Holy Hemi Batman.....Its a Boss 429! 1960's Ford drag racer Al Joniec was
well known for his crazy "Batcar" A/FX Mustangs in 1965 and '66, and for his
1968 Cobra Jet Mustang SS/E Winternationals win. But Al also ran a Super
Stock/Pro Stock '69 Boss 429. The Big Boss knocked down a 9.98 @ 143-mph
with a fiberglass hood, fenders, trunk lid, doors and front bumper. It also
had a modified chassis and front drum brakes to save weight and drag.
Joe Spenelli now
owns the Boss and is currently finishing up on a three year
restoration on it. The car will be reunited with Al Joniec next July
at the
York US-30 Drag Car
Reunion in York, PA.
