Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

429 360hp Super Cobra Jet, automatic, shaker hood, buckets and console, factory tach, pushbutton radio, Magnum wheels, P S, P B, 3.91 Traction Lok, slats, Wide Oval tires, Drag Pack. A high quality cosmetic restoration of a 41,779 mile car with excellent paint, chrome and interior. Represented as matching numbers. Underbody is clean but has old undercoat and isnt to the same standards as what is more readily seen. Represented as a body off restoration but it doesnt look like it.

Market commentary

For some reason these eminently powerful muscle cars are overlooked by collectors who fawn over Boss 429 Mustangs and big block Chevelles. Its a shame, because they are powerful, rare and have plenty of eye appeal, particularly in a brilliant color like this, which might be Fords Last Stand Custard bright yellow. It sold at Barrett Jackson Palm Beach six weeks ago for $55,000 and should have brought more here.
