The AutoHunter Cinema feature we look at today is a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429. This Mustang was introduced to homologate Ford’s new semi-hemi 429ci V8 for NASCAR, but the rules didn’t specify that it needed to be installed in the same street vehicle (in this case, the Torino Talladega). Fitting the Boss 429 engine in the Mustang led Ford to contract Kar Kraft to make the necessary modifications so the engine would fit, which it did barely — in fact, the master cylinder needed to be moved to change the number 8 spark plug. At RM Sotheby’s 2023 Arizona auction, this Grabber Green Boss sold for $280,000.

they were detuned heavy and not the fastest
This is an awesome machine, but my favorite will always be a 1970 SS Chevelle LS6 454. Red with black stripes. Beautiful body lines.
