The first 1969 Mustang Boss 429 was acquired by the prominent Ford collector Richard Ellis about 15 years ago. He had to make the tough decision whether to restore the muscle car to its original Raven Black appearance or resurrect it as a drag racer. Check out the video to learn the entire story of this glorious Boss 9 Mustang from Gary Riley of Level One restorations, and Ford historians Ed Meyer and Bob Perkins.
