Vehicle Description
1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 documented. The car featured a
reflective 'c-stripe'. It was one of the first production models
with a front spoiler and rear deck wing. The name 'Boss' came about
when Shinoda was asked what project he was working on, he answered
'the boss's car' because the project was a secret Shinoda had
called it the 'Boss' as homage to the new President of Ford.
Changes for the 1970 model year included side 'hockey stick'
stripes which started along the top of the hood, along with the
1970 grille which replaced the 4 headlights with two vents in the
outside position while retaining dual headlights within the grille
opening. The dual exhaust system was redesigned, along with the
competition suspension and a standard Hurst shifter. The intake
valves were slightly smaller, and cast aluminum valve covers
replaced the chrome. A total of 7,013 were sold. Standard were disc
brakes on the front, larger sway bars, a lower ride height, heavier
duty spindles, reinforced shock towers, a four speed manual
transmission and the solid-lifter Boss 302 V8 engine with its
free-breathing Cleveland style heads, which had valves larger than
most motors over a third larger in displacement. This 'G Code'
engine was rated at 290 hp, however modern day tests show the
engine may have been largely underrated, with dynos showing in
excess of 380 horsepower in some cases. The 1970 car could
accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.9 seconds. The quarter mile
took 14.6 seconds at 98 mph. Please Note The Following **Vehicle
