REVan Evan and Abe Tango go for a ride with Jack Roush in his personal 1969 Boss 429 Mustang, which he's owned since 1971. Jack tells some great stories about how he got the Boss and he invites us for a ride.

A legend? Big badass cars do not matter....what matters in life is people and how you treat them. Jack is only a man who worked his life away getting rich off of his employees he mistreated due to his overblown ego. You all would have a different tune if you all knew the person Jack really was off camera.

If a man of his age can get down in a manual, there is absolutely no excuse for you younger people. Hop in a car with 3 pedals, not 2 pedals and not 2 PADDLES. It makes you such a better driver, you learn more respect for the vehicle, your surroundings and yourself because you connect with the vehicle.

I was a 60s Chevy muscle car guy. And I loved watching this and hearing Jack talk. Back n '69, I saw 1 of these Boss 429's and a 396/375 Nova race 3 different ways 1 night.....Boss won each by a little over 1 car length. Both were 4 speeds. I was disappointed the Chevy didn't win, but the Boss was a sight to behold..... I still remember it like it was just last week.

Funny story...back in 69 or 70 my father had a car identical to this. One day while driving it he saw a truck broke down on I believe 322 in southington ct. My father pulled over to see if he could help. It ended up being Jack Roush and Jack absolutely loved the car. He often wonders if that encounter influenced his decision to purchase this car.

The Ford de-tuning of my Boss 429 was revised in 1971 by Speed Specialties of St. Petersburg, FLA. I think the rear was 391 traction lock from Ford. With G60-15 tires, I ran "A" stock at Sunshine Dragway on the weekend and NEVER lost a race. It was awesume as no other street cars approached the high 11's at that time. Exhaust pipes were cut out each side of the car with caps for normal driving. Miss the old days !
@fernandochaves9665 Жыл бұрын
Wow. Lots of anecdotes for sure. It makes me wonder what would have happened if Ford had pushed the Boss 9 to its full potential. Could have been the fastest car in the muscle car wars. You raced against all the bad boys then? (428 cobra jet, chevelle LS6, hemi mopars, buick gsx, etc.)

I spotted the red Boss 429 sitting on the showroom floor and that’s where I spent the next two hours. Being subscriber to (S/S & Drag Illustrated) I knew what the car was. I made all kinds of promises and almost begged my Dad to buy it for me. I knew it was hopeless when he opened the hood and saw that Hemi. It nearly took his breath away. My uncle did get a new six cylinder Maverick though. Haha

Jack Roush is amazing an icon amoung legends. one of the most incredible engine builders in all of auto racing. he always used the technique of reading spark plugs to know exactly how the engine is performing. in fact he was a master at being able to read plugs better than anyone. he probably no doubt has cornered the market with all the Roush built vehicles that are out there. and the endless supply of Roush performance parts that were and still are available. and he's not only an awesome automotive enthusiast. (I'm guessing he still has it) but he owns a P51 Mustang aircraft. yep that Boss 429 Mustang is one hell of a nice car. I would really love to get the opportunity to get to meet him that would AWESOME by itself. but if he asked me if I would like to drive his car I would be floored no doubt.
@bobkonradi10279 ай бұрын
At one time Jack Roush was a dyno operator in the hi-performance development department at Ford. I believe his drag racing partner from back in the 1960s-80s, Wayne Gapp, was also working in the hi-performance department. They got together and ran the Gapp and Roush Pintos, Mustangs and Mavericks in Pro Stock. His most memorable Pro Stock car was a Maverick 4dr sedan, the "Tijuana Taxi." The NHRA had a weight break for cars over a certain wheelbase, the 2drs didn't have enough wheelbase, but the Maverick 4drs did, and so they ran it, and won a lot of races. So he learned a lot of tricks about seeing what worked, and what to look for, when developing hi-po cars.

I remember the street scene in the 60s and 70s. I wasn't old enough to drive in the 60s but was a car nut because of how cool they looked and bad ass they sounded as one would pull up next to you at a stop light. In the early 60s I was a little kid but I knew the 57 Chevy would be a classic even before it was a classic. My parents knew I was crazy about the 57' Chevy so for Christmas around 64' or 65' we got a Motorific Detroit Torture Track slot car set and got me a separate extra car which was a 57 chevy. Don't know what the Motorific set is about, check it out on YT.
