wow...25 years ago, if the same guy owned it.. he wouldve been in his mid 30s. i was about 15-16 when i saw the car and met him around 88ish. i was totally obsessed with it. and he was real knowledgeable about the car and olds. What are the odds that its the same car? pretty good id say. he only took it to cruise nights..and even then it was rare. it was by far the best H/O in the Buffalo area.

side note: the first time i saw the car he left the cruise night, and lit it up. smoke pouring off the tires thru the first 3 gears and swinging... we heard the 4th gear chirp and saw the tailights wiggle a little bit. that has been burned in memory , i can still see it.

The original motor was refreshed and reassembled and dyno'ed up to 5k. It went to one of the big auction houses.

I havent seen that Cuda in twenty years.. last time I saw it, it was driving down the 400 getting off at the Union exit.

You only have part of the story right it wasn’t in Marilla . It was in Elma and it was not in the shed. There is a good story about it y it disappeared for so many years.

When did it go to auction? 13k miles Black/Black 429 was probably worth some change even a decade ago.

If I recall, a member here owns a low-mile original paint black 429 mustang. Wonder if it is the same car?

It left western New York in 2013. It was sold as a used car at Delaware sports car used car dealer in Buffalo in the early 70s on Delaware Avenue between Hertel and Tacoma. I lived behind the lot on the next street.

a few more pics of the Boss 9 when it got to musclecar alley. Its kinda crazy because this car was a mile from my friends house and he drove past it for 20 years never knowing the owner or that the car was in his shed. The owner contacted him by word of mouth that he was a restoration guy.

Back in 1972 this black boss 429 was sold from Delaware sports car on Delaware Avenue between Hertel and Tacoma. From there, the new owner took it to Elma and I looked at it in 1978 off Bowen Road. Right after that, the car Disappeared and then soon was recovered And sold to a good friend of mine , it was then put away for 30 years then we brought it back out and decided to sell it.

I have a friend who worked for delaware sports cars in the 1970s, he did engine work for the Ferraris they sold new/used. ill give him a call and see what if he knows about that Boss and the other stuff they sold.
