The Story

The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 stands among the most legendary and elusive muscle cars of the era, built as Ford’s ultimate homologation special to qualify the semi-hemispherical Boss 429 engine for NASCAR competition. Produced in extremely limited numbers and engineered with a singular purpose, the Boss 429 has long been regarded as one of the most desirable American performance cars ever built. Among them, factory Raven Black examples sit at the very top of the hierarchy, prized for their sinister appearance, rarity and unmistakable presence.

This exceptional example is an ultra-rare factory Raven Black Boss 429, and one of only 21 early production “S” code NASCAR-spec Boss 429 engine cars ever built. With only a few produced in this highly desirable factory color and specification, it represents an extraordinary opportunity for the serious collector. The car has been the recipient of a complete rotisserie restoration by a noted Boss 429 expert, returning it to a standard worthy of its rarity and significance. The car is accompanied by restoration photos, offering the kind of thorough documentation enthusiasts and collectors value.

Sold new at Fred Jones Ford in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this Boss 429 is also documented with its Deluxe Marti Report and copies of old titles. The car is also listed in the Boss Registry. Factory-equipped features include power steering, power front disc brakes, front spoiler, color-keyed racing mirrors, deluxe belts, a 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle, trunk-mounted battery, and competition suspension. Combining one of the most feared engines of the muscle car era with one of the rarest and most sought-after factory color combinations, this early production “S” code NASCAR 1969 Boss 429 would make a standout addition to any premier collection.
