There isn't one made. IF there is it will be an old MPC or AMT tool and cost many many dollars.
You only have the choice of finding the 69 Mustang by Revell, get a Revell Boss 429 70 Mustang and I believe you also need a Torino kit to duplicate the 69 Boss 429. Otherwise, no, there isn't one availible and especially not for cheap. At least a three kit deal to make one. Chris

Like 73superduty said there's no 69 but Revell did make a 70.

AMT makes a Mach 1 kit, so it should simply be a matter of swapping the engine gear over. although the kit is now out of production you'll find a few still floating around.

Best starting point would be Revell's '69 428CJ (currently available in the Mustang 3-car gift set). You can pull the chrome Magnum 500s from a whole mess of kits - pick your favorite. Engine-wise, there's no really good factory stock Boss 429 in 1/25 scale, but if you can locate a set of old JoHan Boss 429 valve covers and heads, you might be able to "fudge" the engine using the kit's 428 CJ as a base. The hood scoop can be cut down from Revell's (Monogram's) 1/24 scale '70, and you can use the BOSS 429 side graphics from that kit too. It's a lot of work, but it's iffy whether you'll see a '69 Boss 429 from any of the US "Little 3" at this point in time. Hope that helps a little. Good luck!
