To Ford’s incoming new president, Semon “Bunkie” Knudsen, the company’s decade-long Total Performance program was an international success by every measure, except one: sales. The performance-oriented Knudsen wasted no time in solving the problem by appealing to the youth market, launching the 1968 428 Cobra Jet Mustangs into NHRA Super Stock competition and following that up with the Boss 429 Mustang, whose purpose was twofold: homologate the new 429 “Semi Hemi” engine for NASCAR and unleash what Roy Lunn of GT40 fame described as “really just a hairy, crazy road machine.”

To fit the immense 429 engine into the Mustang’s confines, Ford contractor Kar Kraft lowered the front suspension and moved the mounting points outward. All Boss 429s were equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and 3.91:1 Traction-Lok rear axle, dual exhaust, functional hood scoop and front spoiler, Competition Suspension, color-keyed dual racing mirrors, engine-oil cooler, trunk-mounted 85-amp battery, power steering, power front disc brakes, a 3/4-inch rear sway bar, the Deluxe Décor interior, 8,000 RPM tachometer and an AM radio.

This 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, Kar Kraft No. 1886, was delivered to Mercer Motor of Princeton, West Virginia, for retail sale. The two-year restoration was based on the the original rust-free sheet metal and included new glass, Deluxe Décor interior and bright work. Special care was taken to refinish the engine compartment and undercarriage using the correct specific metal coatings, plating treatments and paint finishes. KK No. 1886 would make a wonderful addition to the stable of the most discerning collector.
