68..i have driving my 65 more lately..but the 65 looks more girly especailly the tail light panel..the 68 tail light panel which the curve inward in all looks cooler......maybe it is the poppy red color that makes it good girly on the 65

Well, I truthfully have not made a 1/4 mi pass with the upgrades,but when I bought it in 1969 I put on headers,some distributor work,and borrowed some slicks and ran a 12.48 at 116 mph.The engine now dynos at 600 hp so if I can get it to hook up I'm thinking 10's. What do you think!! Personally,I like the Boss 351's but you could have also gotten a 429SCJ in 1971.There is still no substitute for cubic inches! Its unfortunate that Ford had to detune all the really good engines.If they had offered a dual quad option in 1969 nothing would have gotten by a stock Boss 429. Just my 2 cents ( And you should here this thing sing at 7000 rpm)4MuscleMachines said:If we do lunch with him, we'll need to pick him up since our 351 Boss cars would have already eaten his early for breakfast!
No prob!! I like them all,but I am out of garage space.I consider myself fortunate to have been able to buy the Boss new and hang onto it.In 1969 there were muscle cars everywhere and we raced all the time.The Boss held its own back in the day and it was a lot of fun.Today I wouldn't dare street race it today,but I might bolt on a set of traction masters and some drag radials just to get it into the 10's for bragging rights .4MuscleMachines said:Just having some fun 69Boss429, I truly like your car...you have to always respect a 429 whether stock or modified, respect it not only performance wise but moreso for its heritage and $$. Mine traps in the high 11's @ typically 118's on an old set of drag radials.
