Vehicle Description
The Boss 302 is a huge part of classic Mustang history but, as
improbable as it may seem, the car buying public only had about two
years during which to nab one, making this 1970 Ford Mustang Boss
302 especially compelling. It's sporting massive curb appeal, with
a high-impact, properly configured exterior you have to see to
fully appreciate and comes complete with a Marti report to testify
that it's the real thing - no sleight of hand involved here.
Ford created its first generation of Boss 302s with a very specific
purpose - to make a definitive statement to its rivals that they
not only CREATED what was then the wildly popular "Pony Car" niche,
but they also fully intended to set the pace within it. As you can
see, this '70 easily shoulders the aesthetic burden such a car had
to carry. It's absolutely chock full of curb appeal and decked out
in Grabber Blue, a vibrant color that originally was available only
on Shelbys before generating such a positive response that Ford
wisely chose to offer it as an option on all Mustangs. The paint is
in impressively good form here, it's got a great shine from front
to back and the signature "hockey stick" stripes starting on the
hood before descending down to the sides look razor sharp. The
hood-mounted tach will catch your eye right away - it was a coveted
option on this special breed of Mustangs - and the black ABS front
air dam, as well as the rear spoiler and louvres, are looking their
best.
The black vinyl interior has been largely replaced from scratch and
features all the vintage magnetism you could want. Neither the
high-backed front buckets nor the rear bench seat show much wear at
all and they sit over fresh black carpeting, so it's not likely
that much traffic has made its way in and out the doors since this
Mustang emerged from its restoration. Every interior surface within
view really looks sharp, including the door panels and center
console as well as the dash area, which still features the original
gauges in its cluster that are joined by aftermarket oil pressure
and temperature gauges in the center console. The AM/FM/cassette
stereo sitting above them has just the right vintage appearance but
offers iPod compatibility to increase your audio options. In back,
the trunk area is well-detailed, with its floor sporting a colorful
Mustang "running horse" emblem.
As far as road-readiness is concerned, this Boss has things
covered. Raise the hood and you'll come face to face with one
seriously clean engine compartment, at the center of which sits a
302 cubic inch V8 that's ready for action - it's running and
sounding great and is nicely dressed with a pair of badged Boss 302
valve covers matched by the air cleaner on top. The engine pairs
with a 4-speed manual transmission that puts maximum control in
your hands. The 3.50 ratio rear end strikes a nice balance -
offering good off the line performance while still reining in
excessively high RPMs on the highway. Power disc brakes are at all
four corners, so stopping is dependable and fade resistant, while
power steering makes this classic easy to drive. Sure to draw a
crowd wherever it goes, this upper crust Mustang cruises on a set
of 15" stock Mustang wheels outfitted with Goodyear Magnum 500
tires that still show a good amount of tread.
This 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 offers an unbeatable combination of
curb appeal, strong running condition and bona fide collectability.
