Classic Recreations, the custom fabricators from Oklahoma, has
rolled into
SEMA in Las Vegas with a continuation 1969
Ford Mustang Boss 429 that features a custom-built crate engine making 815 horsepower.
Swathed in monochromatic "Vengeance Black" paint, the racing pony car was built from an original 1969 Mustang body and restored to factory condition. It's the first vehicle released under Classic's new license with Ford, which also permits it to offer continuation versions of the 1969-1970 Boss 302 and Mach 1 Mustangs. The Boss 429 was born when Ford, eyeing intense NASCAR competition from Chrysler, developed a new 429 cubic-inch, 375-hp V8 for the Mustang. Ford built fewer than 900 of them for the 1969 model year and just under 500 for 1970, the only two years they were built.
Elsewhere, the Boss 429 gets Michelin Pilot Sport tires mounted to all-new forged aluminum 18-inch wheels made by American Racing and zinc-washed rotors mated to six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers. There's also a tilt column and complete rack-and-pinion steering conversion. There are also Kicker Audio speakers, a custom console, aluminum steering wheel and factory Boss 429 200-mph gauges.
The custom conversion Boss 429 starts at $209,000.

"The Boss 429 is one of the coolest and rarest Mustangs ever produced, but they have gotten so valuable that most owners won't drive them," Classic Recreations owner Jason Engel said in a statement. "This offers people the chance to own an incredibly rare car that they can actually drive, and with modern chassis and engine tech, these cars will actually be faster and easier to drive than the original."
This continuation version brings a 546 cubic-inch (8.9-liter) mated to a Tremec manual transmission. It also features an updated valve train, electronic fuel injection and engine management systems. There's also a four-link rear suspension and front tubular upper and lower control arms with adjustable coilovers and oversized sway bars for stability at high speeds. It's also been fitted with stainless steel performance mufflers and long tube headers to accentuate the aggressive sound and allow the engine to breathe.Elsewhere, the Boss 429 gets Michelin Pilot Sport tires mounted to all-new forged aluminum 18-inch wheels made by American Racing and zinc-washed rotors mated to six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers.
