    Hello,
    I'm new to this web site. Just bought a 1971 Maverick that was once a factory sponsored Boss 429 car. Former owner claims the car was never licenced for the street, only ran quarter mile for it's entire life.
    Car comes with a boss 351 engine/C6.
    I wish I could track down someone who can verify previous owners claims.
    Thanks,
    Bigwindowjim

    There were a few of those cars. Can you give us more info? Pics? Shock tower pics would be great too! I have some good photos of one of the Boss 429 race cars.

    Here's the bad news, the former owner cut out the sheet metal from the firewall forward and the floor in order to install a Chris Alston Chassis.
    So I don't have any spring tower pics.

    Thanks,

    Really dramatic tower changes needed to fit that monster in the bay but beautiful craftsmanship :thumbs2:

    View attachment 51481 Sorry to disappoint anyone, but all I have is a picture from 17 years ago and a new photo from the previous owners garage with the car sitting on top of a Chris Alston funny car chassis. As I start putting the car together, I will post more pictures.
