Vehicle Description
This is a very rare, and very correct, numbers matching, 1970 Boss
302 Mustang. It has also been very nicely restored to show car
standards. If you are a discriminating buyer who has been looking
for one of the surviving examples of the just over 7,000 cars they
built in order to meet homologation rules for the SCCA Trans Am
series, then you should not wait long to call or come down and
check this car out.
It's hard to imagine that these cars could look any better than
this one does in its fresh respray of the factory correct, code T,
Medium Red paint and its Black stripes. The panels were
meticulously prepared and adjusted to produce this finish that is
super slick with nice consistent panel gaps. Up front the black
grill leads with the iconic galloping Pony over red, white and
blue. Below it is a pencil thin bumper and below that is a deep
chin spoiler designed to keep air from getting under the car at
speed and creating lift. Triple black stripes run up and around a
shaker hood with the outer ones turning down toward the rockers
forming hockey stick stripes with Boss 302 appearing at the top
edge of the fender. Body colored racing mirrors grace the doors and
sport slats along with a black trunk lid cut the glare through the
rear glass. The rear spoiler generates downforce at speed, and of
course there are the traditional Mustang triple taillights
underlined by another sharp looking bumper.
Open the door and you will find a spotlessly clean and correct,
code BA, Black interior. The door panel is embossed in a
rectangular pattern with a comfortable armrest in the event that
you are inclined to take this car out for a cruise, which would be
a glorious thing to do. The simple two-spoke steering wheel has
another galloping Mustang in the center and behind it the stock
dash is extremely neat and clean with even all the thin chrome
piping around the gauges spotless and shining like they should be.
The factory tach is just to the right of the speedo with a water
temp gauge off to the left and the fuel gauge to the right. The
Hurst shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission falls easily to
hand and there is an AM/FM radio just over the ventilation
controls. The headliner and carpet are show car spotless and tie
the look of the interior together nicely.
Raise that hood and you will find a completely restored engine bay
that is super clean and detailed out with a numbers matching 302
cubic inch motor nestled down inside. It even has the factory rev
limiter still mounted on the driver's side fender well. These are
very unique motors, developed and built for the Trans Am series,
that use a high nickel content block castings with 4-bolt mains and
cylinder heads that use a canted valve design so they breath better
and make more power. Those heads are topped by finned aluminum
valve covers with Boss 302 in blue on the sides. A Holley 4-barrel
carburetor handles the fuel mixing duties and the power it makes
flows out through that top loader 4-speed manual trans to the rear
wheels. The chassis on this car received as much love during the
restoration as the body and engine, so all the heavy-duty
suspension and steering components that are part of the Boss
package have been reconditioned with new bushings and painted so
they function perfectly and look brand new. The rubber meets the
road through BFGoodrich Radial T/As mounted on Magnum 500
wheels.
