1970 Mustang Boss 302. The Boss 302 Mustang is one of the most famous and iconic high performance versions from the
Ford Mustang stable.
Designed by Larry Shinoda, the name Boss came about when he was asked what project he was working on.
He answered the boss car because the project was both a secret and for the Boss as an homage to the new President
of Ford Semon Bunkie Knudson who had brought him over from GM. Ford was determined to win on the racetrack and
thereby attempt to win
the Camaro/Mustang rivalry in the pony carsegment created by the Mustangs debut in mid-year 1964.
Their focus was on the Sports Car Club of Americas Trans-Am series, a version of stock-car racing
with a five-liter class that saw Detroit build some impressive handling factory machines to compete.
In the 70 season the Boss 302 team led by Bud Moore had drivers Parnelli Jones and George Follmer up against the
AAR Cudas,
Pontiac Firebird, Camaros, and Penske AMC Javelins. Ford won the championship with driver champion Parnelli Jones.
The Boss models produced in 1969 and 1970 have become sought after by collectors and the name wasnt used again
until the 2012 and 2013 model years.
The 1970 model year changes included side hockey stick stripes,
along with the 70 grille which replaced the 4 headlights with two vents in the outside position while retaining
dual headlights within the grille.
The dual exhaust system was redesigned, along with the competition suspension and a standard Hurst shifter. The
black sports slats, shaker hood,
front and rear spoiler with a set of magnum 500s set off the Boss 302 in any color.
It was one of the first production models with a front spoiler/rear deck wing. With a suggested price of $3,720,
a total of 7,014 were sold. Back in the day, Ford ads declared the Mustang Boss 302 as Pure Performance All the
Way.
The Shaker Hood suggests at what lurks under the hood. The view is a wonderful detailed engine bay with the
familiar Ford Blue power plant.
The mighty 302-cid engine was a composite engine using the Windsor block and large Cleveland style heads.
With ports the size of beer bottles and 2.19 inch intake valve , the boss wouldnt run out of air at even 8000 rpm.
The Boss 302 engine was built for the express purpose of meeting the guidelines to compete in the Trans-Am racing
series.
This original G Code engine was rated at 290 hp, however modern day tests show the engine may have been severely
underrated,
The engine and associated components have been correctly restored, complete with all the proper FoMoCo radiator,
battery,decals and tags.
These cars had aluminum valve covers and dual exhaust to carry the harmonious sound of the engine.
The wide-ratio four-speed manual transmission is sporting the T-handle Hurst Competition Shifter
which is arguably one of the most famous looking shifters of the muscle car era.
This handle provides the driver a fantastic grip on the power to be unleashed.
Standard were power front disc brakes and rear drum brakes to help slow down this low riding muscle car.
The virgin body of this car has been handsomely restored and is a rare opportunity to own a majestic Mustang.
This Boss 302 is a stunning example in the GRABBER ORANGE.The exterior proudly displays the beautiful deep
reflection of the GRABBER ORANGE,
which is sometimes described by Mustang fans as Competition ORANGE or Grabber ORANGE.
The factory correct blackout areas of the car are in excellent condition.
The unmistakable Boss 302 racing stripes start at the hood and finish underneath the rear side marker lights.
The exterior is further adorned with bright chrome bumpers that gleam with depth,
dual color-keyed racing mirrors/drivers side remote, large Black Front and Rear Deck Spoiler and Black Matte Shaker
Hood Scoop.
This Sports Roof has been fitted with the optional rear window Louvers/Sports Slats providing a classic look.
The undercarriage of this Boss 302 is nicely detailed to a show quilty restoration.
New raised lettered Goodyear Polyglas tires mounted on Magnum 500 sparkling chrome wheels finish the side view.
The fender trim tag and a Marti Report on file confirm all the factory chosen options for this Orange Stang.
This example is an early model constructed on JANUARY 1970 at DEARBORN.
The car was ordered by the OKLAHOMA CITY Ordering District and delivered to the PRAGUE Motor SALES dealership in
PRAGUE OKLAHOMA.
The Eminger Report/Dealer Invoice Copy showing a $3987.20 total for the vehicle is on file and this Stang is listed
in the Boss 302 Registry.
The Black Rhino/Corinthian standard vinyl interior is presented in excellent condition
with front contoured bucket seats and the optional Sport Deck Rear Seat.
The Black Bucket seats are in top quality condition and extremely comfortable.
The driver will enjoy the conveniences of a well-appointed all Black interior with a nice wood steering wheel and a
dash equipped with the AM Radio,
Tach and Trip gauges. A factory console runs between the seats housing the Hurst T-Handle Shifter.
In their February 1970 issue, Car & Driver praised the Boss street manners,
stating that it is quiet and exudes quality, very much like an expensive European GT car.
The stiff suspension and high shock absorber control give it a very purposeful feel,
and because the body doesnt quiver or rattle when you hit a bump, the overall impression is most satisfying.
A great opportunity to own a fantastic BOSS 302 and relive the glory days of the early 70s.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback
Tue, Jun 9 2015The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:
Ford expands air bag recall nationwide
Thu, Dec 18 2014Ford Motor Co. has agreed to government demands to expand a driver's side air bag inflator recall to the entire U.S. The move announced Thursday adds 447,000 Ford vehicles to the list of those recalled due to driver's inflators made by Japan's Takata Corp. The inflators can explode with too much force, spewing shrapnel into drivers and passengers. Ford's action puts pressure on BMW and Chrysler, the only two automakers that haven't agreed to national recalls. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration made the demand of five automakers, saying the inflators are dangerous. Honda and Mazda already took their recalls national. Previously the recalls were limited to high-humidity states mainly along the Gulf Coast. The Ford national recall covers certain 2005 to 2008 Mustangs and 2005 and 2006 GT sports cars. The company also announced it would recall the same cars in Canada, Mexico and a few other countries. Thursday's announcement brings to just over 502,000 the number of Ford vehicles under recall for Takata driver's side air bags. The company said it knows of one accident and injury from the problems, in a 2007 Mustang in North Carolina. Dealers will replace the inflators at no cost to customers. Last month, NHTSA demanded that Takata and the five automakers recall driver's inflators across the nation.Takata and Chrysler have refused and could face legal action. BMW says it's still evaluating the demand. Takata hired the New York public relations firm Sard Verbinnen & Co. and took out full-page advertisements Thursday in newspapers including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and three German publications. The ads, featuring a letter from Chairman and CEO Shigehisa Takata, said the company will work with NHTSA and automakers to expand the recalls by increasing production capacity for replacement air bags. The company said it's exploring whether other companies' air bags can be used in replacement kits, and it's increasing testing to find the exact cause of the problems. "Takata will work in unison with automakers to advance our common goal of putting the safety of customers first," the letter said. But in documents filed with NHTSA, Takata refused to do a national recall, saying it's not supported by testing data. The company also said NHTSA didn't have the authority to order a parts supplier to do a recall, and that only automakers can conduct them.
Ford Australia reveals updated Territory, Falcon via Twitter
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Ford may have tied together much of its global lineup under the One Ford campaign, but one market where it still offers unique products is Australia. That will soon draw to a close as well, but before it does, the Blue Oval's Aussie operations are rolling out refreshed versions of its two unique products. For the moment, Ford isn't revealing much in the way of powertrain details, but it has shown off a couple of snaps of the revised products on its in-market Twitter feed.
First up is the new Territory. The SUV is neither based on a front-drive crossover platform nor on a truck frame, but shares its rear-drive underpinnings with the Falcon, taking it a step beyond the Falcon wagon alongside which it sits in Ford's Aussie range. Like the outgoing third-generation SZ Territory, the facelifted version is dominated by a narrow grille and larger front air dam, but further punctuates its big-chinned look with more rugged lower cladding and other metallic inserts that bring its look up to date.
And there's the Falcon, which Ford revealed in XR8 trim just last week and is now presenting in G6E spec. If the XR8 is the performance model, the G6E is the luxury version, swapping in more refined trim like a chrome-slat grille (instead of a black honeycomb), chrome foglamp surrounds, less-aggressive multi-spoke wheels (instead of five-spokes) and a flatter hood (instead of a power bulge). Otherwise, it looks essentially the same as the one we saw last week, its facelift bringing it more in line with the smaller, front-drive Mondeo (which we know here as the Fusion) and other members of the Ford family.
