Tough decision, speed or collectibility. I'd take the Boss simply because I like the 69 body style.

Those Boss's are wicked fast too! Not as fast as an 04 Cobra but still fast. I had to vote for the 69 but the 04 Cobra is a still a close second!

My fave design is the 67-68's and second is the 99-04 design followed by the 05 and on. I still think the 99-04's look the meanest! Though I could be a bit biased

I had to go with the boss, epecially since you could sell it and buy more than one cobra, but even if they cost the same I would say boss.

Boss. I would take any Boss over a new Cobra. The Boss will only get more expensive, and continue to go up in value and in a few years, the Cobra will be cheap enough to get anyways.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Cobra (esp. the 98 and 01), but the classics are classics for a reason.

Boss by a mile... I'd sell my own mother into slavery to own that Boss pictured above. It just looks most awesome.

Boss 429, I'd pick that over 99% of the car's out there in existance.
one of the faster Muscle car's too. It'll run mid 13 on bias ply tires at a factory bone stock setting.
With some drag radials, and some simple old fashioned tuning that a baby could do (well maybe not) it's be the beast of all beasts. Man I want one soo bad.

That was an easy question,I like all Mustangs, But I have only ever owned one. I bought my black on black 1969 BOSS 429 when I was 18 because I thought it was the ultimate Mustang. My wife and I just got back from the BOSS reunion at Carlisle where the BOSS made its first showing in about 35 years. As soon as I get the pics set up I will post them. For now,there are 2 pictures of my car and hundreds of other Carlisle pics at imagestation.com
