UPDATE: ***SALE PENDING***
According to Ford factory records, this Boss 302 Mustang was ordered on June 1, 1970. It was completed on June 10th at the Metuchen, New Jersey, plant and sold eight days later by Koerner Ford in Rochester, New York.
As-built specifications included Grabber Orange paint on the style 63A Sportsroof fastback coupe body, Black Rhino and Corinthian vinyl bucket seats, the four-barrel Boss 302 engine, a four-speed wide-ratio manual transmission and the standard 3.50 to 1 rear axle. Options included a shaker hood scoop and an AM radio.
Acquired by the current owner in June 2007 from a Wisconsin owner, the car had been restored in the early 1990s. It was given a complete engine rebuild in 2009, and the transmission was rebuilt by a Rhode Island specialist. Other recent work has included rebuilding the steering box and having the carburetor thoroughly reconditioned by Pony Carburetors, specialists in Holley carburetors.
Just 6,319 Boss 302s were built for 1970, 832 of them in Grabber Orange. This one typifies the Boss 302 mystique, and presents a chance to acquire a very nice example that could be brought to concours standards with modest effort.
