Legendary American Muscle Cars

7. 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429

Muscle car manufacturers were not shy about boasting in the names of their offerings; with a moniker like Boss, one can expect that the 1970 Mustang could pack a punch. Its gigantic engine was originally designed and approved for use in NASCAR; at 375 horsepower and 450 pound-foot of torque, it was so large that the hood had to be specially modified to physically fit it in the engine compartment. This car is so special today because only 859 of them were manufactured.
