Default 69 1/2 mustang boss

I dont know much about values on older mustangs but my friend told me he would sell me the rolling chassis of a 69 1/2 mustang boss for 1000 dollars. It originally had the 351 with dual quads in it but it threw a rods and junked the block .
should i buy it

Can't tell you without a whole bunch more information. How about the rust? Does it still have a good tranny and differential? Is the interior decent? How about the paint job? Does it have nice wheels and tires? If all of the above are in good shape, and there is no body damage, then it would be a steal. About 5 grand later, then you will have a nice ride. However, I doubt the answer to the above is that everything is hunky dorey.

I was under the impression that there were 2 boss models in 69-70 body style - the Boss 302 and the Boss 429

The Boss351 was a 1971-3 body style car...so I am confused about a half year model with a 351 and dual quads being a boss.

(edited for a year problem)

I'd be suspiscious about the whole deal...I've never heard the term 69 1/2 boss and it wouldn't have originally had a 351.
What is the body code? It may just be a fastback and there's nothing wrong with that. 63A was fastback, 63C was Mach1, don't know for the Bosses...

Im 19 years old in not really sure of old school mustangs. Im just repeating what the guy said about it . I did look up some stuff on it since it was a half year they did have a 351 in it ,dont quote me on it but i think the put the 351 out in 70 so they might of put it on a half year. Of coarse I could be totally wrong ,I was just kind of wondering if i would be worth as much without the numbers matching motor.

You could get a 69 and a 70 with the 351, that is not the issue.
The issue is it wasn't a boss if it came with a 351 in 1969 OR 1970.
