unrestored original 1970 Boss 429 bought at an estate sale, only 17,000 miles


Bruce Schreiner's unrestored original 1970 Boss 429 was recently acquired from an estate sale. The car had been in storage for more than 41 years, and Bruce had been after it for the past 15 years. Kevin Marti has confirmed that this car is the one and only Boss 429 that came from the factory with rear spoiler and sport slats. The car sports original paint, interior, and front tires.

Completely unmolested, this Boss 429 is all original straight down to the Goodyear rubber. All of the documentation, elite Marti Report, and Ford Motor Company stickers were included and still intact as it slept for four decades in an old, windowless garage collecting dirt and dust in every crease and crevice.

6,000 mile original owner Hemi Road Runner, stashed since 1970 when he spun a couple bearing running from the cops





That owner, Joe Grass, bought the car in September 1968, about a year after returning from his tour in Vietnam. He was 22 and working for Pontiac.

The road runner is a very stripped down model that happened to be at the dealership when he arrived, it only has three additional options: an AM radio, a Sure-Grip rear axle, and an automatic transmission.

In the summer of 1970 he was screwing around more than the cops could overlook, and when they lit him up with the gumball, he ran for it. He was chased over two hours, and finally slid into a cornfield, and eventually had the car towed to his sisters where he threw a tarp over it, and never looked back.

In the 2000's he had it towed to his place, but didn't do anything with it due to old age, and declining health. Last year he gave it to a cousin, and finally it came out of hiding for the magazine Muscle Car Review to do an article on it in the March 2015 issue
