I had a 69 with a 429. It was a fastback, real sleeper. No emblems except for the fender Mustang logo. The only giveaway was the rear tires were twice as wide as the fronts. The smoke shows were impressive.

It was the second fastest car in Hartford, CT...the 426 Hemi in a Charger was the only thing it wouldn't beat.

Once upon a time (early to mid '90s) I had a '70 Cougar that I drag raced, with a stout 351C. I sold the 351C to my brother (it still resides in his '70 Fairlane) with plans to install a built 460 with aluminum heads and all the usual goodies to make a killer street/strip car. Then toward the end of the '90s, a friend made me an offer I couldn't refuse on the rolling chassis, and went on to restore it. The 460 lives on a stand in my shop, waiting for something awesome to happen with it. Most likely the block and crank will be used in my brother's Boss 429 clone that he'll probably never finish before we're both dead.

I love street cars with parachutes. Car was local to me until it was sold to the gentleman in TX who owns it now, never did get a ride in it.  :(

Drool. I'd love to have that one alongside my own '67, which I've owned since 1986.  [drool]
