Vehicle Description
Awarded the prestigious MCA Grand National Concours Gold September
2, 2018. Ford Mustang Boss 302 experts Bob Perkins, Jeff Speegle
and Tom Champagne were consulted during the restoration process of
this car. The car was signed by Lawrence Kiyoshi "Larry" Shinoda,
who designed the Boss 302. Shinoda also signed a judging sheet and
copy of the Lois Eminger report, and took a photo with this car at
a MCA Grand National show. The original manual was signed by Rufus
Parnell "Parnelli" Jones, and he took a photo with this car at
Ford's 100th Anniversary at the Ford World Headquarters. This car
was featured in Mustang Illustrated magazine twice. All of these
items are included. As indicated on the Deluxe Marti Report, this
1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 was built on May 14, 1970, at the
Dearborn factory and was ordered with the following options: yellow
paint, Black Rhino/Corinthian vinyl bucket seats, rear deck
spoiler, 4-speed close-ratio manual transmission, 3.50 Traction-Lok
differential, F60x15 belted tires with raised white letters,
console, power steering, AM radio and tachometer. According to
Marti Auto Works, this car is one of one built with these exact
options. Also according to the Deluxe Marti Report, this car was
delivered to Ferraro Ford Sales, Inc., located in Girard, PA. It
was sold to Patrick J. Mancini of Erie, PA, on August 17, 1970.
Many other items are included, such as the Lois Eminger invoice,
partial Build Sheet, Ford warranty owner card, owner's manual,
reproduction Window Sticker, owner's history, MCA judging sheets,
miscellaneous photos, license plates, brochures and articles. This
car has had eight owners over its lifetime, with only three since
1994. In 1995, this car was treated to a nut-and-bolt show-quality
restoration. Once completed, it was taken to car shows that
included the MCA Grand National show in Valley Forge, PA. The
judging sheet, photos and magazines document this information. In
2012, it was purchased by its last owner, who decided to take the
car to a higher level, so he methodically re-restored it. This car
has a ton of correct parts throughout. The exterior body is very
straight with great gaps throughout. It was finished in its
original yellow paint color with black accents. The paint is
show-quality throughout. All of the glass in is excellent
condition. It retains an original hood trim piece. The original
front and rear bumpers were rechromed. The car sits on brand-new
reproduction 15-inch wheels and Goodyear Polyglas GT F60x15 tires
with raised white letters. An extra set of reproduction 15-inch
wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A 235-60-15 tires are included. The
black interior is in beautiful condition and still retains a lot of
originality, including the headliner, dash, gauges, steering wheel,
Hurst shifter, door panels and rear seats. The front seats were
redone and the carpeting was replaced. A custom stereo system with
remote control was hidden under the dash. The trunk compartment is
beautifully restored with the spare saver and jack equipment. The
engine compartment is extremely correct and highly detailed
throughout. The car is powered by the original matching-numbers
Boss 302 V8 engine. The engine was rebuilt and runs excellent. It
has many correct items, such as factory smog equipment, carburetor,
rev limiter, fuel pump, PCV valve, motor mounts, exhaust header
bolts, power steering unit and master cylinder. The engine is
coupled to the original matching-numbers 4-speed close-ratio manual
transmission and correct nodular 3.50 Traction-Lok differential
rear end. The undercarriage is also extremely correct and highly
detailed. When the car was being re-restored, the original batch
paint was found on the floors and was scanned so it could be
painted exactly like it was originally. It also has many correct
items, such as the gas tank, steering components, suspension system
and braking system.
