1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 - Click above for high-res image gallery
The seller of this 1969 Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang) Boss 429 bought it from its original Akron, Ohio owner who racked up a scant 4,405 miles before offloading it back in the day. It's been garage-kept all its life, and still sports its original, terrifying bias-ply tires. According to the seller, this particular Boss 429 is fitted with the coveted 'S' engine, a feature only available on the first 279 Boss 429s produced.
The current owner says he bought the car in excellent shape in 2007 and had it professionally cleaned and re-awoke the engine after a long slumber. Since then, the car has been pampered and its astonishing mileage preserved.
Despite its low mileage, the Boss participated in, and won, a couple bracket races when new. The quarter windows still carry the winner's stickers. The price for this all-original time capsule is enough to make even the most-hardcore Mustang fan gulp. Buy-It-Now is set at an astounding $550,000. Is it worth it? Have your say in Comments. Top tip, Brent!
