Paul Walker’s 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Heading To Mecum

Fast and Furious fan or not, this car is amazing. Paul Walker had quite the collection of vehicles and amongst it was this 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. The car has original sheetmetal and drivetrain with less than 15k miles.

And now, the car is heading to the Mecum auction block (Lot R460) in Indy on Saturday, July 18th. This Raven Black 1969 Boss 429 has just 14,575 original miles and still wearing its factory body panels. The “KK” in its KK 1773 serial number stands for Kar-Kraft, the Ford subcontractor that built all the Boss 429s due to the time- and labor-intensive nature of the work required to fit Ford’s massive semi-hemi 429 CI V-8 into the Mustang’s engine bay.

The 820-T engine in this Mustang is original, routing its 375 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque through the original close-ratio Toploader 4-speed manual transmission to a 3.91-geared Traction-Lok rear end.

All Boss 429s were equipped with what Ford called a “competition type” suspension consisting of heavy-duty springs and shock absorbers, as well as thick sway bars front and rear. Power steering was standard, as were power front disc brakes. Kar-Kraft reshaped the Mustang’s fender lips a bit to clear the F60-15 bias-ply tires that were mounted on 15×7 Magnum 500 wheels (with flat black inserts, a treatment found only on Boss 429s).

This Boss Nine’s interior features black vinyl high-back bucket seats, an AM radio and the Deluxe Décor group, which added wood-grain vinyl appliques to the dashboard and center console. Color-keyed outside mirrors and a wide-open hood scoop—the better to ram air into the hungry Boss motor beneath—were about the only “racy” exterior cues to the Boss 429’s NASCAR heritage.
