An expert named Jerry MacNeish publishes a very informative guide to Chevy Z/28's from 1967-1969, in which he goes into detail how to spot a real one. Right down to date codes, etc. on every component. I cannot seem to find a similar book that goes into detail about the 1969-70 Boss 429. I need a guide in order to spot fakes, non-original parts, etc. Can the forum community recommend a book? Thank you.

 

I Would Bet @chorse could Help you Out He Love's Those Bosses! He Has Been Paged.

the three books featured off the Ebay link, in previous post, are quite informative;
1) Muscle Cars in Detail No 7 / 1969 - 1970...BOSS429.by Dan Burrill & Denny Aldridge.
2) BOSS429 (original) by Stephen B Strange.
3) BOSS429 (revised edition) by Stephen B Strange.
also Donald Farr has authored several books that cover BOSS302s, BOSS351s & BOSS429s.

a current one-on-one contact i would highly recommend is Bob Perkins who resides in Juneau WI.
Perkins Restoration o-920 696 3788 / web site Perkins Restoration.com / perkinsretorations@gmail.com

also the BOSS302 Registry at boss302.com has a forum of BOSS owners who are more than willing to help answer any questions you may have.
BOSS302 Registry has compiled a data base of all publicly known BOSS302s & BOSS429s.

WOW! awesome lines of cars!

 

tamstang_09-
the photo you just posted, is that from "The Brothers Collection" out in OR?
can you please add some descriptive info re the raven black 1969 BOSS429 pictured?
what is it's KK #, or is it actually the very first "Job #1" out of Kar Kraft?

 

that is an awesome pic you posted! yes it is the bros collection in oregon!!! i am not sure of all the details of the 69. Heres a 70 raven black boss

known as black beauty

 

Found it - it's KK1220

 

"The Brothers Collection" is on my bucket list, an amazing collection of OG Muscle Cars from all the domestic manufacturers back in the day; FoMoCo, BowTie, Mopar & AMC.
yes, that black raven 1970 B302 is a beauty in deed, interesting it is the only known B302 painted in black.

so, the raven black '69 B'9 pictured is KK1220, hmmm, a raven black w/gold livery '69 B'9 KK1205 was Simon "Bunky" Knudsen prototype (pictured below, ck it).
the fabled "Job #1" B'9 must be tucked away in someone's private collection.

 

This might be my favorite thread!!!

 

sounds like a unicorn hehe

 

we were so lucky to go, it was a fund raiser for a vietnam veteran memorial so money to a great cause PLUS the most magnificent cars i have ever seen! cant wait to go again-they have more cars in another warehouse and switch out but even if it is the exact same, would go again

 

the 1969 Boss 429 is KK1220

 

So, re the Black Raven 1969 BOSS429 in "The Brothers Collection", i did some digging on the internet and realized they have at least two on display; KK1220 (pictured above) and KK1213 (Pre-Production) which is the earliest '9 known to exist.
below are two video links, the first one (out of many on the internet) is a quick walk-around in "The Brothers Collection" bldg, time stamp 9:39 features KK1213 on a turntable, time stamp 14:07 shows the many Mustangs in the collection and time stamp 14:33 features the rare Blk 1970 B302. but i encourage you to watch the entire clip.
the second video link is a FB link that goes into great more detail re KK1213 / 2019 MCACN Event, ck it.
