Vehicle Description
1970 would be the Boss Mustang's second year as part of Ford's
lineup. Built to compete with Chevrolet's Camaro Z/28 and the
Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am racing series, the Boss 302
was Dearborn's performance machine. The Boss 302 included a
modified 302ci V8 engine that produced 290hp in addition to a
handling suspension, F60x15 tires and quicker steering. In order to
meet the SCCA requirement for racing a production car, at least
6,500 Boss 302s had to be built. Ford produced 7,013 over two
years. According to contemporary road tests in Car & Driver, the
Boss 302 completed the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds at 93.4 mph. In
Trans-Am tune, the Boss 302 would win the Manufacturer's
Championship for Ford in 1970. This real-deal Boss Mustang sold new
a Latimer Motors in Montreal, Canada. It's been refinished in its
original shade of Bright Yellow with white vinyl bucket seats. It's
equipped with a Shaker hood, rear window slats, rear spoiler, power
steering, power front disc brakes, Magnum 500 road wheels,
Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and a DOZE Boss 302 engine.
This Boss has been restored from the ground up and is documented by
an original Build Sheet and a Deluxe Marti Report.
