I bought a 69 Mach 1 from a buddy in 1994 , he had it through HS and was the same paint scheme as the blue bodied Platt cars ,He mentioned he bought it as a previous drag car . I replaced over the next 3 years both floor pans , trunk pans and the back tail light panel . I saved the body from being further eatened away , the one feature it had was welded heavy motor supports for big block motors . That original motor was replaced long ago , it was sporting a 302 with robust cam and lively duration . Loved this episode , brought me back
I've noticed that Chevy people often like Boss 429s, which has ties to GM. Bunkie Knudsen, president of Ford at the time came from Pontiac. He liked big cubic inch engines in smaller cars and with help from his friend Larry Shinoda created the Boss series Mustangs.
Many blue oval choices from SVT Cobra R new edge, GT350R, GT500 CFTP and ex Ford Racing Cobra Jet factory drag cars from the last 20 years. Don’t lament, history is still being made and within reach of mortals.
In the early 70's when I was mid 20's I carried a chevy 305 block down a flight of stairs to work on it in mom's basement. Before installing pistons, rods etc I carried it back up.
Thanks for mentioning that because I will talk to him next weekend when we they pull the engine out. I'll be taking video and post it as soon as possible.
Now why wouldn’t the seller say what the car cost back in the 70’s? My 1968 Roadrunner cost $2900 new. A Shelby Cobra cost $5500. Some very cool muscle cars were in the $4000 to $6000 range.
I love the old mustangs my first car was a 66 mustang with a bad 6 cylinder engine that was locked up in bought when I was 14 great cars easy to fix and get parts
There's still a lot of old guys that have bigger hopes than time.....or pocketbook. They save up parts and cars wanting to eventually build a car or restore a car that they had when it was once running. So they languish in obscurity until someone comes along and opens the figurative/literal barn door. This is not a criticism of these guys. Dreams are a great thing to have. But dreams sometimes outlast reason or life expectancy.
Thanks, I have a passion for this -one flight last May to California, a second flight to California in July, and 3 weeks editing hours of video. I just wish more people would call and me the chance to go on more of these great American car finds, and I could get a TV show with a budget so I wouldn't have to do all the filming, voice over's, and especially the editing.
When we were younger we knew a guy. Who could go ahead and lift an entire 350 engine assembled as long as it didn't have any of the fluids in it. He was the super strong country boy that just could not fail at almost anything physically he wanted to do.
It has one purpose now - to win competitions. And it's an investment, not a car. It's not meant to be driven at this point. Owner can do whatever he likes with it, there's nothing sad about it.
You're correct. It's a rich mans game now and these will fall out of favor as prices will soar higher and true enthusiast will be left in the dust, the cars will sit and be hoarded in some dark dingy building.
@@Wooley689you can always build a nice old car as a daily driver for yourself. Just don’t sink a lot of money in it if you are going to drive it a lot!
@@Wooley689 True, and the sad part of 'Collectors' cars, of which many of us that had them in our youth, can now not afford to buy one to take our wives out on a date with any more.
Totally agree. I bought my dream car a 69 Shelby GT 350 2 years ago. 2 owner survivor low milage, like new. I drive it at least 2-3 times a week in summer. Just love driving it and chat with people. How can people enjoy a car parked away with a cover on it?
Jerry, killing it as always. Been awhile since I've stopped by your channel and once again you don't disappoint a guy!! I love seeing what you and Bob get into together. Saying hello from Vancouver Island BC Canada Sir and I'll be watching for the updates on this one most definitely. Love what you do Jerry have yourself a great rest of the weekend and hope to see ya again soon!! 👍🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸💯🙏👋😎
Thanks, my goal is to put out a product better than the car shows on TV. Once, one of the owners of one of the car channels asked me, "So, what do you need you for?"
Shame I’d like to see it polished up as is burns and all and kept original as is then stripped , the car has character and tells a story, it’ll get over restored and loose it’s soul
Wow, what a treasure. Ford parts guys have some of the coolest stuff. As hard as it would be to let the car go, I hope he can find comfort, in it going to a great home.
Great story, thanks Jerry for your efforts in this. My only wish would have been to hear more from the seller. I think there is a lot of history still to be unearthed in that sharp mind.
Love those old ‘69 and ‘70 Boss’! This one is really unique. What a history! She’s beautiful. Good find and video. Lucky dogs!👍😁 I know you’ll pretty her up again. She deserves it. Rock on.👍🇺🇸❤️
You don't have to wait, you can simply Google Image search. It's gonna get over-restored and look exactly like every other red Boss 429 on the planet. And it will look like that forever, because it will never be driven again.
I would literally give a left one for one of these cars... wow.. great video.. I'm saving up.. got 5,500$ so far. 😊 wish me luck. And it WILL be my daily driver... ❤
Hi, I actually know where one of these Ford race team cars are. I'm in Michigan. The car used to be blue has no VIN number. The story I got from his son is that is that his dad painted it red? It used to be the light blue color has the odd Hood scoop on it and it is for sale. The car is located in White lake in davisburg area in Michigan. Sitting in the backyard on a trailer with a cover. Been a race car. Its whole life
Like the look after the wash, tells a story that you can't redo, I would clear coat the exterior, polished the chrome and recondition all the internals so u have a get in and go driver with a exterior that has a story.
My first car was a 1966 Mustang convertible black with red interior. For my 16th BIRTHDAY. I was born 3/25/1966.. It was garage kept its entire life by a guy in NEW JERSEY. He used it to go to church when it was only a nice day. It had less than 5000 miles. The only thing that it needed was new head gaskets. It also ate oil faster than gas. I only had it 2yrs and my dad had taken it to my cousin's garage, and then a joy ride afterwards, he said a deer hit him ,ha ha ha.. He bought me a brand new car for wrecking my beautiful mustang. I had many guys try to be my" friends " to get a ride home from school. I refuse everyone. Now I am 57 and I still miss my" baby" my beautiful mustang 😢.....😭😤😫🤬....... The only car I ever actually loved.
I was born May 30, 1966. My first car was a 66 in high school. It was just a 6 banger, but I loved that car. When I was growing up my dad had two 65's and a 67. All were beautiful and sadly all 3 were totalled! I had another very nice 66 that I bought in Florida on 2014. I only had it a year and had to sell it when I got laid off. Had to pay off some bills. I sold it on eBay to a guy in London, England. I still have my 98 GT, but I want another 66 or 69.
I had a 68 fast back. Original 289. I didn't know what i had. I kept it clean. Polished it weekly. If you where not careful it liked to swap ends going around corner's. I was careful. I wasn't a city boy when i was 21. I needed a 4x4. Got to go hunting and cutting firewood. Gas in the early 80s was getting over a 1.00 a gallon. Traded it. I remember buying gas for . 18 cents per gallon when i was 16.
In 82 - 83 timeframe, I had a 70 Chevelle SS that was originally black with white stripes and I ended up painting it yellow with black stripes and also had a black vinyl top installed. I was only 18 at the time. There was a guy several blocks away that had a 70 Boss 302, yellow with black boss stripe, in his driveway that had been sitting on stands for years. I stopped by one day when he was outside and I tried to trade him my Chevelle. He liked my car since it was running, driving and looked really nice. His car needed trans and other odds and ends. He gave me his number and told me to call back in a few days. Well, apparently he talked to his buddies and they told him no way, lol..... I really wanted that Boss Mustang, but it didn't happen. That mustang sat on those stands for several more years and then I moved out and lost track of it. I always wonder what ever happened to it? Good memories.
I adore those old Mustangs. FAR better then Camaros ever were. I lived that era. I had a 1965 GT Fastback, best most fun car I have ever owned to this day.
4K with providence, very special car. It's going to be a driver? Rather put the miles on that trailer queen, cherish this one. One series I'll not miss! Thanks Jerry!
Its nice to see cars be restored after so many years neglected. Its a double edge sword considering the extreme increase in classic car prices today. On one hand it makes it unobtainable for many people, but then again it makes it possible for some people to invest huge dollars in cars that 20 years ago was not considered worth saving. So all in all, its a win for the future preservation.
Awsome history, i just have a question of the fitting of front drum brakes. Was that a factory boss 429 option ? Or is it a Holman moody mod to save weight, I was under the impression that front drums would be heavier than disc's ?
Cool car and amazing history. Concours restorations, trailer queens and refusing to drive a car is simply preservation for the next guy that will drive it! I’ve seen it many times with Hemi cars of the same era and do the same with my A12.
That's not 50 years of grime, that's soot from the fire. Otherwise, before the fire, I'm sure it was just a great garage find that's been sitting. Still an awesome car, but yeah, that's soot caked on that car from the fire damage!
My Brother in Laws 1966 mustang got the heat treatment from a fire. He sold it a few years back along with an old lincoln with suicide doors. That body was in very good shape for a great auction resale project. Along with a 76 Honda 750 full dresser. I was kind of sad when he sold it. I rode that bike a lot 15 or 20 years ago. I would stop out in my car and if we took a ride I took the old Honda and he drove his new Electra Glide Classic. The Honda got attention everywhere we stopped. lol The Harley was oh well, we see those everywhere.
So many Parts, and Hot Rods were Stolen from me throughout my 60 years, i can only watch with Memories! Can’t steal the Knowledge i have, my Dad and i have had this time to sit and Share old Hot Rod Stories, that’s worth all the Money in the World. Who Cares about being the Super Star, that’s for all those who will find out in the end it doesn’t mean nothing!!! They all end up sitting in some unknown Museum that nobody knows!!! We live in a very Selfish World… a very Weird Place in time!!! I had a 68 Nova, 327 Three Speed on the Tree, I embarrassed many Four Speed Hot Rods on the Street!!!
Always amazed me that when I closed my Mustang resto shop for lack of cars that folks would squirrel them away instead of enjoying them. I never treated them like 4:22 they were a piece of jewelry. If I would get a 6 cyl green conv in knowing it would be hard to sell I would convert it to a V8 candy apple white top using parts from junked coupes. Always told the buyers of this they didn’t care. Cars were cheap in the late 70s late 80s 70 Boss 302 needing rust repair and paint $1500 cheapest was 66 GT coupe bench seat with leaf spring shackle rusted normal for Chicago area fixed it in an hour paid $40.
Jerry, as crazy as it sounds, I actually enjoyed watching him wash the car in the latter park of the video. Plus, Bob Perkins made off with a treasure trove of classic parts.
What a amazing find. God how I wish I could have been successful and been able to own stuff like this. I made so many bad decisions and married twice both times being expensive mistakes. I’m 48 now and last two years I’ve been fighting a battle with cancer and as of today I fr like I’m be lucky if I make another week but if god is wiling and he allows me to pull thru this I will do all I can to get my finances straight enough to own something amazing like this. I pray I’m still here to see thr finished product.
Great video..all that knowledge. I'm 76, I want to see the restoration before someone calls me. Go fast. What direction are you going to go with the restoration. I did do a 1969, but it was an F100, slightly different..
I had the opportunity in the summer of 1969 (maybe 1970) to see the Canadian FORD drag team cars at a small local FORD dealer in rural Manitoba who had some serious pull with FORD. I didn't have my camera with me. As I recall, there was a BOSS 429 and at least one other Mustang there. There may have been other cars as well. They were on their way across Canada and stopped at 2 dealerships in Manitoba. I believe the cars were white but I don't recall any special paint scheme. But then I eas focused more on the engine bay. I still remember walking into the service bay and seeing the cars lined up with their hoods open.
Wow, sure wish you had brought you camera! The Ford Drag Racing Team was very special. If anybody took photos of these cars, I'd sure like to see them and perhaps publish them if you agree. Thanks.
Great video Jerry. I wonder how Bob found it - did the owner reach out? I honestly think there are a lot of very special cars hidden in LA and surrounding areas just waiting to be discovered. Maybe we'll see you at MCACN? - Sean and Kennedy Melody
This is fantastic, Correct me if I wrong, but American motors gave the race teams 1970 AMX treatments to place on thier 69 AMX factory SS cars so they could run in the 69 cars in the same class for 70. I do believe that the NHRA found out
I think he did. The original Boss 429 engine was gone when he bought the car. It is a long shot, but the engine could surface because the VIN is stamped on the block. So, be looking for it - 9F02Z181190. It would be worth a pretty penny to whoever finds it.
I say no. That's a for profit show run by a company for money. It's not a traditional car show where proceeds go to a local charity. People need to better support their own local car events and stop feeding corporations that have hi-jacked the bigger car shows.

Yes, it was.

@@gerry-p9xSaid it was going to be media blasted to bare metal before done.
This was just a wannabe wash.
Have you seen Bob Perkins parts ? What this guy has times a hundred, being conservative.
No chit gold mine 😊
Thanks for the fier up to hear that beauty run! LOVE THE GROWL!
Wow! Those exhaust manifolds (headers) are in amazing condition!
Those magic words, Holman & Moody. That company has had my interest for a while, I like to watch anything I can about the work they did
We're still around :)
I'm a Chevy lover...WTF am I even doing here?!?!
Seriously, fascinating video packed with interesting vintage FORD 429 info!
I've noticed that Chevy people often like Boss 429s, which has ties to GM. Bunkie Knudsen, president of Ford at the time came from Pontiac. He liked big cubic inch engines in smaller cars and with help from his friend Larry Shinoda created the Boss series Mustangs.
Unbelievable haul of goods. I appreciate that the old boy actually sold it all off. Most those guys hoard it all until they die.
Amazing, I've seen pictures of this car from back in the day. Never knew it still existed, or that it was originally a '69. Quite a find!
hey if you know where to find these pics hit jerry up and send them to him please. would be a cool follow up to this video
Very nice piece of history and great car!
beautiful car, sadly this has become a million dollar hobby which only a few can enjoy
If you want something beautiful that doesn't leak and you can't use get a die-cast model
@@adamhoffman3687 I have been in the car hobby for almost 50 years, and never built anything I couldn't drive. Was never a show car kind of guy

Many blue oval choices from SVT Cobra R new edge, GT350R, GT500 CFTP and ex Ford Racing Cobra Jet factory drag cars from the last 20 years. Don’t lament, history is still being made and within reach of mortals.
As Jay Leno said, cars were made to be driven.
Fantastic episode, Jerry.
Especially because of the washing routine.
It is wonderful to work with such good car pepple in this video. There is so much here that shows what the hobby is all about.
I'm all MOPAR....but I can CERTAINLY appreciate this beautiful car....
In the early 70's when I was mid 20's I carried a chevy 305 block down a flight of stairs to work on it in mom's basement. Before installing pistons, rods etc I carried it back up.
loved it good stuff i lived at those drag strip in the 60th and 70ths so cal baby
and you got photos of this Boss 429 Foulger Ford drag racing?
Thanks for sharing this, Jerry. Love the history and the story. I hope Steve will leave that license plate area original as you mentioned.
Thanks for mentioning that because I will talk to him next weekend when we they pull the engine out. I'll be taking video and post it as soon as possible.
Great vid,and I take my hat off to the guy who sold it on, he saw it needed a caretaker, it will be fascinating to see it back in it's glory👍.
I'm scheduled to video Bob Perkins pulling the engine next month.
@thewriter2549 great can't wait to see it👍
Now why wouldn’t the seller say what the car cost back in the 70’s? My 1968 Roadrunner cost $2900 new. A Shelby Cobra cost $5500. Some very cool muscle cars were in the $4000 to $6000 range.

I know of a yellow 70 mach 1 4 gear 351 Cleveland shaker hood window slats black stripes and factory hood locks in a Quonset hut for 45 years
I enjoy these videos so much. Especially when they talk about the history of Mustangs, because that's always been my favorite car.
Me too, man!

Sad to hear the red car isn't driven. It's not a car anymore if it's capable of running and driving but gets pushed by hand everywhere.
It has one purpose now - to win competitions. And it's an investment, not a car. It's not meant to be driven at this point. Owner can do whatever he likes with it, there's nothing sad about it.
You're correct. It's a rich mans game now and these will fall out of favor as prices will soar higher and true enthusiast will be left in the dust, the cars will sit and be hoarded in some dark dingy building.

Original keys noted! They have round holes. The replacements had slotted holes. (I have my originals - 67 FB GTA, A code). Bak native here too...
I'd love to have the Cyclone... looks like the one I had in the 1980's.
Great story, thanks Jerry for your efforts in this. My only wish would have been to hear more from the seller. I think there is a lot of history still to be unearthed in that sharp mind.

Hey Jerry, good to see you after a while and Bob sharing his knowledge is always a treat!
Thanks Matt
👍👍👌👌 Thanks for the video!
Thank you Jerry for another great video of these awesome Fords!
i had a 428 R code engine in my bedroom when i was 22 years old .. 48 years ago ..
I just watched a man on this channel build an entire 1967 mustang from a box kit full of brand new parts 1194video
These videos are priceless Jerry
Marti report and Emminger invoices are the best begining of documentation. People memories can get foggy
I can’t wait to see what this car gonna look like at the end,.. I’m thankful to the owner, for letting it go!
Hopefully they restore it to the race livery and not the boring, stock red original.
You don't have to wait, you can simply Google Image search.
It's gonna get over-restored and look exactly like every other red Boss 429 on the planet. And it will look like that forever, because it will never be driven again.
Pretty sure they said it would be restored back to original, as it should be. These cars are too rare and too valuable to be dressed up as race cars…
I would literally give a left one for one of these cars... wow.. great video.. I'm saving up.. got 5,500$ so far. 😊 wish me luck. And it WILL be my daily driver... ❤
Hi, I actually know where one of these Ford race team cars are. I'm in Michigan. The car used to be blue has no VIN number. The story I got from his son is that is that his dad painted it red?

Super Clean sprayed on concentrated works really good.
Like the look after the wash, tells a story that you can't redo, I would clear coat the exterior, polished the chrome and recondition all the internals so u have a get in and go driver with a exterior that has a story.
I see what you mean, but the story of losing the original engine? I'd rather see the original engine be found and put back in the car.
WOW! Took the 429 right off of it! AMMO NYC makes the right products to not wreck the paint.
Yeah I cringed when he took the SCRUBBIE to the paint best procedure was ammo stuff and a Mr clean magic. Eraser then a light buf.....yikes
Who GAF about the paint. It's going to all be blasted off anyway.
Love that blue stripe 🐴 power 😊 open an old garage and find that gem. Id have a stroke 😊

Has shadowings of an Arnie Cunningham story. It is easy to fall in love with the right car. I understand you completely!

Next time save your fancy foam and use Comet Cleanser. I’ve used on a few doing the same thing and takes off so much more.

If yours was an 1970 Chevelle SS 454 it would be worth more today than the Boss 302.

try picking up a hemi with the pistons and crank in it ! i still do and im not far behind you guys . i got a yenko nova in the 80s for 1800.00 !
Buddy; when washing use a buff drill set up with wash chamois adapter… save you hours
Cool car & history. I enjoyed watching the parts piling up.
We called that "Armstrong Steering" when we were young. Great car(s) and excellent video!
Cool, thanks
I hope this is where I can follow this process!!!
Love it !!! Sad, but COOL story !!! May it raise from the ashes to run again !!
Its nice to see cars be restored after so many years neglected. Its a double edge sword considering the extreme increase in classic car prices today.

What a car !
Hope it's restored to its racing 70 look, super rare car .
oh man that Cyclone!!! DAYUM!!
Awsome history, i just have a question of the fitting of front drum brakes. Was that a factory boss 429 option ? Or is it a Holman moody mod to save weight, I was under the impression that front drums would be heavier than disc's ?
Disc brakes are heavier, so Holman-Moody swapped them for drums to save weight for drag racing.
Cool car and amazing history.
Concours restorations, trailer queens and refusing to drive a car is simply preservation for the next guy that will drive it!
I’ve seen it many times with Hemi cars of the same era and do the same with my A12.
That's not 50 years of grime, that's soot from the fire. Otherwise, before the fire, I'm sure it was just a great garage find that's been sitting. Still an awesome car, but yeah, that's soot caked on that car from the fire damage!
you saw in the video the 2 old photos that were about the time Dale got the car?
Interesting that it had nitrous as far back as the early 70's on it! 😮
@EarlJames-q3c yeah, but hard to find info on vehicle applications back in the 70's.
My 1968.5 Cobra Jet was sold at Foulger Ford. So cool.
Do you still own it?
@@thewriter2549 Yes I still own it.
God bless the gentleman selling 🙏... All of you , I love watching these videos and can only dream of being a part of all this you ❤️ guys do
I’m so looking forward to this restoration
My Brother in Laws 1966 mustang got the heat treatment from a fire. He sold it a few years back along with an old lincoln with suicide doors. That body was in very good shape for a great auction resale project. Along with a 76 Honda 750 full dresser. I was kind of sad when he sold it. I rode that bike a lot 15 or 20 years ago. I would stop out in my car and if we took a ride I took the old Honda and he drove his new Electra Glide Classic. The Honda got attention everywhere we stopped. lol The Harley was oh well, we see those everywhere.
So many Parts, and Hot Rods were Stolen from me throughout my 60 years, i can only watch with Memories!
Can’t steal the Knowledge i have, my Dad and i have had this time to sit and Share old Hot Rod Stories, that’s worth all the Money in the World.
Who Cares about being the Super Star, that’s for all those who will find out in the end it doesn’t mean nothing!!!
They all end up sitting in some unknown Museum that nobody knows!!!
We live in a very Selfish World… a very Weird Place in time!!!
I had a 68 Nova, 327 Three Speed on the Tree, I embarrassed many Four Speed Hot Rods on the Street!!!
I remember Irwindale as a kid, bought my Shelby GY 350 after the Army in 1970
The Ford Drag Team, featuring Hubert Platt, Ed Terry, and more raced at Irwindale. Do you remember them? If so, did you take any photos?
Dang Jerry, you need to let me tag along one these finds. lol
Always amazed me that when I closed my Mustang resto shop for lack of cars that folks would squirrel them away instead of enjoying them. I never treated them like 4:22 they were a piece of jewelry. If I would get a 6 cyl green conv in knowing it would be hard to sell I would convert it to a V8 candy apple white top using parts from junked coupes. Always told the buyers of this they didn’t care. Cars were cheap in the late 70s late 80s
70 Boss 302 needing rust repair and paint $1500 cheapest was 66 GT coupe bench seat with leaf spring shackle rusted normal for Chicago area fixed it in an hour paid $40.
Jerry, as crazy as it sounds, I actually enjoyed watching him wash the car in the latter park of the video. Plus, Bob Perkins made off with a treasure trove of classic parts.
heart breaks....but it's gonna be a beauty....good luck and atleast it will be driven...
Yes, it will.
What a amazing find. God how I wish I could have been successful and been able to own stuff like this. I made so many bad decisions and married twice both times being expensive mistakes. I’m 48 now and last two years I’ve been fighting a battle with cancer and as of today I fr like I’m be lucky if I make another week but if god is wiling and he allows me to pull thru this I will do all I can to get my finances straight enough to own something amazing like this. I pray I’m still here to see thr finished product.
I'll work harder to get this done if you will do the same to see the upcoming videos. Okay?
When you pay the doctor,
He'll buy a classic car.
Looks like a solid candidate for restoration.
Great video..all that knowledge. I'm 76, I want to see the restoration before someone calls me. Go fast. What direction are you going to go with the restoration. I did do a 1969, but it was an F100, slightly different..
I had the opportunity in the summer of 1969 (maybe 1970) to see the Canadian FORD drag team cars at a small local FORD dealer in rural Manitoba who had some serious pull with FORD. I didn't have my camera with me. As I recall, there was a BOSS 429 and at least one other Mustang there. There may have been other cars as well. They were on their way across Canada and stopped at 2 dealerships in Manitoba. I believe the cars were white but I don't recall any special paint scheme. But then I eas focused more on the engine bay.
I still remember walking into the service bay and seeing the cars lined up with their hoods open.
Wow, sure wish you had brought you camera! The Ford Drag Racing Team was very special. If anybody took photos of these cars, I'd sure like to see them and perhaps publish them if you agree. Thanks.
Nice ride...💪✌️
Great video Jerry. I wonder how Bob found it - did the owner reach out? I honestly think there are a lot of very special cars hidden in LA and surrounding areas just waiting to be discovered. Maybe we'll see you at MCACN? - Sean and Kennedy Melody
The owner called Bob. MCACN, Bob is bringing a Mustang to show.
The NHRA has to have records from the 1970 winter nationals. He has a ticket for participant 106. Who was participant 106 in the official records?
Good idea, I'll check into that, thanks.
This is fantastic, Correct me if I wrong, but American motors gave the race teams 1970 AMX treatments to place on thier 69 AMX factory SS cars so they could run in the 69 cars in the same class for 70. I do believe that the NHRA found out
what's the violation with that?
What a gentleman,I’d rather not say ..awesome
Very cool car Jerry. Did he say what happened to the original engine?
I think he did. The original Boss 429 engine was gone when he bought the car. It is a long shot, but the engine could surface because the VIN is stamped on the block. So, be looking for it - 9F02Z181190. It would be worth a pretty penny to whoever finds it.
This needs to be in the MCACN barn finds before being restored…
I say no. That's a for profit show run by a company for money. It's not a traditional car show where proceeds go to a local charity. People need to better support their own local car events and stop feeding corporations that have hi-jacked the bigger car shows.
What happened to the Boss 429? Blow up or not sold with car or?
Jerry's Mustang videos are awesome.
That garage and building was full of NOS stuff! I wonder what all of it was purchased for and then it's resale value.
I understand the love of these cars! I wish I could find one one day! I really loved the Cyclone in the driveway! I wonder if it's a Big Block car?
Cyclone is a 429, but not a Cobra Jet. Steve bought it.
@thewriter2549 Ahh ok 👍! It's in good hands.
these old Boss Drag cars are so much more captivating than the trailer queens.
Great car! But why did they stop before the car was even fully washed? It's like the video was cut off before it was over.
Jerry, in your opinion, what are the hp ratings on a 427 side oiler from 1966 and a 1969 Boss 429 engine?
