Vehicle Description
2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302
Pre-production cars are vehicles that allow the automaker to find
problems before a new model goes on sale to the public.
Pre-production cars come after prototypes, or development mules
which themselves are preceded by concept cars. Pre-production
vehicles are followed by production vehicles in the mass production
of them for distribution through car dealerships.
For consignment, a pre-production 2013 Boss 302 Mustang that has
the unique distinction of being 1 of 14 cars of which only 11 still
exist. Furthermore its 1 of a total of 3 produced in School Bus
Yellow. All is right with this car including extensive
documentation, a snappy interior, and of course, the track key.
With a mere 7,661 miles clocked on her it's a very low mileage
example and it's a one of three.
Exterior
Bathed in School Bus Yellow, its low number claim to fame, all
panels are laser straight, gaps are well minded, with contrasting
black hood bump up area covered with a satin finish wide racing
stripe, and the essential hockey stick cove with Boss 302 badging
all is right with this mass of muscle. Trimmings present in black
as window surrounds, front spoiler, and rear spoiler. The Mustang
has retained its original design cues and lines from the first
version in 1964-1/2. Front end has become more smoothed, but still
menacing, cove is there, and the rear taillights are still in
groups of 3's. Even the B pillar uses the curved window for the
rear passengers, this time in lieu of the original venting that was
on some of the first version fastbacks. 19-inch black powder coated
wheels are on all 4 corners and use the galloping horse badge in
the central hub.
Interior
Inside we have near perfect suede broadcloth high backed bucket
seats by Recaro. These chairs sport an additional headrest on top.
With plenty of side bolstering on the seat and back it definitely
helps keep you firmly planted there when utilizing the track key,
and I'm speaking from experience! These buckets also sport Boss 302
embroidering on the upper backs and are manually operated. A
similar design 2 plus 2 rear seating arrangement is stuffed in the
back. For the dash, also in black and gray, we see blue glowing
readouts for the instruments and push-button controls. A simple
layout again harkening back to the original with dual rounded large
gauges and centrally located panel with other smaller gauges. A
leather covered steering wheel is the perfect size for this car and
sports some control buttons at your fingertips. Dark gray carpet
all clean, covers the floors, and a tight dark gray headliner is
above. Wheels up!
Drivetrain
A 5.0 liter V8 Coyote engine is stuffed into the engine bay under
the hood. It has a cold air induction system that feeds air to
electronic fuel injection. On the back is an MT-82 6-speed manual
transmission, and for the rear axle a Ford 8.8 inch 3.73 TracLoc
rear axle setup. A shout out to this engine as it looks absolutely
showroom with highly detailed clean components, plastic coverings
and blue valve covers. And an award winner for this engine bay.
Undercarriage
Underneath ground effects plastic coverings abound and no surface
rust for the unibody, floorpans, rockers and even wheel wells, all
clean here! Manual adjustable suspension with independent
Macpherson style struts for the front, and 3 link with Panhard bar
rear suspension. Power Wilwood front discs are now on, and the rear
also has power discs. Rear and side exit exhausts offer up plenty
of breathing for the 5.0 liters of power to exit.
Drive-Ability
With track key on hand, she fired right up, and out was off to the
test track, which is why I used the track key! Here it has plenty
of acceleration, smooth quick ability to shift manually with the
short throw shifter, and quick panic stopping. It also provided a
nice low rumble cruise at highway speed. All functions were working
perfectly, and seating was very comfortable. Use caution with the
track key though because all the typical nannies are disabled so
you can easily have the rear trying to outrun the front with this
mode on. The consigner states the original transmission was
replaced on a warranty issue that could not be fixed on the
original.
School Bus Yellow, 1 of 3 pre-production cars available, documented
as built in 2011 but has a 2013 VIN tag now available for
consignment. Nicely preserved, low, low miles, and near perfect
exterior. Highly detailed engine bay, and comfortable Recaro seat
interior. Definitely an "E" ticket ride with some throwback to its
original roots adding nice touches. They call me mellow
yellow...Quite Right...
