18. 1969 Boss 429 Mustang
Want one of the fastest American muscle cars ever made with a limited production run? Well, look no further than the Boss 429. Only 1,358 originals were produced. The engine was a derivative of the old Ford 385. It had a four bolt main mount, steel crank and steel rods. However, the modified Hemi chamber created enough horsepower to easily send you barreling towards your destination. The engines generated a conservative 375 hp, but the actual output is more than 500hp. Some individuals have even claim to garner 600 hp or more depending on how you coax the engine. It just goes to show why Mustang reigns king in the muscle car world. There may be vehicles that are more sporty, but you can’t get as much power from those as you can from a Mustang. It’s what happens when you outfit a car with a 7.0 L engine.
