That still hurts - mine has 1800 original miles. Nice to see they brought the Grabber Blue color back.
Did you measure the frame yet to see if it is tweaked?

Holy guacamole Batman!! When you first posted, I didn't see your sig, so I was thinking you had a Boss 302.

Dooooooooooooooooooooooood! You have a Boss 429! I hate to ask, since the miles tell me it surely is, but that's an original 429, not a clone, right?

Link to pictures, please!

Yes an original but the motor was stolen within the first 3 months off the lot. The car stayed in the garage that way for 20 years. A friend of my brothers bought it with the idea of putting it back to original ( the original owner tried to put in a 428 CJ). He took the car apart to redo everything then had a kid, sat this way for a couple of years then he had twins. He contacted my brother (1995) and I bought it. Two truck load of parts and a tow truck later it made it home, of course the guy did not label anything (he is a engine builder by trade) 5 years later and it is back together - mostly. Still have a few missing parts - snorkle, smog pump, ect... The motor that is in it is 2 serial numbers off of the cars number. I will try to post some photo's.

Wow, awesome Mustang. I have heard quite a few of the Boss 429 motors were stolen when they first came out. Real nice people in the world.

Wondered where you went. What happened to your old nickname? You are the one who painted their 460 green right?
