Just one lottery win and I'd have them all!

@grockwood Looks like you did a wheel swap so you can drag it on the weekends! 😎 😎
The problem with the BOSS 429 was the engine was developed for NASCAR use so the RPM range and cams were all wrong for the street and strip, add in the weight of the 429 engine and this was not the best Mustang Ford built.
The 1970 version above is nice, my black and gold 1969 version is a one off prototype built for Bunke Knudson, the rest of the 1969 Boss 429 run had one big difference from the Knudson Boss 429 and that is on the rear quarter panels behind the door the production line BOSS 429's all had intake scoops while the Knudson Boss 429 does not have the intake scoops behind the doors on the rear quarter panels.
Here are my two 1969 BOSS 429's:
@grockwood Wow, I learn something new every day - I don't remember this drag version. 😀 🤔
I think Highway 61 missed the boat on the Mustang as they could have done a great Bob Glidden and Dyno Don Nicholson Mustangs. I have the Ertl versions of both cars but Highway 61 would have made them much better. Their Sox & Martin cars are something else very well done.
Two Ertl Mustangs vs Highway 61 Cuda. While the Ertl's are nice to look at they don't have the detail of the Highway 61.
