Equipment
Fresh restoration of period Boss 429 drag car, finished a week ago. Kar Kraft 1243. Dual quads on Weiand 2 piece high rise intake, fiberglass hood and bumper, 581 dyno hp. Meticulously restored with help from Jim Hadden. Blew engine during restoration three weeks ago and replaced with period date coded block. An impressive job on a Boss 429 with equally impressive period drag racing history.
Market commentary
Barrett Jackson sold Lawman, another well restored Boss 429 drag car with period history, in 2003 for $129,600. The Hadden & Gorman car is no more significant, although the Boss 429 market has taken off in the past two years so todays comparable price might be $150 175K. A drag car is not comparable with a Bud Moore team Trans Am Mustang. Theres a no reserve B J 05 number in this Boss 429s future. Time will tell.
