I'm looking to get my hands on a 1:24 or 1:18 Boss 429. Thing is I have alot of bills and what not. So does anyone have a clue where I could get a Boss 429 for like $25 or under?
Preferably a 1:18 since my 68 KR, and my 98 Shinoda and my 00 Cobra R are all the same size and would be kool to keep em the same.

I've only seen the 1:24 Franklin Mint 1970 Boss 429 . . .and it's pretty darn expensive. I think ~$120.00.

Revell Monogram makes a nice model of the 1970 one but You have to build it and I know alot of you guys dont build models. I have 4 of those two of which are now 69's. If you didnt mind building one than you should really look into that kit.

You're not going to find a 1/18 scale Boss 429 for under $25 unless you happen to find one at a swap meet.

I believe the only ones made by ERTL was the recent blue one they did that resembled the one Lane did years ago using their (ERTL) mold. The newer ERTL has black interior whereas the Lane has a white interior. Town and Country also did a boss but in black and there is no "Boss 429" lettering on the fender. Your best bet is to try eBay and see if you can snag the recent ERTL one for under $40.

I can't tell if this is a 429 - but Amazon has this for $25
Maybe it's a 302?...Still leanring about the classics
AMZN Link



The only other 429's that I know about that are relatively cheap are the 1:24 ones made by Jada...but you may not like them because they be having bling-bling whizzles.
