Just my opinion..but Chrysler Winged cars and the Boss 429s are probably the two most significant muscle cars ever built. The Boss Nine was built to sanction the motor for NASCAR racing. Moreover, everyone knows that the cars were built at Kar Kraft, where the entire front end was modified and in large part, hand-fabricated. For me, these two facts are the reasons why Boss 429s are so collectible and historically significant. At a time when the baddest muscle cars were built on the same line as their more mundane brethren, the Boss 429s and the Winged Warriors from Mopar were sent to Kar Kraft and Creative Industries respectively for extensive modification and final assembly. Consequently, the Boss 429s and the winged cars are as close to a "hand-built" muscle car as you can get.
