![]() Today's Car of the Day is Greenlight's 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. ![]()
![]() For more info, visit Ford Mustang Boss 429 ![]() The '70 Boss 429 is my all-time favorite Mustang, it is a dream of mine to one day own one. Fat chance I suppose. Of course I would take the '69 as well. ![]() I think the Greenlight version of this car is excellent, it captures the muscular lines very well. The car looks ready to tear up the strip, even in 1/64!

No complaints on this car. Greenlights are very well executed castings! |

Love those GL Mustangs... I have a Green Machine, the black version and the orange version of the 69 Boss 429... I also have the Boss 302 versions of the same casting in yellow, orange, and white... Awesome castings... The best in my book !!! |

Another Green light product and another win, another Ford Mustang and another win, .............ho hummm, another diecast manufacturer that is few and far between here in canuck land.
On a positive note three thumbs up for the young Jedi, he certainly was using "The Force" this week.

I think it might mean that Dennis might trade his Camaro in for a Mustang.

As noted in the comments, this was the overall weekly winner of Rob's Car Of The Day showcase ten years ago this week. It had some strong competition, but GreenLight really was one of the best in the game a decade ago. They still are, but the competition has upped the ante in the last decade. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I like all the Greenlight Mustangs. I buy as many as I can afford at the time I see them. |

The only place I have ever seen GL at retail is TrU....and with them closing the only source I am aware of would be online. Almost all of the GL I have came from right here at Swifty's. I can't see the pics right now, but I wasn't aware the 429 Mustang was so rare (500 copies). I do remember them on the street when I was in High School, I vaguely recall a white one running around town... |

It was the 1970 model that only had 500 examples made. For 1969 there were another 900 or so. Still a rare beast, they can fetch around $300k today. I'd buy one if I had that kind of money. |

Nice one - it would be so nice if GL had more retail presence - majority of the ones in my collection come from on-line dealers. |

An excellent thread to revisit. One of the GL castings that I have always really liked. ![]() ![]() Above is a Boss 429 Green Machine. Illustrated below is a 1969 Custom Mustang Green Machine. It should be noted that an error occurred and the Boss 302 casting was used by mistake. ![]() ![]() Thank you for reviving the thread. Cheers. Cobra |
