This past week, Goodguys revealed their next giveaway project car, and you can win it!


This week, Goodguys announced the 2010 Grand Prize Giveaway Car – the 1970 BOSS Snake. The Boss Snake is a 429 Ford-powered super muscle car designed by Kaucher Kustoms, and is being built and assembled by Max-G Systems of Fogelsville, Pennsylvania using their new Max-G Bolt-In Chromoly 4130N Aircraft Alloy chassis system. The BOSS Snake is a concept based on the ultra rare QuarterHorse Mustang of which there were only two prototypes ever built.

The car’s finish will be PPG/Goodguys yellow. It will feature a Jon Kaase-built 429 Ford hemi motor, custom one-off Intro wheels, and many other unique muscle car performance parts and accessories.

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 the Kar Kraft company in Brighton, Michigan. Also referred to as the "composite" Mustang, it contained several different parts and pieces than the original BOSS 429 Mustangs. The body was a standard 1970 Boss 429, the front clip was a Shelby Mustang (less the hood scoops), and the dash was from a Cougar. The first Quarterhose, KK 2061, was painted Grabber Blue and was initially 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 candy apple red and was fitted with a 429 SCJ engine. Amazingly, both Quarterhorses survived the crusher and are in the hands of collectors.

Other project sponsors include Vintage Air, Classic Instrument, Painless Performance, BFGoodrich, Flaming River, Ricks Hot Rods, Dynacorn, Baer Brakes, Tremec, Optima Batteries, Herculiner, PEAK, Grundy Insurance, Flowmaster Exhaust, Comp Cams, Performance Rod & Custom.

The Boss Snake will be given away in a drawing at the 2010 Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. To find out how you can enter to win, log on to www.good-guys.com
