They did start replacing 289 in late 67 but im not sure they ever got rid of the 289 completely. I might need to wiki that and check it out. You never know someone could of put a 289 in it and badged it. Well thats if your mom wasn't the original owner.

Funny/Disappointing story on this car. My parents purchased the car inside a home built enclosed triple axle bumper trailer. A guy my Dad worked with had had the car for over 15 years at this time. (This has been 15+ years ago) He used to be in Anchorage Alaska and he kept this car in the trailer the entire time he was up there. So basically this car sat inside a trailer for about 20 years. It was sold to my parents sight unseen as a 69 Boss 302. They got the car and trailer with all the other junk the guy didn't want for $1400. Low and behold when we got the trailer home, and opened it up, it wasn't a 69 Boss, but it still is a decent car. Not real rusty, not too beat up. It had a 351C with 4V heads which I traded to a friend for a bunch of go fast parts for the FI 302. I'll definitely start a build thread on it when we actually bring it in the shop. So far we've just been buying parts for it.
