much about but it is so perfect what can you say. I would be afraid to drive it myself and can't blame for doing so. The originality of this unit with the stickers the tires and so forth is so interesting. I was noticing the spare tire sticker said B.F.Goodrich made in Medina Ohio that is a half hour from my house Medina is. Back in those days Akron Medina area was the tire capital of the world. Just so intriguing this car is. When was made I was just 11 years old. That color on my computer does not do it justice with that bright red color in person. Mr. Nagel thank you for showing us your whole collection as I had not missed one of Lou's video's of your awesome units. Such a nice man you are Mr. Nagel for letting Lou show us your cars. And Lou thanks for bringing each vehicle to us to see I know I appreciate seeing them. Just a outstanding video Lou and thanks for sharing it to us!!!

    When I was in H.S. in the early 70's i worked as a shop boy at the only machine shop in Titusville Fl. During Daytona race week we'd get very busy with some of the teams using the machine shop and dyno. I was a young teen Ford guy and one day we had a Boss 9 engine having some machining done, the team head mechanic was there working with our Master Machinist and I took the opportunity to ask him about why the Boss was rated 375 vs the 427 sideoiler's being rated 425 HP. He chuckled and said well regarding the factory 427 being rated 425, Ford just stuck a popular number on it, he said the tunnel port with two four barrels made a lot more than 425 and the high riser with two fours also made si8gnificantly more , but the 425 may have been pretty close for the low riser with a factory single four barrel. As to the Boss 9 he said the 375 HP rating was probably pretty accurate with factory exhaust, air intake with smog and the factory carb and cam, as Ford had it suffocated to pass the new EPA exhaust tests. He then said, a stock factory 429 that we receive we blue print it and with tuned headers and hand made two four-barrel intake, with two 1000 cfm holleys and custom cam they would pull 800 HP.

    @Lou Costabile like a lot of collectors in America though, Ken has become too obsessed about not driving these restored cars. I noticed the speedometer, it's a 58000 mile correctly restored car, not a 5000 mile preserved museum piece. They might be the correct date coded tires the restorer has found and put on the car but no way could they be the original tires to that car at 58000 miles, the originals would have long worn out. No way all those repro stickers on the windows could be original either at 58k. I'd buy a set of repro wheels and new tires to put on it and drive it occasionally whilst he is still fit and healthy enough to drive, keep those knackered date coded tires for the equally obsessed concours judges 🤣🤣

      @@acts2211 it's all about the money, there's 2 types of wealthy collector, the guy that drives all of his cars ( sparingly ) and the guy that buys them purely for investment ( which he'll deny until he's blue in the face lol ). The cars never get started or driven which for me is a travesty of justice, but I guess one day the guy drops dead and the cars get auctioned off, either to be bought by another investor or if lucky a wealthy guy that will drive them occasionally.
