Both the Boss 302 and 429 continued
into 1970. The 428 Cobra Jet continued as the top engine
choice for the Mach 1 Mustang.
New for 1970 was the 429
Cobra Jet, standard in the Boss 429.
The 429 Cobra Jet
was rated at 370 bhp while the Super Cobra Jet was rated
at 375 bhp.
This would be the last year for the Shelby
Cobras, which were in fact left over 1969 models with
some minor trim changes.
Not so great an end for a once great performer.
