Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

429/370hp, 4-speed, Magnum wheels, Polyglas GT tires, Traction-Lok, power brakes, power steering, pushbutton radio, chin spoiler.

Condition

Represented as the original numbers matching engine, build sheet documented plus a Marti Report. Meticulously restored to better than new with minute attention to detail. Mirror-like chrome, glass-smooth paint. Two owners and comes with the build sheet, owner's manuals, warranty card and owner data plate. If there is a better Boss-Nine out there it is difficult to imagine.

Market commentary

And this is the price of owning the best. Boss-Nine values are a bit of a story. After languishing for years they took off in 2004 when Kruse sold the Woodhead Collection's car for $242,000, effectively doubling the highest prior price for a Boss 429. They went on from there until the enthusiasm was eventually exhausted a few years ago but have now begun to trend up again. It's an engine-guy's car, and not particularly rare with 1,358 built in '69 and '70, but that big Semi-Hemi under the hood gets everyone's attention. The complicated heads are so heavy they come with lifting eyes on them. They still command exceptional prices and for the caliber of its restoratin this is a reasonable result.
