1/64 AFX Mega-G+ 1970 Mustang Boss 429/org

The Boss 429 is arguably one of the rarest muscle cars ever.  Built to make it possible
for Ford to develop a Hemi engine to compete with Chrysler in NASCAR,
they built 1,358 of the cars between 1969 and 1970. This satisfied the homologation rules requiring at least 500 cars be fitted with the Hemi motor.

Officially rated at 375HP, the Boss 429 was generally agreed to put out around 500
HP.  Wow!

This is the 1970 model
with the trademark oversized flat black hood scoop and Boss 429 logo on
the front fenders.  Slowing sales and high production costs
caused Ford to end production at the end of the year.  But
they sell for over $500,000 in the present day.

Mega
G+ Chassis

This new Mega G+ chassis doesn’t just
go faster or handle better than the competition. And it
doesn’t just have the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the
original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on
earth. It’s smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than
any car we’ve ever built.

We wanted wheel to wheel racing, lap after lap, the
feel of driving a real car. But we couldn’t do
it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new
system…
