			That Boss 9 is all blinged out!  The stock parts that are missing would cost a lot to replace.  When I got my Boss 9 with 40,000 original miles, I thought that it would be really unusual to have so few miles.  Since then, I've found out that a 40,000 mile B9 is really the norm.  Under 10,000 is a little rarer (usually a former race car).  B9s are like COPO cars - they didn't generally rack up a lot of miles.  The difference with B9s is that many of the parts are B9 only applications.  So, a correctly dated carb cost around $5,500.00; correct space saver spare - around $3,500.00, original dated 429 HP block could run $10,000.00 or more.... the list goes on & on.
