    He'll have that set on his shelf for a while.

    Never seen anyone dissassemble a rear axle at a show so that someone can read the numbers on the ring gear. :biglaugh:

    Case in point ... a buddy of mine has a "numbers matching" AMX, and I would say that car in reality is close to 400 horse. Bigger cam, ported heads, forged pistons with a bit more squeeze ... but it looks really stock. ;)

    Its Boss 429 parts, big money. If you can afford a Boss 429, $1200 is nothing.

    3.91 gears were used in other vehicles that just B429...

    Sorry seller, but a set of NOS gears will never make $0.02 difference in the value of any car originally equipped with a 3.91 as long as it has 3.89s in it.

    That's just silly.

    If a car is good enough for a 100% judging, it didn't get there because the judges made sure it had Ford gears...
