The purpose of the Boss 429 Mustang World Registry is to gather and compile accurate historical information about these rare Nascar Mustangs. The registry was established in 1974 by Stephen B. Strange, and with the help of the Ford Motor Company, Kar-Kraft engineers Fran Hernandez & Don Eichstaedt, and enthusiasts the world over; have been able to put together correct historical details, photographs, and statistics about the famous Boss 429 Mustang. We still need your help though, in gathering missing information & photos about the program. Today, we are working on publishing a complete Boss 429 Mustang World Registry book, ISBN 0-931417-04-X, scheduled for publication later this year.

Kar-Kraft as it looked in May of 1969. Located in Brighton, Michigan, here Boss 429 Mustangs were hand-assembled, for shipment to selected Ford Dealers, all over the United States.

Why the big disparity in price on Boss 429 & Shelby GT Mustangs?
Some cars do well at auction…others are stuck in the mud!
After almost 55 years of owning & tracking these KK cars…
we know why…it’s REAL collector car appeal!…
Quality cars, usually go into multi-car deep pocket collections…
With KK Boss 429’s, you gotta know where you’re at, so you know where you’ve been…
Example: Bonafide REAL KK matching number low-mileage survivor car…
with provenance history and all the right component parts…
can easily add $150K-$200K to value!
Investment collectors need to be WARY of the drivetrain and component parts…
Is this vehicle Ford numbers matching?
Are the rare dated components, really there?
Are there clever restorer restamps that don’t jive with the KKX and EF dates?
And then you will probably know, where you will be heading!
TWB3 once remarked “you can never pay too much for the right car”…
IOW…you may buy early before the market finally catches-up!

We’ve been hitting a few high-end collector car concours events…
Wynn Concours, Pebble-Beach, “big britches” show & shine events…
and we feel quite confident that quality survivor KK 429 Mustangs…
with all the RIGHT STUFF components…(no cheap BS crap)…
will be heading vertical!…In our opinion…

The “Right Stuff” that’s what the astronauts called it when going to the moon…
that’s exactly what Steve Strange calls it too…the “Right Stuff components”…
when taking your KK Boss 429 Mustang to the moon (auction price wise).
All other effort is what is called a “vinnie”, so cheap ya’ squeak!
and it will come right back at YOU come auction block sale time.
Example: We recently viewed a car the seller claims lots of NOS parts, NOS fender decals, except they were installed in the wrong position on the fenders!
C’mon man, we’ve had the original Kar-Kraft assembly-line blueprints with exact measurements in our last book! This kind of complacent disregard by any restorer
effects the whole genre!…AND YOUR KK Mustang’s bottom line!
