Been in the process of making my 2006 Mustang look like John Wick’s 1969 Mustang.
Currently working on the interior. Normally it’s grey, I’m making it black with wood grain wrap on some of the panels.

Often we see comparisons between brands, a tactic that normally has the Ford guys vote Ford, Chevy guys vote Chevy and so on.
Here is a comparison between two iconic muscle cars from 1969, the 428 Cobra Jet(top) vs the Boss 429(bottom).
There was a time that the Boss was not only my choice but also my favorite car of all time. As I've aged, the Cobra Jet has leveled up to the Boss.
Which one do you like better?

1970 Boss 429 Mustang
In 1970, lawyer and drag racer Al Eckstrand put together a Lawman Racing Team, consisting of two 780hp Boss 429 Mustang drag cars and six 428 Cobra Jet Mach 1s, to tour U.S. military facilities around the world. It was during the Vietnam War, and servicemen were happy to see some of the musclecars from back home.
Two Lawman Boss 429s were built, one for Eckstrand demonstrations in Southeast Asia and the other for use as a show car in Europe.
The first car was destroyed at sea when an 8-ton ship container fell on it (possibly the USS Coral Sea, ID 43).
So, Eckstrand hastily finished the second car, which was flown by Air Force transport to the south Pacific.
Over the next three years, the Lawman United States Performance Team performed demonstrations to an audience of over 240,000 servicemen.
In 1999, Eckstrand reacquired the Lawman Boss 429 from Sam Eidy, who had purchased the car and maintained it as a tribute to Eckstrand.
