, and soon we’ll be able to share some of the spectacular highlights that surpassed expectations. Thanks to our Ford Month feature, the seemingly never-ending periplus in search of the next great Blue Oval has now taken us to a very interesting representative.
It s an integral part of the Steve Todhunter Collection that’s going to hit the red carpet at the company s Glendale event in March. And when we say an appealing member, we literally mean that.
Checking out the collection s roster for Mecum’s upcoming auction reveals it s chock-full of red cars – many of them of the Prancing Horse variety. Granted, we spotted some oddities among them, but those will have to wait their turn to share the story.
1967 Mustang with a Jon Kaase 527 V8
This 1967 Mustang called “RK527” was built by Darell Johnston and Richard Gauthier at RK Motors to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Mustang in 2014. The car is powered by a 527 ci Boss Nine V8 built by Jon Kaase Racing Engines. The all-aluminum motor produces 806 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. It features a Bryant billet crankshaft, Oliver rods, forged aluminum pistons, 1500 cfm four-barrel throttle body, and Fast XFI ECU. A D&D T56 six-speed manual transmission with a McLeod twin-disc clutch sends power to a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.55 gears. The car rides on a Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame front suspension and QUADRALink rear suspension with adjustable coilovers. A set of Vintage Wheels HA 18-inch wheels cover Baer six-piston calipers with 14-inch drilled/slotted rotors in front and 13-inch drilled/slotted rotors in back. The Shelby clone body is covered in Candy Apple Red paint with Wimbledon White Le Mans stripes.

You’re not having a déjà vu because this Candy Apple Red 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 isn’t the exact same one that sold at a Bonhams auction back in October of 2020 for no less than $346,000. The unit seen there was decidedly one with very low mileage – clocking in on the odometer a mere 3,404 miles (5,478 kilometers) by the time it was snatched off the auction lot.
This Candy Apple Red 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, on the other hand, is a bit more
affordable, if one is allowed to play with that word when
Earth MotorCars is asking no less than $286k. That’s because it has seen a bit more travels in its lifetime, as the count reads a total of 46,773 miles (75,273 km).
Of course, it wasn t a simple matter of someone picking the car up for a steal and then rolling it across the auction block. When the seller bought this car, it was a little worse for wear, and it took over 30 years for the vendor to professionally restore the car. There s plenty done to this car, but even without its cinematic provenance, it s a special example, being one of just three that were finished in Candy Apple Red with a black roof. The three cars purchased for the film didn t all make it to the 21st century either, as one was scrapped during filing. The remaining survivor reportedly now lives in Spain.
