I posted a FB link about 10 years ago that’s now defunct but here’s current YouTube link to some great home movie footage at Kar Kraft, Ford’s unofficial skunkworks/official Boss 429 assembly partner. The mid engine Boss can be seen a few times.

Curious how they got the power to the differential, since the engine is basically sitting on it. I'm not aware of Ford having a front wheel drive car, like the Toronado, to use as the drivetrain.
