Important Notice!
This Super Ford Collector Series is on: "The 1969-70 BOSS 429 MUSTANGS". This 11 X 17" double print is in black, blue & magenta on a real nice fine pebble finish white paper. It had been folded in the center by our printer way back in 1978 so it could be inserted in Super Ford Magazine. It opens up as you see it here. ).
It was October 7, 1962, when Ford Motor Company introduced a sporty little two-seater called the Mustang I. Anxious onlookers praised the sporty little car as professional race car driver Dan Gurney, hot shoed it around the Watkins Glen track in excess of 120 mph. Much to Ford's advantage, Chevrolet's mid-engine, Corvair based, Monza GT experimental sports car also showed up for public display at Watkins Glen. The new Mustang I overshadowed the Monza GT so much that the Chevrolet display looked more like a wake than a new car showing.
Things rolled quickly from that point, and by the year's end, Lee Iacocca's Ford Division people were hard at work designing the Mustang production car. When Ford dealers opened their doors on the public introduction day of Friday April 17th, it was the beginning of "Mustang Madness". An estimated four million people visited their local Ford dealers that first weekend to see the new Mustang. It was Lee Iacocca's intention to create three styles of the Mustang: an economy version, a luxury version, and a performance version... he had done it all.
In it's first twelve months, 418,812 Mustangs were sold, a new all-time record for a first year entry.
By 1966 the Mustang had gained the reputation of being the most fault-free car ever produced by Ford.
But it was as early as mid-1965 that it was obvious that Chrysler and GM would be pushing hard to come up with a viable competitor for Ford's revolutionary new "Pony Car". The word was out, Chevrolet's Corvair would never make the grade so a totally new car called the Camero was scheduled to make it's debut in 1967, and Chrysler Corporation's incredibly slow selling Barracuda was scheduled for a complete facelift for 1967.
At this point, Ford had a problem - "How do you top an act like the original Mustang ?" Early in 1966, Ford's design studios were putting the final touches on the 1967 Mustangs. Ford continued the three model lineup - hardtop, fastback, and convertible, but the car featured a completely reshaped body, while still resembling the original Mustang. The interior changes included larger gauges in the dash, and an overall "more expensive" look. For the performance enthusiasts the big news was under the hood. With minor redesign to the shock towers, the second generation Mustangs could now accommodate the FE series Ford big block engines.
Admittedly, Ford never set out with the intension of topping the original Mustang, but the second generation was obviously number one in the pony car field. The most startling facts came at the end of the 1967 model year when the production figures were in. Mustang kept the lead with over double the sales of the new Chevrolet Camero.
1968 will be noted in automotive history as the year the government stepped in. Safety requirements included a collapsible steering column, side marker lights, redesigned interior door handles, window cranks, control knobs, coat hooks, and seat backs including release levers. Under the hood, the government initiated it's phase one emissions controls.
There were few actual body and trim changes, the interior featured some upgrading, and last but not least the muscular 427 and 428 CJ engine options were available under the hood.
Handsome, stylish, and forceful, were just a few of the adjectives used to describe Ford's new Mustang for 1969. With a history of over 2 million Mustang owners, (starting when the first Mustangs rolled off the assembly line in April of 1964), the 1969 Mustangs emerged as a triumphant combination of aerodynamic beauty, backed by the brute horsepower that was so synonymous with Ford's Total Performance campaign of the 1960s.
The fabulous Boss 429 Mustang is the most "macho" of all the production Ford muscle pony-cars. This collector series article describes how the Boss 429 cars came from the factory, the clean exteriors and the Mach I interiors. It goes on to explain the 2 different Boss 429 engines that came in the cars - the 820-S and the 820-T. Also included is the company that had the job of shoehorning the monster V8 into the Mustang body, and all the other modifications that were made in the chassis to let the Boss do it's job. The surface of the Boss 429's capability was only scratched when the energy crisis struck, and Ford turned their aggressiveness towards economy. Thus, the potential was never exploited in... "The Mightiest Mustangs" of all
