Muscle cars légendaires, 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 is an amazing muscle car much desired today but was a little victim of a misunderstanding between her and her fans in its infancy. They wanted to see it in the response of the blue oval best Corvette, it was not and she did anyway not pretend.

This model was born out of necessity since Ford had obligation to produce 500 copies of its new engine for NASCAR. Instead of putting them under the hood of the Torino, the manufacturer of Dearborn decided to implement them under that of a Mustang Fastback freshly restyled. The 7 liter V8 adopts an aluminum cylinder head, combustion chambers crescent, a forged steel crankshaft or a quadruple barrel carburetor Holley 735 cfm-associated with a Ram Air. The official power is 375 hp at 5200 rev / min and torque of 610 nm to 3400 rev / min.
Reinforced suspension (with stabilizer bars front and rear), more direct steering, tires Polyglas F60X15 and front disc brakes are included in the offer ... Like two mandatory options: a manual transmission and 4-speed Traction-Lok differential.
Side look, the Stang inherits a functional air intake, a front spoiler, Magnum 500 rims, some decal and a tachometer graduated to 8000 rev / min. The air conditioning and automatic transmission were unavailable.
Ford will produce 1356 Mustang Boss 429 in 1969 and 1970 (857 for the vintage of interest here) and only two Mercury Cougar. This scarcity can be explained by the fact that it was the most expensive of Stang without Shelby badge.
0-60 mph made in 6.8 seconds, the quarter mile in 14 seconds at a speed of 103 mph or 166 km / h.
