Vehicle Description
This is a numbers-matching 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 in a rare and
original color. So with something this special, it's great to find
an example that's the right mix of preservation and correct
restoration.
Calypso Coral was only offered for a couple of years on the
Mustang, but it's one we love. After all, if feels like Ford's
answer to Chevy's Hugger Orange. And this boldness also has rarity
considering there were likely less than 900 Boss 302s painted this
way for 1970. Not only do you have the distinction of this
factory-correct color, but also it looks to be about half original.
The front of the vehicle seems to still carry the factory-applied
finish, and the rear has been blended to make sure it still
completes the color. And there's even plenty of real-deal patina to
make sure this car gets to proudly tell its unique story. The
odometer is believed to reflect the actual mileage - averaging less
than 1,700 miles annually over the last half-century. And the way
the big coupes doors close with confidence means this Boss has been
treated with care down to the details. Speaking of details, this
retains all the best pieces you love. The dark performance parts
look great against the orange, including the front air dam,
blackout rear, full-width rear spoiler, and the iconic stripe
package that truly announces this is the Boss.
The full black interior is part of this attractive and original
package, too. The high-back bucket seats, door panels, seat belts,
and steering wheel all look particularly nice for original
equipment. Items like the dash pad and carpeting were replaced with
correct materials, so that you can get a full classic style but
with a fresh feel in essential places. In fact, this one revels in
its vintage status so much that details like the Philco AM radio
are still there for display. But the original piece you're going to
like the most is the Hurst shifter. It puts you in full control of
the special Boss motor.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 302 cubic-inch V8 special to
the Boss 302. It was recently meticulously rebuilt, and so that's
why the presentation is so fresh, right down to the correct decals.
In fact, dig a little deeper. They made sure this has the correct
four-barrel carburetor, hoses, distributor, air cleaner, fuel pump,
rev limiter, exhaust manifolds, and much more. This car also has
the highly coveted and complete Factory W-Code Drag Pack Oil Cooler
Assembly. This was Dealer Installed when the car was originally
purchased new in central VA. It all makes for the kind of package
you'll proudly lift the hood and showcase at the car shows. Of
course, a true Boss 302 was made to be driven, and so they rebuilt
the front and rear suspension for confidence on the road. The
toploader four-speed manual transmission, 3.50 limited-slip rear
end, and power brakes with front discs combine to keep you well in
control. The undercarriage photos show off a cool mix of fresh
components and the correct red undercoating paint. This one really
feels authentic, right down to the correct Mag 500 wheels with
reproduction Goodyear Polyglas GT tires.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a rare Boss 302 that's an
intoxicating mix of originality and the right investments. So it's
hard not to get excited about this coupe. Call now!
