    Legs are shorter on the fast back version, and I believe closer together then MOPAR. But I believe the same original company made the for FOMOCO and MOPAR. I believe the ones used on cougars have correct leg height, but I am not sure about spacing.

    These mustangs get a bad rap but I think because of their lower re-sale value you can get a lot of car for the money. I also think they are going to climb in value. Whats a 429 69 or 70 mustang going for? Some of these came 429 too and 4 speed.

    Might even look good with mini-lites since it's the rim that looks good on everything lol.

    Mustang wings/Mopar wings, I have heard they are close but not identical.

    To the best of my recollection, the Boss429 mustangs were the only ones that came with 429 'semi hemis'. A friend has a 69 -428 Mustang sitting idle for over 15 years in his garage. :(
    After the Mopar B & E body cars, the '69 mustang is at the top of my list.

                         69 and 70 Boss 429 Mustangs are in Hemi Challenger/Cuda territory price wise.   :rebel:

    Watched a 69 Boss 429 cross the block at BJ in 2009 for 65 grand. Should have bought it!
