Description

1 of 859 Boss 429s built for 1969.<br><br>This is one of the most original Boss 429s you'll find today. KK 1877 is a Black Jade SportsRoof with the Deluxe interior, a 4-speed and a 3.91 Traction-Lok. It still has its original numbers-matching engine, transmission and third member, and has just 13,670 original miles. It was authenticated by Boss 429 specialist Lyle Essick. His report confirms that the buck tag on the radiator support, the dash ID plate and the left door ID plate all carry the correct VIN. You can still see the original Kar Kraft chalk markings and hood rotation number "83" from when these cars were built.<br><br>This is an original paint car, and a paint meter shows thin factory paint over most of the body. Only three or four small spots were blended for minor scratches. All the sheet metal is original to the car, including the front fenders with their correct rolled lips and date codes, and the front valance. It's completely rust free, and the factory pinch weld blackout is still on the rockers and trunk drop-offs, which almost never survives. The details are what set this car apart. It has the original stainless capped lug nuts, which are very rare today, plus the Dearborn-only radiator cap, the original battery, the KKX front spindles and the original Magnum wheels and caps. The engine oil cooler and air cleaner snorkel are original and correct, and so are the door sweeps, the Deluxe seat belts and the trunk mat with its proper 7.75 B.F. Goodrich spare, fill bottle, jack and lug wrench. Even the headlight aimers are still in their original plastic bag.<br><br>The car comes with a large group of correct original parts that were taken off. These include the rare C9ZF-D distributor, the dated C9ZE-F fan, the smog and power steering assemblies, the shifter and linkage, the belts and hoses, the numbered fuel pump and the correct master cylinder. There's also an original front spoiler that was never installed. Original paperwork comes with it, and the appraiser believes the original build sheet is likely still under the carpet. An untouched, numbers-matching, original paint Boss 429 like this is about as good as it gets.<br><br>Report available upon request.
