Up on eBay is an extremely rare 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, packing just 2,219-miles on the odometer with a starting bid of $185,000. The '69 Boss 429 is one of just 858 made during a two-year production run.

Powered by a 429-cubic inch NASCAR motor with 375-hp, this Boss 429 Mustang was made into a 1/4-mile drag car and primarily ran races along the the east coast and was a 10.50-second car with a top speed of 118-mph on the quarter mile. The motor was recently rebuilt and everything on the car is 100-percent matching. And despite Ford rating the motor at 375-hp, it was widely believed it produced a lot closer to 500-hp.

Even more remarkable is the fact that this particular car was once featured in a drag racing magazine back in 1970 some of us weren't even born yet.

Now this is a 10-second car worth owning, Dom.

wonder if ALL 2219 miles were done in 1/4 mile passes! LOL!

My cousin has a 69 with the 429 in it with matching numbers. It's what gave ME the bug.

Sweet looking ride, but that's a LOT of cash!

If I going to list a boss 429 for 185K I might think about removing the Keystone Classic/rear mags and replacing with period correct wheels and tires for a start. I am sure that odometer has never been tampered with.

What about the engine bay? Dual quads, Mallory ignition components, etc., etc. Being an old thrashed racecar with no significant history does not enhance value. It's an urban legend that Ford underrated the horsepower at 375. I was 16 in '69. In, shall we say, Barrett Jackson condition, they ran high 13's, slightly slower than a 428 Cobra Jet.
