Boss 429

I can tell its fairly low miles because the holes in the fender to change spark plugs haven't been drilled yet.

Hmm the Boss 429 was a hemi. Where were the holes you are referring to drilled?

I’d give my left nut and half of my right to have that in my garage.

I live in Canada. Vinyl becomes hard as rock, and cold as ice in winter. You'll still feel the cold through a towel.

oh I am aware…grew up about 100 miles from the border in northern Minnesota, but the towel at least gave your ass a chance to survive on the way to the store

Not even on those. I changed mine in about an hour and a half buy removing the shock tower braces first. The 428 PI engines in the 67 and 68 GT500s has super tall valve covers. those were a bear. Step one, remove valve covers.

AND after spending all that money. You get the comfort of genuine vinyl seats.

When was the last time anyone sat on vinyl seats from the 60's? They aren't pretty.

Yes, cloth is a lot better than leather or vinyl. The white seats aren't bad, but don't even think about sitting on black seats on a hot summer day. My convertible came with white seats. They never bothered me. I don't really like the seats in my S550 and the Challenger is just a little more comfortable. I want to change them both. I like the seats in my 70. They are really good. Could use more lumbar, but other than that they are great for simple, inexpensive car seats.

But this car is all about the engine. When you open it up, you won't be thinking about the seats.

What a beautiful spec. The orange with the black hood scoop looks great. And only 6 built? If any car deserves to sit in a museum, this is the one.

That would make you an oddball

pffffft…spent almost half my life on vinyl seats, we kept a towel behind said seat to cover it when we parked in the sun

It's been so long that I "almost" forgot how vinly seats were in the summer and winter.

70 Boss 429s came with either semi-deluxe (this car) interior, or deluxe interior which gave you the knitted vinyl (Mach 1 style) seat covers. All 69s had one interior, the Mach 1 style.

Interesting to me that Mustang only came with vinyl in this era. Mopar had optional leather inserts. GM had optional cloth inserts in some years of Camaro. Firebird 69s could be had with leather inserts, but they are very rare. I never realized that Mopar was the upscale version of the three. Goes to show that Iococca's vision of Mustang really was a cheap car for the masses. And it worked with huge volumes of sales.

Things have changed a lot and sales are a lot lower now. I have to say that I like the upscale S550 Mustangs more than I would like if they were complete bargain basement cars, but there is more standard equipment than I prefer.
