And I can't imagine Yes, I've got a very large collection, but early in my life, my teens and my 20s, yeah, I was Mustang crazy.
Rick SchmidtGUEST
My dream car was a 1969 Boss 429, which even back then was unobtainium to me.
Rick SchmidtGUEST
So then I was like, but a 69 Mach 1, that was my realistic dream car that I could achieve somehow.
Rick SchmidtGUEST
So, yeah, I'll admit that I was pretty much a Mustang and a 70s Trans Am nut.
Robert M. KennedyGUEST

Robert M. KennedyGUEST
So it may not have been the Boss 429 that enthusiasts were wishing hadn't gone away, but it was the car that was needed to keep the nameplate from, from going away.
Robert M. KennedyGUEST
'Cause, frankly, if, if Mustang had died then, Camaro Firebird would've died as well, almost for certain.

Jim SmartGUEST
There's so many stories circulating about it.
Jim SmartGUEST
And when you mentioned Boss 429s.
Jim SmartGUEST
What I want to know is were they assembled at Dearborn Assembly as rolling bodies, and then they went to Car Craft and they installed the Boss 429 engines.
Jim SmartGUEST
So I feel like they went to Car Craft as completed rolling bodies, and then they installed the powertrain.
