thats a 1969 429


this a 1970 429:

 

1970

 

I've never really noticed it before, but the 2005 GT-R concept's headlights look very similiar to the split opening on the 70 model, except the headlights are actually behind the opening. I was wondering where they got that from.

Once again thanks for the clarification, oldskl427 and thezeppelin8

I think I'am beginning to like the 69 Boss 429 model just a tad better

This site rules :worship:

 

yup, it sure does. im pretty sure they wouldnt of done that if the '70 didnt have that.

 

yea, when it comes to the 429, i like both but the '69 barely wins. but when it comes to the 302, i just love the '70. the color combo of grabber blue with black stripes is just amazing, and the body seems to look better for the 302.

the 429's big hood scoop seems to fit the '69 better

 

if i picked a 429 i'd go for this one.

 

I'd go with a Calypso Coral '70. My uncle had one when I was little, so it brings back a lot of good memories. Plus, '70 was the best year for the Boss, I think....a lot of Trans Am wins.

 

I love every one of those cars, but I think the '69 just edges out the '70 for "Boss" looks.

 

lilbossman i love that color. but i'd prefer 69. i just like those lights better.

 

The grille and headlights arrangement would be the deciding factor for me. Although I would not refuse a '70. I could sacrifice and make an effort to live with it. 0:-)

 

I'd choose a 69 for its four eyed front end and some nifty color choices, but the 70 for its slightly better engine and available grabber colors.

I'm going with '69 for the simple reason that an extra set of head lights is better than a couple fake vents in the fenders.

 

I had a 70 Boss 302 and I loved that car. I sold it in the 80's for far to less than I should have. But I liked the grille in the 70 model. The tail light were also inset in the 70. In 69 they protuded.

 

!969! (It was my first car!) Here is a pic of a 69 I just finished rubbing out and installing the stripes! I have first shot at buying it when he gets ready to sell it! The blue car is a 500 KR conv. Mark

 

BEST EVER!!!

 

Did all 1970 Boss 429s have the scoop blacked out or did some have the scoop painted body color like in 1969?

Oh yeah, I voted 1969 as well...

 

wow... 1970 was kicking some ****, but the 1969 came back

 

I love the look/stripe package of the 1970 Boss 302.

Another advantage is the car had smaller valves than 1969 which would made the car more streetable than the '69.

 

I like them both but the 70 had more appeal to me since its got a shaker.

As far as I know only the 69 had the scoops the same color of the car and 70s were black.
