It appears this car had bigger torque than Boss 429 in Ford Mustang.

A lot of people think this car is a race car but actually Ford make it in limited number. Because Ford already used the 429 Boss in Mustang, Ford then gave this one Cobra Jet V8 instead. But to make sure some racer who wanted to buy this car impressed, Ford decide to create 429 Boss model alongside with 4 speed manual in limited number. This not listed in car ad or option. Rumor said this car is begin it life as prototype model then Ford turned it into production number 1. Only 1 car for each paint job that produced by Ford which mean 3 of them. Total production is 6 car alongside with Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II.
