In the USA, a cult 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 was put up for auction on eBay. The super-powerful limited muscle car was found in an abandoned garage, where it stood for almost 40 years.
The last time this 1969 Ford Mustang drove on the roads was back in 1981. It should be noted that the car has been well preserved, and its mileage is only 13.3 thousand miles (21.3 thousand km).
Ford Mustang Boss 429 was created as a production version of the NASCAR racing car.
At the time, it was the most powerful Mustang in the lineup — its seven-liter V8 developed 375 hp (although rumors suggest this figure was underestimated to reduce insurance costs). The car could accelerate to a hundred in 6.6 seconds and covered a quarter mile in 13.7 seconds.
In 1969, only 859 Ford Mustang Boss 429s were produced, and this version is very valuable today. So the starting price of 166 thousand dollars is quite justified.
