I cant find the mustang monthly mag it was in back in the early '90's..So Im gonna do this on 10 yr old memory. Both Quarter horse were one of a kind. They both '69/70 bodies but the front clip was replaced with the 69/70 gt500 front clip. The dash was completely change out and replaced with the 69 cougar eliminator dash for a more luxury look. The one that is the only one to exist was painted in Grabber Blue and it was packing with the Boss 429. The second which no longer exist because it was crushed was CandyApple Red and it was packing ( if i remember correctly) with the 429scj.

Conceived as a possible replacement for both the Boss 429 and Shelby Mustangs, the so-called QuarterHorse Mustangs were built from actual Boss 429 Mustangs by Kar Kraft. Only one of the two built carried a Kar Kraft number, however both Quarterhorses were true Boss 429s. Also referred to as the "Composite" Mustang because it contained several different parts and pieces. The body was standard 1970 Boss 429, the front clip was Shelby Mustang, less the hood scoops, and the dash was Cougar. The first Quarterhose, KK 2061, was painted Grabber Blue and was intially fitted with a Boss 429 engine. It was soon replaced with a 429 SCJ and sent to Hollywood to star with Burt Reynolds in a short-lived tv series called "Dan August". The second Quarterhorse was Candyapple Red and was fitted with a 429 SCJ engine. Amazingly, both Quarterhorses survived the crusher and are in the hands of collectors.

Around 1978 or so, I saw an ad for a Boss 429 near Port Huron, MI. When I went to look at it, it was definitely a Boss 429, had a Shelby front end, sounded sweet when the engine started and the owner described it as "a holman and moody boss 429". I wonder if this is the same thing as the composite mustang or quarter horse? Sadly, I didn't buy it because it had some rust problems in the doors and I really couldn't part with the $3600.00 and I thought that it was just some cobbled together custom job.
