Ford lost money selling Boss 429 Mustangs. It was estimated that Ford lost about $1000 on each car. That's $7,033 in todays money and Ford built a total of 1357 Boss 429 Mustangs.
The new rule for NASCAR was; you needed to build 500 production cars with a new engine before it would be allowed to be raced. 857 in 1969 and 500 in 1970.
BTW: Those are the tires used on the 1970 Boss 429.
