1970 Boss 429 Lawman Mustang being loaded aboard the USS Coral Sea.
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.
This 1970 Boss 429 Mustang is one of the most desirable muscle vehicles on the market. They engineered this Mustang to be the most powerful of the bunch.
Back in the day, this highly rare BOSS cost $23,000 to develop.
A 7-liter V8 supercharged behemoth with close to 1000 horsepower was born, paired with an automated transmission.
They made all the parts of forged steel and aluminum.
It was the only Boss 429 with an automatic gearbox; all other Boss 429s were four-speed cars.
Collectors have maintained this SUPER BOSS 429 alive for many years.
They sold the car three times in the interim, the first time to Dennis and Kim Collins in October 2001, who later sold the Lawman to Bill Goldberg for $132,000.
The Boss 429 Mustang has been on exhibit at Bill Goldberg's Muscle Car Museum since 2004.
