1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback

Paul Walker didn’t just star in the Fast and Furious franchise, he also lived it, as is evidenced by his 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback. Even if you’re not in the market for a true American muscle car, you should check this beauty out.

This Boss 429 is done in Raven Black and has only 14,575 original miles on it. The car has been used so little that it still wears the factory body panels. It also carries the KK designation in its KK 1773 serial number, which means that it was built by Kar-Kraft, a Ford subcontractor that built the Boss 429s. Ford contracted Kar-Kraft to handle this project because of all the time and effort required to fit the semi-Hemi 429 CI V8 into the engine bay. All that time and was definitely worth it as the 820-T engine in Paul Walker’s Boss 429 has an output of 375 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. The power is fed through a close-ratio Toploader 4-speed manual transmission with a 3.91-geared Traction-Lok rear end.

Inside, the Boss 429 has high-back bucket seats done in black vinyl. The dashboard houses an AM radio and the Deluxe Décor group with its wood-grain vinyl appliques. The exterior mirrors are colour-keyed.

There are some known resto specimens, like this 429 showcased at SEMA, the one in Jay Leno’s Garage, or the one in Jack Roush’s collection (of ROUSH Performance). An occasional barn find will also surface now and then. But for now, while we wait for the next Boss 429 treasure to be unburied, we look back at some of the cool facts that Ford fans may have forgotten about the 1969 Mustang Boss 429.
