You have got a picture of one of the Ford "holy grail" cars--a Kar Kraft built one of two Boss 429 Cougars! I believe the other one is the blue and yellow pro-stock that Fast Eddie Shartman raced that was in the Motor Wheel Company advertisements back around 1970. Both were 1969's and Eddie's car got updated to 1970 trim. I think Boss 429 guru Ed Meyer has one of the two cars that last I checked still needed to be restored. It was in a Rare Finds column by author Jerry Heasley in an older Mustang and Fords magazine. The Boss 9's were not too successful at this time with not enough development and 427 Cammers were the preferred engine still by many Ford racers. Good luck on your picture quest. I have seen a limited number but both cars were sold after the 1970 season due to their lack of wins and probably being too heavy. I always try to follow up leads on 69-70 Cougars just for fun...
