My grandpa, Robert penner, who passed a few years ago, great god fearing man, built and raced this mustang, crazy to see where it ended up and happy that gas monkey garage has it
@@heatherperyea9301I totally agree bring him back…. Richard Rawlings Definitely would have to pay for his “”Relocation”” costs and also get Jason and his family a House….
Bro, the new GMG is an actual production, it feels like we're actually watching the show, totally in control of the OG himself and no timelines, or seasons ending, or series ending, this is why the interwebs is cool
That's my hometown, I grew up with the Penner Family, my Dad worked with for their Plumbing company. Ford Dealership was across the street from the Police Station. Great People! Love the Boss 429!! @Gas Monkey Garage
Car Guy, Ford Guy, anything Old School Guy, I watched this with tears in my eyes. Absolutely Wonderous! That right there gives a hole new meaning to ' Bring the Thunder'.
Hats of the gentleman you bought it from keeping it all together and stored away safe n sound. Wicked cool find and thank goodness GMG is finding these gems.
Book of Revelations says what is to come. Expect it. You are watching a world turn away from God and live for themselves. The god of this world is roaming and devouring, but he cannot devour those who trust in God. Save your own soul and spread the good news to any who will listen.
In 1988 I was in USCG and so was a friend,we were both on orders to a station from alaska.He was from Orrville Cali and I visited,I had a 1971 ss454 chevelle and he had a Boss 302-70.His dad had a friend with a Boss 429 in Garage on blocks and under 1k miles,it was his sons that died in Viet-Nam,he left it as a memorial basicaly.That would be a great car and was in climate control,lot of young men came home on leave or between tours and bought muscle cars.
@@scotty197878 Running a big block like that with over 650hp, the right trans with a trans brake, and 10-inch slicks, It is possible to carry the front tires 60ft, but what I've found is a 15 to 20ft wheelie feels like 60ft to a lot of people. lol.
@@letsgotomarsman To me, Looking at certain things I personally think it has a lot more than 1382 miles on it. Maybe when they took the 4-speed manual out of it the odometer gear/cable wouldn't work in the automatic trans they put in it. But by the shape the body is in, I'd say it seems to have been kept inside and never been out in the weather much. Either way, for what it is, the shape it's in, and having all number matching parts with it, It could have 113,000 on it and it would still be worth a lot of money. Especially to the right person, like a major collector.
I’ve seen this time and again. People buy things thinking they’ll pass them on to their kids or grandkids and the kids/grand kids have no interest in it. Don’t buy things thinking you’ll pass them on. Buy them because you enjoy them and use the bulk of the money to build memories, trips, experiences.
I have to agree. Josh was wasted at fired up garage. He’s proved himself time and time again to be a fantastic mechanic and welder and has a great ‘tv’ personality.
I remember seeing this car on the dragstrip on the cover of hot Rod magazine.. im living in New Zealand and had that magazine... what a wonderful car!!!!! 👍
Alan from Dallas. I thought I heard built 3/14/69, that is the day I turned 7. My friends MOM bought a 1969 when I was in first grade and I said I would buy one when I grow up. We'll 1979 I did 351 w, Jade Green w/white interior paid $1100. Wish I had not totaled it. Thank You Richard.
Well Done ! It is great to see that there are still old muscle cars hiding across the country. The engine compartment is quite the challenge for clearance (the chain) as I recall from the early '70's.
I am a FORD guy, I have a EARLY 65 (has factory 64 hood and headlight buckets) HIPO K code (low mile race car, with cut fenders). But, AT THIS POINT, even a AMC gremlin, is kinda cool.
Im a Ford guy but also love many GM and mopar cars, but i concur, this is a holy grail vehicle. What a magnificent story. Id love to see what Richard did with it.
Richard nice snag, i hope the bleep dollar moment satisfied both parties and you didnt lowball the great custodian of a classic so big respect. Even better would be you add it to your personal collection rather than tv flip it for profit deal. That car is special. I love what you do, hunt them but it fix it save it. i wish you well, job well done. I hope you can make it about take your time and do it right and properly save the classics, and occasionally let the big auction houses make you famous. Best wishes from Australia, home of the Falcon XB hardtop, thats my ride. Love your show.
Richard needs to hit up this guy I know in Jackson Nebraska. Man this guy has road runners, Mach 1s, novas, Chevelles, RT chargers. All in barns collecting dust. When I visited my friend he showed my his dads car collection. When I tell you this guy has a bunch of cars. I was shocked to see the amount he had
No history if you don’t have a boat load of trophies to go with it and a signature of a recognizable name on the car. Say if this was Richard Petty’s race car back in the day or dealt with any by the last name of Force…by all means keep it a race car but because it isn’t that - I don’t see the race history bringing it much but the mileage and no rain and easily brought to original condition, that makes it a top 500 Barrett Jackson car
no better way of playing your cards close to your chest than jumping out of the rental saying "WOW" and "That's really cool" in front of the sellers🤣😂🤣😂
@@racingrivalsaddict3370 And like they said in the video, he sold it off for tax reasons. His son now has 2 or 3 of the other cars he built. The Penner Brothers were my great uncles Robert and Art Penner.
That had to be one if the easiest deals I've seen. The seller was genuine, knew his stuff, and knew it was a fair price. On top of that Richard sold it for a profit almost immediately.
I had a 1970 Mercury Cyclone, 429 CJ, 4 Speed when I was 16-17 in the 80's... It was my dad's car originally. It was no boss, but I also had to chain down the engine because I kept destroying motor mounts. 🤣🤣
We also chained my granny's 275hp 327ci engine down in her old grocery getter station wagon..The kids they loved it before putting the chain on cause at night time we'd floor it and the engine would pop up and yank the battery and sparks came flying out lol.
Guys a super nice guy and not trying to take down on him, but I’m sure these guys felt the same way I do watching this video because he is trying to explain things about the car that he doesn’t quite understand but is talking about the parts like he’s an expert. Again not throwing shade but thier where so many moments when I just had to shake my head a bit listening to him explain certain mods done to the car knowing what I’m actually looking at or what he’s trying to brag about. Much love and respect to you sir for holding on to the car and keeping it great shape overall for a car that’s basically been sitting for 30 years
Everyone from the git go, knew Richard Rawlins was just goin to flip it, as is... But hey, it's all good! We still love him... Subbed, and always a thumbs up!
Wow, this is the best Gas Monkey episode! If it was me and I know it might not be the best money play. I would have the original engine and trans completely gone through and put together so they could easily be installed. Then I would do whatever is necessary to the existing race drivetrain to have it operating perfectly then maybe do a super detail on the car and leave it in race livery. Maybe trailer it to a few meets every year so folks could see what they were racing back in the day. Normally I totally like original as sold back then cars but this one is pretty darn cool just as it is!
Yep but with money like his and a car like this no reason to piss off the old man also whatever he paid was a great deal because that bleep sound was definitely too short compared to what he's gonna get out of it
Im surprised we didnt see Dennis crawling all over the car to read the numbers. He likely would have said something like "its the 31st model to have the stickers applyed at 60° Fahrenheit its the HOLY GRAIL"
I would not have sold it to anyone for any amount of money. It is just TOO VALUABLE. Love the Old guys amount of knowledge on the car. He should make a video on his Racing Knowledge.
Just found this video! And would love to see the new owners finished product, i do hope he goes original 1382 mile direction! And thank you Rchard, i could see you were undecided wnich way was the best way to go, and you done the right thing, flip it, and move on.
HI Gas Monkey fans. I am Danny Orth in Oklahoma. Back in the 1980s, I bought a Boss 9 (as Richard calls it) from AL Burchette who owns Anns Chicken Fry on NW highway in OKC.. Jerry Harris was his mechanic I paid 5500.00 at that time which was my life savings. The Boss9 was purchased at Dub Richardson ford. Just like Richards car the Boss9 that I owned was purchased by a mechanic that worked at the dealership. It was taken apart and instantantly turned into a drag car. Mine had around 1100 miles on the clock. The previous owners kept blowing up the boss 9 engines so they had Gapp and Rousch build them a Boss 302 which was in it when I bought the car. HOLY CRAP was that a nasty boss 302. It had chevy aluminum rods and 14 to one pistons, a huge roller cam, tunnel ram with two 660s. The car still had the top loader and the traction lock rear diff with a 620 gear!!!! It was running a 29 inch slick so I would leave the line at 7500 and shift at 8000 rpms what a rush!!!! Dang when that car left it yanked the front wheels up and carried them around 15 feet then when I slammed into second it would pick them up again. That car was so loud and shook the ground when it idled that my mom used to come out of the house and tell me to turn it off so they could hear the news! The car would run 9.90s in good air and low 10s when it was hot! I took the car to Ardmore Raceway and that car broke something every time out, lol. One time it turned a roller lifter sideways and when I had the pan off cleaning the rollers out of it I noticed one rod had a crack. So I called Gapp and Rousch and those guys were so nice to me they said they had an extra rod and sent it to me for free!!! So I had to pull the drivers side head gasket and fix the rod. The car had copper head gaskets and was o ringed!! Had to order a head gasket from some guy in NYC who cussed like a sailor but he was the only one who could get me a head gasket at that time. Last time out at the track I had broken the detroit locker ring gear side bearing carrier. Fixed it and traded the car for an x top alcohol dragster that was know as the pepper express, to a guy named Don Stout in El Reno Oklahoma..... Have not seen the car since but it was Black and had flames. On the rear deck lid it had a guy in a knights suit of armor and it said Death Rides a Horse!!! Please if anyone knows what happened to that car will you let me know. I cannot afford it at the moment but would love to hear about it and see it once again. Thanks for reading my diatribe! I am just an old car guy who has had tons of cool rare hard to find cars over the years and wish I had every one of them back!!!!! I bet most of you folks reading this have similar stories as well. Take care and be safe and as Richard says, When you find a Boss 9 in ANY condition, GET YOU SOME OF THAT!
My bro and I knew the Penners. My memory may be a little foggy, but the Penners ran the car in B/MP in early 70s. Pro Stocks, in '71, were running high 9s. I believe Penner's stang was running around 10.50s in B/MP. It had dual carb, two 660s. It set several class records for its time. An analogy would be what the factory stock showdown cars are running today, 7.50s. If you were running 10.50s back then, you were cooking.
@@tedzehnder961 he accepted Richards lower offer without hesitation if you watch. The owner knew he could've said no but he said yes. Says a lot about the guy
B Keeler bought the car from Penner and we ran it Tulsa after we put it back together. Kent Cannady put the motor back together. But it was in Sand Springs Oklahoma for around 20 years.
I think refurbishing the car as is, with it´s patina and rebuild the stock motor and parts to acompany the car whereever it goes. The option to put it back original has to be worth the most in both value and provinience. What a great find!
@@gearmeister yeah $3K for the magnesium valve covers alone! Being the lowest mile 429 Mustang in existence makes it a tough call. If the car was raced by a popular winning team and held some championship titles id leave it the way it is. Strictly on a max money profit it should be put back to original condition and youll still have a moster HM built engine and trans to stuff in something else.
I bought a EARLY 65 K-CODE mustang, (old race car), when I jack the front of the car up, the ENTIRE nose comes up, she is SUPER tight, no idea the miles, but, it went from a Road car to a track car instantly. 500 miles, maybe 2500, (not many)... I don't have time to restore her until I retire, I DRIVE a 65 GT mustang, (A code). Love these classics.
I see Richard getting a financial revenge on Dennis on this car when done. Plus, I just learned more about Mustang's from that era in 30 minutes, than the research I've done in 35 years.
I was homeless, got into drug's went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and he changed my life...Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $36,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God.
I work at a restaurant here in Houston Texas. Things have been really difficult as I'm a single mom and trying my best to pay bills and take care of my daughters..

Im surprised we didnt see Dennis crawling all over the car to read the numbers. He likely would have said something like "its the 31st model to have the stickers applyed at 60° Fahrenheit its the HOLY GRAIL"
I would not have sold it to anyone for any amount of money. It is just TOO VALUABLE. Love the Old guys amount of knowledge on the car. He should make a video on his Racing Knowledge.
Aww we never got to hear it fire up😢. We deserve to hear it, but where do you find 112 octane gas these days except an airport.😊
Just found this video! And would love to see the new owners finished product, i do hope he goes original 1382 mile direction! And thank you Rchard, i could see you were undecided wnich way was the best way to go, and you done the right thing, flip it, and move on.
This is better than the TV show! I actually like Rawlings now!
There is nothing to like about this big mouth alcoholic...he is the reason for his own failures....
I can see Dennis chewing the bit over missing this one...GIT YA SOME O THAT ! Great find Richard...
Leave the fucking thing alone, get it running and enjoy it. But ya i forgot its the Richard flip it show. 😂
Grandpa was loving those pain pills 😂. Had him excited and talking 😂😂😂😂
Fking home run!!! That candy red paint looks sweet.
Wow what a great video...belongs in the mustang museum...
HI Gas Monkey fans. I am Danny Orth in Oklahoma. Back in the 1980s, I bought a Boss 9 (as Richard calls it) from AL Burchette who owns Anns Chicken Fry on NW highway in OKC.. Jerry Harris was his mechanic I paid 5500.00 at that time which was my life savings.
The Boss9 was purchased at Dub Richardson ford. Just like Richards car the Boss9 that I owned was purchased by a mechanic that worked at the dealership. It was taken apart and instantantly turned into a drag car. Mine had around 1100 miles on the clock. The previous owners kept blowing up the boss 9 engines so they had Gapp and Rousch build them a Boss 302 which was in it when I bought the car.
HOLY CRAP was that a nasty boss 302. It had chevy aluminum rods and 14 to one pistons, a huge roller cam, tunnel ram with two 660s. The car still had the top loader and the traction lock rear diff with a 620 gear!!!! It was running a 29 inch slick so I would leave the line at 7500 and shift at 8000 rpms what a rush!!!!
Dang when that car left it yanked the front wheels up and carried them around 15 feet then when I slammed into second it would pick them up again. That car was so loud and shook the ground when it idled that my mom used to come out of the house and tell me to turn it off so they could hear the news!
The car would run 9.90s in good air and low 10s when it was hot!
I took the car to Ardmore Raceway and that car broke something every time out, lol. One time it turned a roller lifter sideways and when I had the pan off cleaning the rollers out of it I noticed one rod had a crack.
So I called Gapp and Rousch and those guys were so nice to me they said they had an extra rod and sent it to me for free!!!
So I had to pull the drivers side head gasket and fix the rod. The car had copper head gaskets and was o ringed!!
Had to order a head gasket from some guy in NYC who cussed like a sailor but he was the only one who could get me a head gasket at that time.
Last time out at the track I had broken the detroit locker ring gear side bearing carrier. Fixed it and traded the car for an x top alcohol dragster that was know as the pepper express, to a guy named Don Stout in El Reno Oklahoma..... Have not seen the car since but it was Black and had flames.
On the rear deck lid it had a guy in a knights suit of armor and it said Death Rides a Horse!!!
Please if anyone knows what happened to that car will you let me know. I cannot afford it at the moment but would love to hear about it and see it once again.
Thanks for reading my diatribe! I am just an old car guy who has had tons of cool rare hard to find cars over the years and wish I had every one of them back!!!!! I bet most of you folks reading this have similar stories as well.
Take care and be safe and as Richard says, When you find a Boss 9 in ANY condition, GET YOU SOME OF THAT!
Cool story and let me add...Furds that are fast, have some Chevy in them.
Im not reading all that
My bro and I knew the Penners. My memory may be a little foggy, but the Penners ran the car in B/MP in early 70s. Pro Stocks, in '71, were running high 9s. I believe Penner's stang was running around 10.50s in B/MP. It had dual carb, two 660s. It set several class records for its time. An analogy would be what the factory stock showdown cars are running today, 7.50s. If you were running 10.50s back then, you were cooking.
Que: How about i dont pay you what we discussed on the phone? 😂
I hope he gave him more money than they discussed.If not? If the old buy didn`t want to bother doing any research and was happy about it ,oh well.
@@tedzehnder961 he accepted Richards lower offer without hesitation if you watch. The owner knew he could've said no but he said yes. Says a lot about the guy
B Keeler bought the car from Penner and we ran it Tulsa after we put it back together. Kent Cannady put the motor back together. But it was in Sand Springs Oklahoma for around 20 years.
Dennis is definitely getting that car 🚗🚗 🚗🚗🚗
Guess I should have finished the video before I made my comment 😂
Jason will want to restore it
the holman moody engine, back when they were ford racing gods, is what has me blown away.
Gotta Love The Mustang 😎
It's bad @$$
I think refurbishing the car as is, with it´s patina and rebuild the stock motor and parts to acompany the car whereever it goes. The option to put it back original has to be worth the most in both value and provinience. What a great find!
Also, this car isnt for richard. This car is for the collector that will keep it for what it is. Not as a quick flip.
That was a quick flip...
Damn son way to turn that thing around quick. I knew someone would jump on it, great job.
Only 1300 miles a 1/4 mile at a time is mind blowing. The Holman Moody Nascar engine is just crazy rare gold.
Holman Moody, you're right, there's serious history just in the engine
@@gearmeister yeah $3K for the magnesium valve covers alone! Being the lowest mile 429 Mustang in existence makes it a tough call. If the car was raced by a popular winning team and held some championship titles id leave it the way it is. Strictly on a max money profit it should be put back to original condition and youll still have a moster HM built engine and trans to stuff in something else.
Yeah 1300 miles 1/4 mile at a time?…..that’s 5200 races🤔 the old timer said he raced it about 30 times, it’s not adding up🤷♂️🤦♂️
I bought a EARLY 65 K-CODE mustang, (old race car), when I jack the front of the car up, the ENTIRE nose comes up, she is SUPER tight, no idea the miles, but, it went from a Road car to a track car instantly. 500 miles, maybe 2500, (not many)...
I don't have time to restore her until I retire, I DRIVE a 65 GT mustang, (A code). Love these classics.
30 PASSES X QUARTER MILE AT A TIME. DOES NOT EQUAL 1300 MILES.... BUT, COOL...
Persistence pays of again Dennis doesn't get all the leads great find just a time capsule, if cars could talk.great video thanks to the whole crew 👍👍👍
I see Richard getting a financial revenge on Dennis on this car when done. Plus, I just learned more about Mustang's from that era in 30 minutes, than the research I've done in 35 years.
If I was the grandson I'd be Cruzin the Coast and going to car shows. Amazing car!
I was homeless, got into drug's went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and he changed my life...Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $36,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God.
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God...
What a testimony!!! 🙏🙏🙏I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much monthly.
I work at a restaurant here in Houston Texas. Things have been really difficult as I'm a single mom and trying my best to pay bills and take care of my daughters..
I know this lady just mentioned here . She's really good with and on her job. She's helped a couple of families and individuals' finances.
YES!!! That's exactly her name( Mrs Claire Morin) so many people have recommended highly about her I'm huge beneficiary of her platform from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺.
Restore it!!! That’s is a beauty, thanks for sharing.
