Dreamin’ of Another Rare 429 Boss?

Maybe that’s a little over the top, likely stemming from my own growing appreciation for the car since I started writing for “The Mustang Source.” Hands down, the 429 Boss is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite classic American muscle cars.

This ’69 restored model pictured (one of 859 original Boss 429s made) is being sold by the exclusive James Edition luxury dealer in the Netherlands with a listing price of 350,000 euro or around $490,000 in the U.S.

Oh, and just in case you’re questioning the asking price for a restored model, keep in mind that that in August, an original un-restored ’69 Boss sold for $550,000 at a Mecum auction. That’s about $55,000 shy of the all-time reported record of $605,000 for one that crossed the block at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2007.
