The Boss 429, also known as the "Boss 9" by enthusiasts, is arguably one of the rarest and most valued muscle cars to date with only 857 429 Ford Mustangs built in 1969.
The origin of the Boss 429 came about as a result of NASCAR as Ford was seeking to develop a Hemi engine that could compete with the famed 426 Hemi from Chrysler in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series.
The Boss 429 engine was derived from the Ford 385 engine and used four-bolt mains, a forged steel crank and forged steel connecting rods. The engine featured aluminum cylinder heads, with a modified Hemi type combustion chamber which Ford called "crescent". These heads used the "dry-deck" method, meaning no head gaskets were used. Each cylinder, oil passage and water passage had an individual "O" ring style seal to seal it tight. The Boss 429 engine used a single Holley four barrel carburetor rated at 735 CFM mounted on an aluminum intake manifold and an hydraulic lifter camshaft.

The battery was repositioned to the trunk and a stiff 3/4" sway bar was added to rear end to improve handling since the car was nose heavy. This was the first Mustang ever fitted with a rear sway bar, and it notably handled much better than other big-block Mustangs of the time, making it a very capable track car. It came fitted with an 8,000rpm tachometer, and AM only radio. In addition, a hole was cut in the hood, and a manually controlled hood scoop was added to these cars. Other features included a front spoiler that was shallower than the Boss 302 spoiler, color keyed dual racing mirrors, and an engine oil cooler. It was also equipped with a 3.91 ratio rear axle with a "Traction-Lock" limited slip differential.
The cars were rated very conservatively at 375HP and 450lbft of torque. Actual output over the years was tested and stated to be well over 500 horsepower. The manufacturers and dealers only listed 375HP because of legal issues and rising insurance costs so customers would be lured into buying these cars without the stiff fees from an insurance company.
Despite the high horsepower and torque ratings, the car was at home in the high RPM range although it is limited to 6,200 RPM, it is said to be able to rev up to 9,000 RPM for extended periods of time, which is impressive given the engines massive 7.0L displacement.
The BOSS 429 featured a toned down exterior, as compared to other Ford Mustangs of the era in that the only external identification of the car were the Boss 429 decals on the front fenders and unique hood scoop which to this day is the largest hood scoop ever used by Ford.
To show just how special these cars were, they were given special NASCAR identification that was placed on the driver's side door. Each car was given a "KK" number which stood for Kar Kraft. KK #1201 was the first Boss 429 and KK #2558 was the last Boss 429 made.
All BOSS 429s were manual transmission, and there was no air conditioning available due to the size of the engine. Some early cars were known as "S" code cars and as such had a slightly different engine. These cars had magnesium valve covers, NASCAR style forged internals, nearly no smog or emissions equipment and are said to be more powerful than the later "T" and "A" code engines which had the emissions related equipment to satisfy government regulations.
This is Number KK1318, #117 of the 857 produced and is an "S" CODE WITH THE NASCAR INTERNALS AND HIGHER HORSEPOWER OUTPUT.

Love it! Almost bought a 70 Boss 429, but the Ford dealer wouldn't give me a reasonable trade in on my 69 Plymouth Roadrunner Hardtop, with a 383. In 1968 my first Mustang was a 65 GT Fastback, with a 289 4Bll, manual trans. I put one of those 429 hood scoops on it,, and made it ram air, as well as some other mods.
The underclassman I sold it to, really made a "dragstrip" car out of it, wheelie bars & all, then totaled it doing what your doing, flooring it on a dirt/gravel road! Fish-tailed, put it in a ditch, and bent it like a "V"! Don't do that to that rare Boss 429!
The look on your face after that zero to 60 was priceless and even just hearing it on a phone sounds so sick man great video 😎
haha
Phenomenal camera / editing work Ross. I love the cuts to different cameras while keeping audio continuous. Also- Beautiful Car!
Thank you!
Ross YOU WILL build this channel to 1 million SUBCRIBERS !!!!!!! 👍
Thank you Nail!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron small chanell challenge :) hope you will blow this account up as well !
You’re the best Ross!
thank you!
John Wick actually drove a Mach 1. That is correct.
Beautiful car. Thank you for sharing.
My favorite year of the Mustang
Love it Ross. Your face says it all from 0 to 60! Living in Australia, I am learning about classic US cars from this channel. We would say here you are a classic "rev head" :)
Also, thanks for your Warrior Trading Pro course. It has been the last piece of a decade and a half long puzzle for me. It has helped me become a profitable trader. Lots more years to look forward to in the warrior pro community I hope!. A sincere thank you!
My dream car! Thank you for this video!
Love it Ross ! Thank you !
Someday I’m driving to your town and buying you coffee to chat cars
Would be amazing. Cheers from NB Canada
cheers!!
John Wick's car was a Mach 1. The idiots in the movie industry couldn't even get that right. A lot of hype around these cars, but they were pretty slow in stock form. I grew up immersed in classic mustangs. My first car was a 1969 mustang fastback that I rebuilt with all the bells and whistles including a stroker 4v Cleveland. And I still own that car.
Yep!
Warrior student here! Liked and subbed. I'm a car guy AND a Mustang/ Ford guy too. Great content. I grew up on chokes and double pumper big CFM HOLLEY carbs.a real treat to see a museum piece out cruising around. It would be cool too meet you some day. Thanks Ross.
awesome!
zero to sixty in a quarter second...lol
she's got a lot of kick...
love it!!
lol
What a CAR! John P.
Thanks for pointing out that the car wick drove most likely wasn’t a real boss 9. I’ve always thought the same thing. Great video btw!
Thank you!
I can't believe you drove it on a rock road. I would be driving so slow kicking rocks are bad for nice cars. PS great video
It was worth it!!
I agree. I would never drive a 300,000 dollar car down a gravel road!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron you could get the same feeling from driving a gt500 at 100k without caring about supply.
Hooooly what a beast. My dream car, for sure! I have a 2016 GT, but I'm an old school fan, honestly.
thank you!
And I have a ‘14 GT but am an old school fan as well! Love all V8 Stangs of the late 60’s 👍
Gravel?!?! A 5 minute halt for u buddy! Park it! lol Very nice Ross!
lol
Thank you, for explaining the fact that John wick car is not a boss429, only a Mach 1.I hate it when people call John Wicks car a Boss.
Me too!!
Wick’s was a Mach 1! BIG DIFFERENCE BABY
Glad to see Ross doing some sick shit, well done.
thank you man!
MY GOD THAT SOUNDS NICE
it's a monster!
Great Video Ross! Well done!! Enjoyed the scenery and commentary and obviously the Boss 429!!
thanks RM
Hearing you talk about cars in the same patterned way you talk about stocks is honestly refreshing; very informative and detailed. I started watching your stock videos specifically because my dream is to build a 1967 Shelby GT500 (doubt it'll be all matching digits though) and I would very much love to take a drive in it with that beauty beside me. Cheers!
awesome!! the GT500 is awesome
Dude,...that is a Boss 429 mustang you do not need a wet gravelly road to break the tires loose sista-man 😄
haha I know
Love the steering wheel. Reminds me of my dad's and grandfather's old cars when I was a kid...
thank you yes! It's very thin. I prefer the GT500 wheel.
Love the detail that went into this
esteban Olivares me too!
Awesome Car Ross 😃I think I’m gonna cash in my BRK-A share and get one 🤣
hah there ya go!
Looks like you got some land there bud.
Thank you Ross, I’m really enjoying these cars as I’m a car guy also, also thanks for trading and everything that bring positivity to my life style from you. 👍❤️🇺🇸
thank yoU!
I like these more than the daily recap haha
hah thank you!
What an absolute beauty of a car love it!! 🐐🐐
Thanks Kevin!
You just need to add in the future your badge holders rides...... Great video
yes!! John has a nice maserati!
WOW ROSS !!! Cool car....nine first car was a 1990 mustang l.x. 2 door just a 4 cylinder...I had gotten it when it was 8 year old , it only had 49,000 kms..on it..mine was the 25 th. Year anniversary of the mustang..I sold it back in 2008..sometimes I wish that I hadnt. Thank s 4 the video...I loved it.
Mine first car sorry..
My first car.
Right on!
I'm almost positive John Wick car was a 69' Mach 1, probably a 351 Cleveland.
Still a cool car.
Yea Wick’s was a ‘69 Mach 1
@@brownie4032 yep, 69 has 4 headlights.
Correct
John Wick is on now, why some people think 429 is because the Russian at gas station says "nice car, a boss 429"..
"You stole his car and killed his dog?"
You idiot!
"You send John Wick to kill the Boogeyman"😂
A guy one grade ahead of me in high school drove one of these in the mid 1980s. It seemed an awfully nice ride for a high school student, but I had no idea it was so special. And I don't think it was simply dolled up to look like a Boss 429. I think it was the real deal.
damn that's awesome!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron It was black and in beautiful shape. I wonder if it's still in the family.
Morning checklist: Eat well, sleep well, couple stocks on the watchlist, And cold start the Boss 429.
yes!!
Ross in the Boss!
YES!
This car does not belong on that gravel road ! Unbelievable !
Ross good for you Beautiful piece of Art!
thnk you!
Ross what kind of gas do you put in there just regular 91, That’s very nice, I’m jelly
I put in highest octane I can find, 93 or 95
More power, even better, Should get all the boss cars together for a family picture
Question; what did the engine cost as a piece? The build sheet lists "120a", but the transmission is "253", so was the engine $120, or does the "a" represent something else?
Trade in the morning... drive your sweet classics in the afternoon.. not a terrible way to live.
yes!
Was about to say we needed another Tire Kickers episode! Looks nice; Is that Massachusetts?
yes berkshire county!
Ross the Boss got BOSS car, I love it! How much did u pay for this beauty?
A gentlement doesn't ask and a lady never tells 🙂
@@TireKickers-RossCameron lol, you telling me that I'm not a gentleman and that you're a lady? 🤔
Art Jenssen oh snap!
I love you Ross and I will subscribe but jean-shorts? C'mon man, you're KILLING ME!!!!!
David Lombard haha I love them!
Wow manual transmission. I even like the color. super rare car. Enjoy
thank you!!
Lap belts 😆 so safe
lol i know
Point Break! Nananeu drove a ‘69 Boss 302
i was always wondering besides your profession of trading what else you do? and here i found you.
cars!
Wow!!! my spiritual leader on stocks also loves cars and drives a stick 😁 , Cool , yes idling and some revs sound so sweet, real classic power
yes sir!!
Is it smart - no
Should you do it - no
Do you feel like you need to do it - yes
Do you want to do it - yes
Will you feel better afterwards - yes
No regrets. I love this kind of decision making :D
Life is for living folks.
haha yes!
Did you setup your hotkeys for 0-60 launch, it seems much faster.
haha I did
wanted a tour of your house ross or atleast your home theater i have got to see little bit on miday recap on another video of yours fews days back but love to see more of that.
I'll do it at some point!
Gotta love that hemi engine sound. Too bad Ford hasn't made that many of them.
it's incredible, unlike any other car
Ross in the BOSS!
Hey Roman!
the thrill of driving that 🤗
Monster!!
I owned one when I was nineteen. A ‘70 Pastel Blue. Only eighteen Pastel Blue BOSS 429s. All you have to do to make the rear end break away on pavement is to punch it while in a curve. But be careful. It can get away from you very quickly.
Will Davis; What the hell?
Wow !?
@@TireKickers-RossCameron My Instagram is peeperdacat. You will find photos of my BOSS 429 scattered throughout, as well as some info on my history with it. The day I got it was one of the happiest days of my life. Selling it was the biggest regret of my life.
Pretty sweet Ross.. Put some miles on her after you rebuild that trans.. Would be awesome to see you and Keanu ride motorcycles 🏍 in one of your videos.
Yes!! I pray!! 🙏🙏
shook Keanu’s hand cpl times. He loves bikes as well!
what!? awesome!
Tire Kickers Perks of working in LA, i’ve met almost the whole hollywood industry. :)
As one of your long time students, I hereby officially request that this December we have an ugly Hawaiian shirt contest and vote the winner in the small cap chat room.
ooh good idea!
hahaha
Just realized ur warrior trading.. for a sec. I was thinking why does this guy looks exactly like that stock trading guy😂😂
fast&furious6 the best car🤗
i thought KK was in brighton michigan...
That's funny. I just watched John Wick last night for the first time.
it's a good movie!
AWESOME!!!!
Thanks Tommy!
Trading from Zero to 100 is like driving a fast car. Make some quick decisions in 15 second's.
yes!!
Don't drive a 69 BOSS in the rain, but destroy its paint by doing max-stupid gravel road "burn-outs"? You are not right in the heart
Haha
You mean head ?
ROSS 429
😻😻
Luv the car ... a lot. Some would say promoting a 350k car parked in a garage is inviting trouble, but whatever
I hear you, but realistically you could say that about any high end car video.
Does Ross speed? :) I didn't bring my radar detector. The Mustang and the Porsche sound great!
I don't usually drive too fast!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron Riiiggghhhhttttt, lol
I want one!
Same here, that's an awesome car.....I just need 360K ...lol
yes!
The Ford 429 is physically bigger than many engines in that class, Just like the modern Ford 5.0 is physically bigger than than the Chevy 6.2 small block in the Camaros.
Good point!
hi Ross im a warrior pro class member 😉 i want to know , you drive this mustang with Hotkeys ? 😂
hey Ben! Thank you! Yeah I need to get the hotkeys!
Gas pedal is selling the ask on a rip
HaHa, Ross... Thanks man, for refreshment.
Thank you for commenting!! Hit the sub button!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron Always Following your Ross, Green, Red, or White. Always! Thanks for today's steam for 30 min extra on the market open. Been learning so much.
Gosh even J Leno has one of those
yeah!!
hey Ross ! take care ! :)
By the way, how is the momentum of the 1969 Ford Mustang Ross?
Momentum is hot!!
Is this the daytrader dream ? ;-)
what area is this? beautiful!
This is berkshire county MA
John Wick drove a '69 Mach I, not a Boss 429. There's about a $250,000 price difference between the two vehicles.
Yeah I know it, but they called it a boss 429 in the movie!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron The only time the model is mentioned is when Iosef says "Boss 429. Is it a 70?" as a point that he's out of his depth and doesn't know what he's talking about, as it is clearly neither a Boss 429 nor a '70.
It was in the first movie when they were stealing it that they called it a 429 but you could be right
Really nice car but too bad for the color grading of the video
Ross, is there a Tire Kickers Instagram?
Yes! right here: instagram.com/tirekickers00/
does that car have power steering
Yes it does!
If there would only be one classic car to own:
MB W198 300 SL. 🤷♂️
that's an epic car, it's a blue chip investment! $1mil ++
@@TireKickers-RossCameron we weren't talking about prices :D
An 1980s SL would do also :)
YESSSSSS
thank you Kyle!
👍
Yes!
John wick drives a 69 mach 1 not a boss
when's the new vid coming
I filmed a Porsche 993 Turbo episode but the audio was messed up, have to film again!
Wow,what u thing bout the 69 camaro
i dont like '69, but I do like '67 and '68
Please don't ever drive that car down a dirt road again. Way too high risk of chipping the paint.
lol it was worth it! cars are meant to be driven!
Sounds like testosterone
lol yes!
This "Fluff" is trying to explain how a muscle car works and he's ignorant to the fact 😂😂😂
it’s so sexy 😭
Yes 😍
Have you ever been pulled over for speeding doing these videos?
not yet, fingers crossed!
👨🌾 👨🌾 👨🌾
yes!!
Ross Cameron? The stock trading guy?
yes! www.warriortrading.com
You showed the whole car for 1 second, shame on video.
Grail car
yes!
@@TireKickers-RossCameron if you think it's a grail car why are thrashing it down a gravel road ?
