Market commentary
One of three Boss 429s at Barrett-Jackson this year, this car was the best and predictably sold for the most money at a top-of-the-market number (Lot 1410 brought $286,000 and Lot 1369 brought $225,500). Way back in 1998, the same car sold here for just $32,550 fresh from restoration when it had 21,049 miles on its odometer. In that time Boss Nines have gone from being considered to be nose-heavy oddities to being highly valued collector cars, but this is expensive.
