429/375 430-450HP

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.”

    Had one at the last cruise ins, cream and black. As I breathed in that raw fuel smell as he drove by i was hoping my wife didn't as one of those me or the car questions.
    I was admiring a black Ferrari at an airport garage one time and had a girlfriend ask that question. Hehehe... She got her feelings hurt.
