‘New’ 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Now On Sale

The Boss is back and arguably better than ever.

The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 is one of the most legendary American muscle cars.

The model was developed to homologate Ford’s new 429-cubic-inch V8 for NASCAR and came from the factory rated at 375 hp, but could easily be tuned to crank out a lot more.

Ford needed to sell 500 to clear it for racing and it delivered 857 despite its sky-high $4,798 starting price, which was about twice that of the base Mustangs. Another 499 were sold in 1970 before the model was discontinued.

Surviving examples trade for an average of $350,000 today, according to Classic.com, with top condition models commanding nearly twice as much. But what if you want a brand-new one?

That’s sort of possible now thanks to Revology Cars. The Florida-based company has been building reproduction 1960s Mustangs for the past decade and is now offering a Boss 429 model.

Revology starts with a donor Mustang to keep it legal as a restoration, but strips it down to nothing and rebuilds it with a steel body it crafts in house using spot welding, seam welded joints, and structural adhesive.

The suspension is updated with double wishbones in front and a three-link setup in the rear with a torque arm and Panhard rod for its Ford 8.8-inch axle. The number in the Boss 429 name isn’t accurate anymore, because the car is powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 rated at 710 hp. Revology offers it with either a six-speed stick or 10-speed automatic transmission. The Magnum 500 wheels are 17-inches and wrap around a set of Wilwood brakes with 13.06” front rotors and 12.88″ rear rotors.

The interior retains the classic look, but is fully redone with new trim materials including walnut veneer and a selection of vinyl and leather upholsteries. Analogue gauges are used, but there’s a touchscreen Pioneer head unit hidden behind a wood panel on the center console that is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and connects to an eight-speaker audio system. Revology offers dozens of heritage paint colors and interior trim options.

Prices start at $395,000 and its easy to add tens of thousands if you check enough boxes on the options list, so you won’t save much money compared to buying a classic, but yours won’t be 56 years old when you get it. It’ll just look like it does.
