Revology showed off its version of the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, bringing the old muscle car back to life with modern technology. Revology’s Boss 429 has a Coyote supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine that can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic gearbox. It makes 710 powerful horsepower. Even though it starts at a pricey $395,000, the Revology Boss 429 has already sold more than half of its production capacity for next year, according to the car company. Revology, a business that makes replicas of 1960s Ford Mustangs, just unveiled its version of the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. At auctions these days, working Boss 429s can easily fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars. The reasoning doesn’t come as a surprise. Sources say fewer than 1,000 429 engines were made for NASCAR use in the 1969 model year. Plus, it looks great. But that’s a lot of money to give away if you can find a good example of a car from five decades ago. What Revology can do is help with this. Revology’s Boss 429 combines modern tech with the original’s tough design. Revology does not restore and change pre-existing antique cars like some other restomod companies do. Instead, it makes its cars from the ground up, using strong crate engines. The 429-cubic-inch V-8 engine in the first car produced 375 horsepower when new. Revology could have used a similar engine, but instead chose a supercharged Ford Coyote 5.0-liter V-8 with 710 horsepower. Either a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission can be used with the current engine. The car has a brand-new steel body, making it stronger than its 1960s model. The front suspension uses two wishbones, and the body features an aluminum subframe. For the back of the car, there are three links, a torque arm, and a panhard rod. A rack-and-pinion system with hydraulic power controls the steering, and discs mounted around the car stop it. The interior is a beautiful blend of modern construction standards and elegant 1960s style. The seats, the double-hump dashboard, and the rest of the car are all lined with high-quality leather. The round dials and wood-framed dash clock are a nod to the past. It costs a lot to buy the Revology Boss 429. It costs more than many other high-quality models on the market, with a starting price of $395,000. Revology says, though, that many of their clients don’t have these kinds of problems. The builder believes the current Revology owners have already bought more than half of the 50 units to be built next year.
