That is the whole reason why I’m watching this whole thing just to listen to him enlighten these gentlemen about all the little things about the vehicle
Bob never ceases to amaze. "This screw is for the ashtray lighting harness, except on convertibles" "these caps were only made on Tuesdays for regular 69s, but this is one of 3 made on a Monday." I there anyway to download his knowledge onto a hard drive?
Elon Musk is working on a way to download that kind of knowledge onto a hard drive. I read somewhere that Bob Perkins was next on the list after Elon. 😃😁
Most restoration shops only know how to do complete cars. A good collision tech can match colors and blend to buy years or decades before needing to restore that Boss.
I'm a Retired Catapiller Heavy Equipment Mechanic. Old Mechanic like me, are a dying breed. I work on all these cars. Today mechanics would be lost on carburetor and points. Guys like Bob the same thing. I remember working on a used car lot at 12 years old. Washing cars, driving them. Almost every muscle cars I drove them. So happy I grew up in the 60s 70s. What a different world. God bless
Not unlike myself ( an ancient FE guy), we are all looking father time in the eyes. I hope to heck that somewhere a young Ford guru is able to step up when needed and perform like Bob does when it's time. Ditto for the Shelby guru. GIANT shoes to fill for sure. The future of these important masterpieces need and deserve the same respect later that you guys bestow up on them currently. Great great stuff guys.
People said the same thing about Ford Model T's and Model A's, but in time those were forgotten. Young men today will know all about electric cars, self driving cars and will have little knowledge of 1960's and 70's internal combustion engines. That's just the way of the world. I owned a 70 Mach I, a 73 Mach I and thought they were wonderful, but only because I was in my 20's. A guy in his 20's now is probably driving a 3 or 4 year old Tesla and is excited about how much faster they are than those old gas engines.
Bob mentioned the Lima Engine Numbers in this video. In this video (ua-cam.com/video/nhgHX-md1HE/v-deo.html) he gives new information on matching Boss 429 engine numbers.
Being a Ford hoarder and still having 14 1879/71 Torino's and 5 Montego/Cyclones and a barn full of 43 year's worth of parts, I would love to see Bob discover all of the treasures that are hiding in there, but it would take YEARS to go through all of my stuff as you can't even walk in the barn!
sounds like a challenge, but you don't have Boss 429 parts? SCJ or other stuff too? I guess we could turn him loose and see what he could find. Are you game for this?
Sweet '69. I'm a fan of '67 and the '70, never was a huge fan of the '69 unless it was a Boss 429. Mr. Bob, no one could ever describe this man in a proper sense of his knowledge. I guess the best is the story I heard on this channel before. Bob was critiquing a car at an auto show and the owner said to someone, "who does that guy think he is, Bob Perkins?" The guy didn't know Bob, but he knew what Mr. Bob was.
Our high school auto shop which is in the Detroit suburbs had a 1969 GT500 Gulfstream Aqua donated by Ford Motor in the early 70s. We had a two bay shop two deep and the GT500 sat up front in the corner, its deck lid always got used as a work bench working on the car behind it. The teacher only let the carb get taken off then back on a few times, only heard it start once but never driven and it had about 1500 miles. Always wondered what happened to that car as it had no title from Ford, maybe it's still there or parted out many years ago.
@@thewriter2549 The car was Gulfstream Aqua, dont remember what options it had. I think when these cars were donated they removed the VIN, no title. It had to be between 1972-74 when the school got it, not sure what Ford had been doing with it since it was built
WOW, FUNNY THING HE MENTIONING THAT HE BOUGHT IT IN 1974. MY MOM BOUGHT HER FIRST 1970 BOSS 302 IN 74. I WAS 12 AT THE TIME AND BEING A TALL KID & ALREADY DRIVING SINCE 7 SHE LET ME DRIVE IT FAIRLY OFTEN. SHE TRADED IT OFF TO HER FRIEND ON A 72 4X4 SCOUT. SOLD THE SCOUT AND MADE 600 ON THE ENTIRE DEAL. THEN SHE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER 70 BOSS 302. THE FIRST BOSS WAS REALLY NICE AND LOADED, BUT THE SECOND BOSS WAS A STRIPPED NO OPTION MODEL. BUT THE CAR WAS PROFESSIONALLY BUILT AT THE PIT STOP IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ. IN THE MID 70'S. GOD IT WAS A BEAST. IT TOTALLY ANNIHILATED THE FIRST BOSS!. BUT HER FRIEND THAT WOUND UP WITH THE FIRST BOSS MUSTANG BLEW IT UP WHILE HE AND HIS BUDDIES WERE DRUNK AND RACING THE HELL OUT OF IT. WE FOUND IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OFF OF GLENDALE AVE AND DYSART ROAD A COUPLE MILES EAST OF LUKE AFB. HE SAW US PULL UP ON IT FROM HANKS BAR AROUND THE CORNER. MY MOM AND HER FRIEND WHO WAS A PREVIOUS OWNER OF A 69 BOSS CHEWED HIM OUT FOR BLOWING IT UP. HIS MECHANIC FRIEND OVER A SEVERAL MONTHS PERIOD REBUILT IT FOR HIM, AND BUILT IT UP QUITE NICE AND HEALTHY, AS HE BROUGHT IT TO US TO DRIVE FOR APPROVAL !. IT WAS QUITE STRONG !
Imagine this guy sharing so freely a Lifetime of knowledge and experience He must be one in a million I truly hope you Guyz appreciate what he holds and shares, immensely You cannot replicate that EVER ⁉️😳‼️ This is just super GREAT🥂 Touché❗️ 👊🔥 🪖
Wow Jerry I didn't know bob is from Wisconsin, so am I. Approximately what area is he from? I grew up in kenosha. Back in 1987 I bought a 1973 mustang grande for $100 ,It was all rusted out in the trunk including the rear frame rails. Being only 17 at the time and only earning $1.50 an hr I had to be very frugal in my so called restoration. I made my own frame rails out of angle iron welding them together to make a square tube and then welding them on to the car.I made a new trunk floor from a big hunk of stainless steel I got free from a friend. It took me two years to get that car drivable & everyone said I was insane for even trying and would probably kill myself driving it. I got it done and even repainted it Jet black. It was an awesome car & I drove it for 3yrs with no problems. I even turned alot of heads and got all kind of compliments. Nobody really new how rigged together it was and how many gallons of bondo it had !I really think Bob would have had a stroke if I would have ran into him back in those days if he saw my so called restoration 😂. Good times though. Thanks so much for your journalism. I really enjoy watching. You are a true classic yourself. God bless you and everyone you love .
I really hope this car doesn't get "restored" to completely factory original. The slight modifications done like the scatter shield is for SAFETY WHILE DOING WHAT THE CAR WAS MEANT TO DO!!!! These cars should be enjoyed as they were designed to do, not collect dust in a garage after being "restored".
I love these videos. I bought a 1969 Shelby Gt 350 black jade 4 speed survivor that I enjoy very much. Would love to have Bob examin it. Not that I am obsessed with orginality but still fun to know waht you have.
Besides the obvious loss, and nerve and patience wound, from a virtually uncontrollable theft, the seller was an awesome protector for such an awesome piece of machinery. One would not be wrong to presume the selling price for that treasure is well beyond half of 100k, if not closer to. Great used car sale documentary!
Resto mod it unless numbers matching and at minimum unplug the motor for more hp put in senna seats and carbon driveshaft and carbon wheels and carbon ceramic brakes and also a sequential gearbox
@Jerry Heasley, I remember in around 1990, Mustang Monthly ran an April Fools joke that a barn was found loaded with 1964 1/2 Mustangs, and they sat forgotten. I remember this as this article went viral. Could you do a video on this topic as we approach April 1st?
Bob is a Boss savant. If I were fortunate to have a car like that I would address the rust and clean all the parts and then drive it. Numbers matching so what a lot of cars back then were driven hard and, in some cases, too much and parts needed to be replaced those original tires were long gone with a couple of years and if it has the originals, they not road worthy. Enjoy your project whatever you do with it..... but drive it.
*Jerry!* All the jaw-dropping pricing and rarity aside, another pedigreed car is going to a good home and that's all that really matters - besides the *story* , of course! 🙂 By the way, how's *your* project coming along, my friend? Hope all are well there, see you next time, - Ed on the Ridge
I don't know who we would go to for Mustang information when Bob gets too old. I really don't think there is anyone that comes close to Bob's huge Mustang encyclopedia brain. The man is simply a one off.
Rust is present IN the steel before it is present ON the steel. That trunk floor extension under and behind the battery tray Is rusted and not just "surface rusted".
They should try to swap in a set of headers and a modern cam (with the least amount of spread between the advertised duration and SAE duration) to fully unleash this car full hp and torque and mpg.
I don’t think I’ve seen Bob Perkins since he lived just off the interstate by upper Nemahbin Lake and had a carpeted garage floor that was supposed to be part of his house not a garage sometime in the late 70s.
With all these comments I wonder if any one knows where a '69 BOSS 429 ,Black Jade, Sold it to a guy that flew up from Portland, OR. 1984. Thank you for your time! Johnnymach FW, WA
Hey Jerry! There were 2 adverts right at the very end of this video! I let them run through! Does it affect your algo (monetisation side of things) if I end the video (without watching the advertisements)? Just a heads up! These treacherous f#@ks are always trying it on with content like this! 👍🇦🇺
Yes, payment is based on how many advertisements that people watch and click on. More views means more chances that ads will be watched or clicked on. When people immediately click away an ad then payment is zero. This is why I've been considering a subscription model ($4.99 per month) for the Shelby restoration tech series. Expenses far exceed payment for those and I was spending over 100 hours on the editing per video. Those things are complicated. That's why I had to stop those, at least for a while. I am going to try to do another one this next week because people keep asking for them. Would many of them subscribe? I don't know. Thanks for taking an interest.
@@thewriter2549 All good! Either way, great video (as always). As on commentary said that it never ceases to amaze him on Bobs knowledge! He is absolutely incredible! 👍🇦🇺
Well young man do what you know is best its a kind homage to the gentleman who informed you of what he would have done now I hope isnt the previous owner who neglected this however it is 53 years old but at a certain point whomever owned it previously fell down and couldnt get back up to put it mildly so trying to assuage ones guilt is at these prices is laughable
I really want to know if that is the original motor. Seems like it sure might be seeing as how he found it so close to where he lived. Kinda surprised nobody ever verified the numbers
Depends on if it was his or someone else's. He spends OPM way better than his. And if it was Bob's he would "discover" something super "rare" about the car and even the "documentation" to prove it. Eventually.
I would respectfully disagree. The body needs repainted, the original Boss 429 engine anre rear end are gone, so the car needs a restoration. What would we be preserving?
Not unlike myself ( an ancient FE guy), we are all looking father time in the eyes.

I could watch Bob dissect cars like this and go through parts bins all day.
That is the whole reason why I’m watching this whole thing just to listen to him enlighten these gentlemen about all the little things about the vehicle

Bob is" THE " walking encyclopedia on Mustangs.
And the nicest guy in the business
Dave offered me that boss9 in a trade for my 69 shelby, at iola ‘85
I'd never repaint a car that nice. Fix the corrosion and blend it in. The day 2 stuff is awesome as well
Most restoration shops only know how to do complete cars. A good collision tech can match colors and blend to buy years or decades before needing to restore that Boss.

Bob Perkins for President! If I see Jerry Heasley or Bob Perkins I click I watch and I learn!
🤣😂🤣👍
Bob is the Wikipedia of mustangs
Neat guy too
GREAT VIDEO. ALways enjoy watching Mr. Perkins.
Great video Jerry! Would Love to see the progress on this one if you can squeeze in restoration updates.
Bobs knowledge ist outer space
We always like hearing Bob talk Boss....👍
Wow❤ Bob thanks for sharing this with us sir

I had a 67 289 in 72 when I was 16. My 1st car. We never knew that much about these cars at the time. We just drove like a regular car.
Great content as always!!!!
Would love to see an update on this one although it may be a while, I'm here for it.
Nice to see a Boss thats not a trailer queen
Bob is the Yoda of the Mustang world leading Mustang owners to the Force of number matching correct Mustangs.
You know, I think yo're right. Yoda, I like that.,

Tune it.Detail it. Take it out cruising. Grin ‘tll your face falls off. Tuck it in. Go to bed with a smile on your face. Shalom 😎
Thats the guy (same car) who wanted to trade me even up for my shelby at iola 85 (almost traded)
Trade the black Boss 429? What model year and condition was your Shelby?@@guysumpthin2974
@guysumpthin2974 you should have traded

Learns constantly, flexes his memory,and is always good to people
That last little bit there was funny!!!
The dude who owned it since '75 is a cool cat.
Yeah, now this is the Mustang I would want with that boss 429 yeah 👍👍❤️😎
Imagine this guy sharing so freely a Lifetime of knowledge and experience
He must be one in a million
I truly hope you Guyz appreciate what he holds and shares, immensely
You cannot replicate that EVER ⁉️😳‼️
This is just super GREAT🥂

Fun to watch.

Hey thanks, my friend.
learnt so much many thanks
429 boss is a motor on its own I had a 429 thunderjet 4v was a power house have a 560bbf now all monster motor
Get rid of those yellow plug wires
I have my first car, 69 T-Bird 429 police special, Chilton manual had it listed 370 hp. Is this correct for I guess 69 mustang?
Resto mod it unless numbers matching and at minimum unplug the motor for more hp put in senna seats and carbon driveshaft and carbon wheels and carbon ceramic brakes and also a sequential gearbox
Bob Perkins is not "an expert." He is "The Expert."
This car reminds me of the one from “Peterson Restorations” has on his UA-cam channel
Incredible.
What was I wasting $800 on 40 years ago!?
Funny, I forgot to ask him if he got flack from his family over buying the car.,
Great video Jerry. How is your Shelby coming along? Any videos coming soon.
Should drop Part 5 in a few weeks. The Shelby? Finished last summer. I filmed it all.
@@thewriter2549 Oh great I am so happy for you. I look forward to seeing all the videos
F@@thewriter2549ASIDE FROM MY SUPER SNAKES LOL IN MY OPINION THE BOSS 429 IS THE BADDEST MUSCLE CAR EVER
Blows my mind how the new owner could spend the money (most likely an exorbitant amount) and legit know nothing about boss9’s!
More money than sense!
@Jerry Heasley, I remember in around 1990, Mustang Monthly ran an April Fools joke that a barn was found loaded with 1964 1/2 Mustangs, and they sat forgotten. I remember this as this article went viral. Could you do a video on this topic as we approach April 1st?

Looks like Bruce is gonna have quite an affair with this car. Good onya man
Rust is present IN the steel before it is present ON the steel. That trunk floor extension under and behind the battery tray Is rusted and not just "surface rusted".
thats going to be an incredible car when restored/preserved. i bet he spent close to 100k for a car that complete and relatively unmolested.
If i could own it I would drive it daily.
They should try to swap in a set of headers and a modern cam (with the least amount of spread between the advertised duration and SAE duration) to fully unleash this car full hp and torque and mpg.
I drove a 1969 1/2 428 Super Cobra Jet when I was 15 or 16 - Damn ! I was too scared to go to fourth ....i had a 1969 Datsun truck at the time .
You knew it was a half year model? Was this in 1969?
The owner always called it a 69 & a 1/2 - It was in 1973 my junior year in H.S. He was the Asst. Mgr of Hardees where I worked.@@thewriter2549
What Would Bob Perkins Do With This 1969 Boss 429 Mustang? Sell it to someone for double what he paid for it.
I don’t think I’ve seen Bob Perkins since he lived just off the interstate by upper Nemahbin Lake and had a carpeted garage floor that was supposed to be part of his house not a garage sometime in the late 70s.
True and many think he was some kind of trust fund baby. 👍 (Mrs.P)
With all these comments
I wonder if any one knows where a '69
BOSS 429 ,Black Jade,
Sold it to a guy that flew up from Portland, OR. 1984.
Thank you for your time!

Amazing
What amazes me is this man found this car for $900😅😅
Bob Perkins an expert? That's highly debatable.
It's better not to open your mouth and show everybody how ignorant you are about Bob Perkins. 🤨
😂
@@bentnickel7487 Your ignorance is obvious.
is that the bob perkins that lived in Mukwonago wi in the 80s?
Leave it and DRIVE IT.
I really want to know if that is the original motor. Seems like it sure might be seeing as how he found it so close to where he lived. Kinda surprised nobody ever verified the numbers
I plan to do a whole matching numbers video on Boss 429s. This should throw shock waves throughout the Boss 429 community.
Old men and old cars
Depends on if it was his or someone else's. He spends OPM way better than his. And if it was Bob's he would "discover" something super "rare" about the car and even the "documentation" to prove it. Eventually.
You don't restore a car like this you just preserve it
I would respectfully disagree. The body needs repainted, the original Boss 429 engine anre rear end are gone, so the car needs a restoration. What would we be preserving?
Is there a more Holy Grail Ford?
You can part that car out and be a millionaire twice
The car mostly undrivable mostly a garage kept show car three of these I been around never get driven
🥝✔️
They cant remember anniverseries
DO NOT PAINT! ARE YOU INSANE?
Bob recommended a repaint. There comes a point where a repaint is necessary.
I recommend keeping it factory. It's only factory once. But alas, I'm not the boss ;) @@thewriter2549
Spend more time under hoods and not in the gym.
Not unlike myself ( an ancient FE guy), we are all looking father time in the eyes.
