A 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, one of fewer than 500 produced for that model year, originally delivered to a certified Michigan dealer. Built around Ford's NASCAR-derived 429-cubic-inch V-8 — assembled into the Mustang by specialist contractor Kar Kraft — the car retains its factory Calypso Coral over black livery. A comprehensive restoration was completed in the late 2000s by marque specialists, and the car subsequently earned a Concours Trailed Gold award from the Mustang Club of America.
