CarTech CT587 1969-1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Muscle Cars In Detail No. 7 Book

The CarTech CT587 is the definitive reference book on the legendary 1969-1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, published as Volume 7 in the Muscle Cars In Detail series. This 96-page softcover guide covers the Boss 429 from bumper to bumper, including its storied 429 cubic-inch V8 engine, 4-speed Toploader transmission, interior appointments, paint codes, options, and full manufacturing history.

Authors Dan Burrill and Boss 429 expert Denny Aldridge trace the Boss 429's origins in NASCAR competition, where Ford needed a purpose-built big-block to challenge Chrysler's dominant 426 Hemi. Ford, working alongside specialty builder Kar-Kraft, faced the extraordinary challenge of shoehorning the massive semi-hemispherical engine into the compact Mustang fastback—an engineering feat that produced what many consider Ford's greatest big-block muscle car.

Book Contents Include:

• Historical overview and design background of the Boss 429 program
• In-depth coverage of the Boss 429 engine, 4-speed Toploader transmission, and drivetrain
• Interior, trim, and equipment details
• Paint and option codes for 1969 and 1970 model years
• VIN and build tag decoders
• Production numbers and market value overview
• 124 color illustrations throughout

Each volume in the Muscle Cars In Detail series delivers an introduction, historical context, marketing overview, hardware study, and a look at the car's current collector market standing. This is an essential reference for Boss 429 enthusiasts, restorers, and collectors.
