1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Price: $462,000 Its rarity — fewer than 500 were built in 1970 — combined with its connection to NASCAR’s glory days, makes the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 a holy ...
The Mustang would become the best-selling convertible in 1966, with 72,119 sold, beating the number two Impala by almost 2:1. [35] The 1965 and 1966 Mustangs are differentiated by variations in the exterior, despite the similar design. These variations include the cove molding on the rear quarter panels behind the doors.

The first-generation Mustangs grew in size; the 1973 model had become markedly larger than the original model. The pony car market segment saw decreasing sales in the early-1970s "with many buyers turning to lower-priced, fuel-efficient compacts like Ford's own Ford Maverick – a huge first-year success itself."
For 1999, the Mustang was reskinned with Ford's New Edge styling theme with sharper contours, larger wheel arches, and creases in its bodywork, but its basic proportions, interior design, and chassis remained the same as the previous model. The Mustang's powertrains were carried over for 1999, but benefited from new improvements.
The Mustang's engine compartment was not wide enough to accommodate the massive Boss 429 engine, so Ford contracted with Kar Kraft of Dearborn, Michigan, to modify 4-speed Cobra Jet Mustangs to accept it. Kar Kraft was a Ford exclusive experimental facility that functioned as Vehicle Engineering for Ford's Special Vehicles.
The result was the 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra. Like the Talladega, the King Cobra was modified with aerodynamics specifically in mind and looked very different from a typical 1970 Torino. It had a sloped front end with dual headlamps located in sugar scoop shaped cut-outs on the front fenders, similar in appearance to the Datsun 240Z .
Nearly 579,000 Mavericks were produced in its first year, [12] approaching the record-setting first year of Mustang sales (nearly 619,000), [13] and easily outpaced the Mustang's sales of fewer than 200,000 in 1970. [14] Total North American Maverick production (1969–1977) reached 2.1 million units. [15]
