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.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).
