1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 - Jay Leno's Garage

My Dad has a 69 Boss 429 he bought Brand New upon returning from Vietnam. 370 hp is laughable. They were easily a 430-450 hp car and a carb , cam and distributor advance recurve puts the Boss 429 easily over the 500 hp mark. A simple cam change makes the Boss 429 a monster . Woke up is a understatement !

I owned '70 BOSS 429 when I was nineteen. It was Pastel Blue, one of just eighteen finished in that color. Only changes I made were to install headers, an 850 Holley double pumper, disabled the smog pump and thermactor system and disconnect the rev limiter. Completely changed the performance. Biggest regret of my life was selling it.

That Dolly Parton doing gymnastics analogy was a little better. Anyone who has driven a big block V8 powered '60s car can appreciate that one. My own experience was with my '69 Corvette 427 coupe. It was the L36 single four barrel version with cast iron heads and it had the F41 handling package. I bought it when it had 69K miles on it in 2003, but handling was a complete joke. I think my '00 Camaro Z28 would have easily outhandled it.

[@IndyFlick]

I was kid in 1969. That year my mom wanted a new Mustang. I went with my dad to the Ford dealerships on the weekends to test drive what they had. I remember riding in new Mach 1's but not a Boss 429 that I can recall. My dad really wanted a 4-speed and my mom wanted an automatic. We, of course, got an automatic. There's one thing I bet they can't replicate when they restore one nowadays - the new car smell of a 1969 Mustang. It was unbelievable. I've never smelled it since. I've been told the smell was actually adhesives. Regardless, man did they smell good. My dad ended up buying a 1969 Mustang 302 Grande automatic. I remember it was $3,200. It had the same interior as that Boss 429 (including that fake vinyl wood trim). The horn on the inside of the steering wheel was kind of a gimmick. Ours used to stick and go off on its own in the summer when the interior would heat up. It would actually run the battery down. Random people used to pop the hood of our Mustang and disconnect the battery to turn the horn off. Then they would leave a note under the wipers. This happened several times. My dad ended up disconnecting the horn with a pair of wire cutters.

[@jackallen6261]

I had a 71 T Bird with the same horn setup. pretty weird, lol.

I'm a die-hard Ford guy, but you can't deny the impact mopar and the Hemi had on Nascar, on Ford and the muscle car market If I had the money, there would be a 69 Coronet and a 70 Sport Fury between my Fords. And a 70 Buick GSX, but thats another story :D

[@johnp1277]

I went to a car show in Ventura California back in the mid 1980's, and a top executive from Ford pulled up with an enclosed trailer , and had one of these Boss 429's inside....he backed it down the ramp, parked it...and I went up to look how many miles it had on it...356 miles. That car is likely worth 500,000 today.

He checked out a white Boss 429 Mustang that he really wanted. His girl wanted to travel the US and wanted a new customized van. The girl won out. To this day I tease him about it.

If you remember "boss" was a teenage slang expression for something really cool in those days, but Larry Shinoda, the father of the Boss 302 and Boss 429 called them that because they were stuck for a name and he'd been given direction from Bunkie Knudsen to come up with these cars, so he named them after his reason for creating them, the boss.

The Mustang isn’t a muscle car, though. It’s a pony car, a class of car named after it, even though it wasn’t the first of that type of car. The Plymouth Barracuda was first, by a couple weeks, but the Mustang was so popular that this new class of car was eventually named in its honor. Now some Mustangs may have muscle car-level power, but that doesn’t make them muscle cars.

my parents bought a brand-new 1968 T-Bird back in the day with the 365 HP version of the 429. What a great engine. In the T-Bird version, it was the velvet brute with torque that wouldn't quit. It literally loafed up steep grades at freeway speeds. Never burned a drop of oil, and a bomb-proof combination with the C-6 3-speed automatic. We loved it.

[@jeremythompson9122]

The street version of that engine was really restricted quite a bit by Ford from the factory. Ford was a pretty conservative manufacturer at that time when it came to putting their high performance engines into street cars when compared to companies like Dodge, Plymouth, and Pontiac. The BOSS 429 came with a tiny 735 cfm carb, a way too mild camshaft, and a really restrictive exhaust system with a smog pump. Radical race ready big blocks don't like little tiny carburetors and restrictive exhausts. Ford should've used the same solid lifter cam that they used in the 429 SCJ in the BOSS 429. The BOSS9 was actually pretty disappointing in stock form...especially since they cost about $5,000 new...really expensive for that time compared to most other muscle cars. The 428 CJ Mustangs had quicker 1/4 mile times then the BOSS 429s did and you could probably get one for $1,200-1,500 cheaper than a BOSS9 depending on what options you ordered with it. The BOSS9's needed a few modifications to compete with top shelf muscle cars like a Hemi Cuda or Challenger, an LS6 Chevelle, or a Buick GSX 455 Stage 1

[@josephtravers777]

@@jeremythompson9122 The Boss 429 had the heads and block for a stout race engine, more so than the CJ or SCJ. Street version was fluff but the potential for power was much greater w/ over-the-counter upgrades from Ford dealers. These would hold up to superchargers, while the 427 SOHC cranks and cross-bolt mains would grenade.

[@goldenltd1970]

The cam was lumpy, the carb too small and the heads were different and not real hemi heads like the racecars had so no more than 420 horses. 428 CJs were faster on the 1/4, but the race version was a beast and far superior to the MoPar Hemi engine.

You don't assume your viewer knows everything you do, but you ask great questions and draw out interesting info from the guest. So much better than when someone who knows nothing interviews an expert--they can't get any detailed information out of it! Or when two experts talk--they leave everyone else in their dust! A wonderful channel!

That front end lift under acceleration...even my 2017 6-spd GT does it. Hard to really state how fun that is.

[@tootsie5052]

There was this guy in my area and he collected Hemis. He would buy any Hemi Mopar car new or used and take out the engine and replace it with a 440 or a 383 and sell it. He also bought a new red Boss 429 Mustang just like this one. It was the only one I ever saw, but it was also the only one I ever rode in. When he shifted gears it felt like the car would fly apart. Love the 69 Mustang!

[@Grenyas]

Gorgeous Mustang. Always nice to see them long before they became crowd hungry.

[@lagaman11]

The sound, OMG, the sound coming from the tailpipes. sweetest music I have ever heard!

[@tolerbearALTII]

The first time I fell in love was with a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback with the 351 Cleveland in it. I've wanted one of those cars ever since. I wish I could afford one. Lol.

[@carllehberger757]

That's not possible, because the 351 Cleveland engine wasn't available until 1970 model year from the factory.

[@grovergrover6895]

Aww,I always liked the Ford Thunderbolt

[@gsu4life]

i love how Jay brings in someone to talk about the car, but starts giving more information then the car owner.

[@carlbridgeforth3651]

Thank you. Jay you got the most awesome life. I just want to say thank you. You so lucky to be who you are. Thanks for helping people who never have a chance to be a car person.

[@williamkraft5574]

Any variant of the '69 Ford Fastback steals my heart

[@bandguy5810]

Absolutely one of my favorite Mustangs, ever. Out of many!

[@mikmaqjij81]

I remember when our friends dad used to take us to dances, the mall, movies in his 89, 5.0L GT. Loved how it sounded, pushed us into the seats. Thinking of getting one and rebuilding one this summer.

[@WaybackTECH]

I am surprised Jay has never driven or owned a Boss 429 before, seems like that would have been right up his ally

[@gregorytimmons4777]

He probably doesn't want a front end heavy, ill handling Mustang with a huge heavy engine stuffed in it that has too big of intake ports for strong low speed drivability.

[@mainstreetband622]

He has a GT350 though.

+David G yup the guy is a fraud jay was putting him over his knee

[@jarmeljake]

Jays a huge douchebag. And unfortunately for Jay and his lousy attitude about Ford 429's because it seems to show just how little he knows about history of muscle cars in general. "When Richard Petty looked at what Plymouth (his long-time benefactor) was offering as race fodder for 1969, and then looked over at the long-nose Ford Torino Talladega, King Richard opted put blue paint and the number 43 on a Ford for the year. With NASCAR running at Talladega Superspeedway for the first time in 1969, Ford realized aerodynamics would be more important than ever. So they lengthened the Torino fastback's nose, planted a flush grille in it, and installed the flatter rear bumper under the grille. They called it, appropriately, Talladega. And in order to keep Mercury in the game they applied the same treatment to the Cyclone fastback to create the Cyclone Spoiler II.While the slippery pair were built in minuscule numbers to homologate them for racing, they all had the 428 Cobra Jet engine--an engine Ford never intended for racing. Instead, Ford built a limited number of Boss 429 Mustangs to homologate that open port engine for NASCAR competition. Go figure. With a clever tire strategy, the great LeeRoy Yarbrough won the 1969 Daytona 500 in a Torino Talladega prepared by Junior Johnson. David Pearson meanwhile would take 11 wins and the 1969 season championship driving Holman-Moody Talladegas. Richard Petty won another 10 races in Fords and finished second in the championship.**The Torino Talladegas and Cyclone Spoiler IIs are the cars that made the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird necessary.

[@marksonanything]

The best version of the legendary Mustang🔥

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

that engine just sounds quality,, what a great restoration.

[@timmitzlaff8960]

That has to be the best looking Mustang ever. Man I can't stop,looking at it. Just beautiful. Yes I had a 69 it was a 428CJ dark green, but this red 69 is just everything perfect. The same car with the Boss 302 to me would be the perfect car. Then on the other hand the 429 you see it's too much, to pretty, to nice.

[@joehollywood538]

Was your Dark Green 69 a SCJ, and from the phoenix area?.. I might own that very car..

zzzhuh yea. To be fair forced induction cars had an edge this year but Ferrari were strong and i love how it was yet again a Ford and Ferrari fight in GTE. Im not fond of Penske but im glad he stepped up and hosted these cars

[@Timinator62]

Gannasi ran the Ford GT's ...... NOT PENSKE

[@patrickpelletier6315]

Timinator62 i had heard it was Penske, not Gannasi. I cant find anything saying either at this point though

[@Timinator62]

Whoever you heard that from was wrong, it was announced last year at Le Mans that Ford was coming back to Le Mans with the GT and Chip Gannasi was running the Team. www.fiawec.com is the racing series, Le Mans results are there. GTE PRO was the class the GT ran in.

[@janosistvan5226]

I got a chance to get inside one of those. My best friends brother who died in Nam owned it and barely had a chance to drive it around before he was killed there in Nam. It was an experience for a 16 year old kid to even be in the presence that car and what it rep-presented. Wow... Engine was such a tight fit you had to go underneath or lift the engine to replace two of the spark plugs. Truly an awesome piece of artwork... body design, lines and fastback style. Eleanor 68 fastback was the only one that even came close to it in my opinion. More user friendly... Sweet !

[@vmat1000]

The '69 fast back was always my favorite.

[@charliedee9276]

Easily the best looking Mustang and right up there with the Hemi Cuda as far as rarity and coolness.
