Ford built the original Boss 429 as a limited-production Mustang in 1969 and 1970, aiming squarely at the heavyweight end of the muscle car world. More than half a century later, Florida-based Revology has revived the Boss 429 name, but this time a bit differently. IN tradtional Mustang restomod style, the original design stays intact, even its iconic five-spoke wheels, but everything beneath the skin has been rebuilt with modern engineering – and the result comes with a price to match.

Even up close, the restomod looks indistinguishable from the original Boss 429. But beneath that Lava Orange paint sit newly stamped steel panels assembled with contemporary welding and curing techniques. The iconic look remains intact, but the structure is entirely new and considerably more rigid, and Revology didn’t stop there. Updated subframes, a reworked chassis, and a completely modern suspension setup transform the way the car drives, turning what was once a rowdy ’60s muscle car into something much more precise.

The 1969 Boss 429 earned its legend through its enormous 7.0-liter V8, a homologation motor built for NASCAR. Revology’s version honors its power-hungry spirit, but has a new standard to live up to. The saying “there’s no replacement for displacement” has become outdated thanks to forced induction. Under its hood sits a supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8 – borrowed from the current Mustang GT – that delivers 710 hp and can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic.
A Price Tag That Reflects Its Craftsmanship

The new body, upgraded hardware, bespoke engineering, and hands-on labor push it firmly into premium territory. And that’s not even to mention the overhauled interior, drowning in premium leather and wood. Whether it justifies its $395,000 price is up for debate, especially when the 815-hp Mustang GTD and other modified Boss 429s cost less. But restomods like this aren’t made for mass appeal, nor do they have to make sense from a value perspective. They exist for the few buyers who want the soul of a classic Ford Mustang wrapped in the capability of a modern performance car – Revology’s Mustang Boss 429 restomod does exactly that.
