Low production, NASCAR connection, a unique high-performance
engine and eye-appealing color are all rolled into one with this 1969 Boss 429.
This '69 Boss 429 has been restored to factory condition by Boss 429
specialists Kevin’s Klassic Cars in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, which has restored
more than 70 Boss 429 Mustangs. This Candy Apple Red Boss 429 Mustang
represents the pinnacle of big-block Mustang development and retains its
original body panels, including floor pans, trunk drop-offs, quarters,
doors, fenders, hood, valances and the trunk lid. Even the carpet is
original and presents in amazing condition. It also has an original front
spoiler, which is super rare and difficult to find today. Under the hood, this
car is equipped with correctly date coded and stamped components,
including the block, heads, valve covers, carburetor, distributor, intake,
exhaust manifolds, transmission, rear end and all of the pulleys,
alternator, belts and hoses. Of the five colors offered on the 1969 Boss 429,
Candy Apple Red was the brightest and the second most popular with 238 produced
out of the 849 total production. Like all 1969-70 Boss 429s, KK No. 1920
started its supercar journey at Ford’s Dearborn Assembly Plant where the shock
towers were replaced with narrower assemblies to widen the engine compartment.
The Mustang SportsRoof was then trucked to Kar Kraft, Ford’s contracted
performance facility in Brighton, Michigan, for the final Boss 429 engine
installation. Kar Kraft’s mini assembly line also installed the manually
operated hood scoop, relocated the battery to the trunk and bolted on 15-inch
Magnum 500 wheels with Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. As the ultimate Mustang
muscle car with an underrated 375 HP, the Boss 429’s drivetrain came from Ford
with the Toploader 4-speed and tough 9-inch rear end with “N-case” pumpkin,
31-spline axles and 3.91 gears in a Traction-Lok differential. The front shock
towers received extra bracing to handle the loads from the F60x15 tires, and
the Competition Suspension included staggered rear shocks to control wheel hop
during hard acceleration. Compared to other muscle cars of the late 1960s, the
Boss 429 was tame in appearance, identified only by its hood scoop, chin
spoiler and “Boss 429” decals on the front fenders. Every Boss 429 received a
unique decal on the driver’s door with its “KK NASCAR 429” serial number. KK
No. 1920 comes with its original build sheet, Marti Report and Lois Eminger
invoice. At the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, this Boss 429 scored 992/1,000
points, winning a Concours Gold Award, and the judges complimented the car
on the orange peel in the paint, stating that this is the way they all should
be.

For 1970, Don Yenko knew he was facing a rapidly reshaped sales
environment. His Super Camaro program in 1969 had started a revolution, but big
inches were becoming an insurance problem. Hence, the Yenko Deuce releases,
like this car, became the first time the SYC name was applied to a displacement
package that was smaller than the largest factory-available engine combination,
as the company still offered the SS396 Nova package in 1970. Yenko, however,
was one step ahead of the game, as he knew the potential of the just-released
LT1 350/360 HP V-8 engine, at that point available only in the Corvette and
redesigned Camaro Z28. Using his notable connections in Detroit, he was granted
a COPO code to get this engine installed in place of the standard 350 CI V-8 in
non-SS Novas. COPO 9010 eventually resulted in 175 Yenko Deuce Novas. It came
with the M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission, and Yenko also specified
power front disc brakes and heavy-duty cooling equipment on these cars. Headers
and dual exhaust are on this example’s engine, which still has the
factory-released LT1 chrome-lid air cleaner. This car is painted in classic
Fathom Blue and features white Yenko Deuce graphics that included side stripes
with rear-fender identification, the name of the engine, LT1, laid out in
parallel stripes on the hood, and a special Dixco hood-mounted tachometer
featuring a Yenko insignia on its face. Inside, this car has the standard black
vinyl seating, auxiliary gauges, Yenko Deuce door callouts and chrome pedal
dress-ups. A set of 5-spoke wheels with Y-logo center caps are on all four
corners, and this car rides on Firestone Wide Oval tires. Quite ironically,
this would be the final of Yenko’s V-8 packages during the era, as Don would go
to Vega models the following year. That said, the hot lil’ Deuce and its LT1
driveline combination was a fitting conclusion to that heritage.
