Vehicle Description
This 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 competition car is a particularly
attractive example with a well-known and interesting history. The
subject of a January 2011 feature in the inaugural edition of Auto
Enthusiast magazine, this original 1970 Mustang Boss 302 is powered
by a proper G-Code engine and finished and detailed as a Bud Moore
tribute car. Originally finished in Grabber Blue, the Boss was
acquired by Paul J. Pettey in December 1974. Pettey's racing career
included Trans Am and entries at Sebring and the 24 Hours of
Daytona over the 20 years spanning 1968 and 1988. Mr. Pettey
modified the car for racing as a back up to his #45 1969 Mustang,
but it was never used as such by him. Following Mr. Pettey's
untimely accidental death during the 1990s, the Boss was acquired
from the estate and in 2005, it was sent to Trans Am specialists
Conover Racing and Restorations and converted into a close replica
of the fabled original Bud Moore Engineering Boss Mustangs.
Completed in 2008, the Boss is now accompanied at with the original
Build Sheet, receipts, track notebooks, and the VRA logbook. This
is a real Trans Am race car, however due to no previous
participation in an original Trans Am race, this car cannot run
with the select "Historic Trans Am Group" at limited events such as
the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, under the present rules.
Since 2008 this car has participated in many other vintage race
events across the country in the Trans Am Group 6 Class. This car
has recently undergone a full nut-and-bolt race prep and is
turn-key ready for vintage racing. **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY**
