1970 Ford BOSS 302 For Sale - Exceptional No Expense Spared
Restoration LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1970 Ford BOSS
302 The pony car rivalry had begun in 1967 with the introduction of
the Chevrolet Camaro by General Motors. The Camaro gave Ford its
first real competition since the introduction of the Mustang in
1964. However, revenge was sweet with the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss
302. The name was inspired by Ford stylist Larry Shinoda, who had a
nickname among Ford employees of "Boss" and 302 was the motor to
power this legendary mustang. Under the hood, the Boss's
high-output 302 V-8 was said to produce 290 horsepower at 4600 rpm,
actual output was estimated to be far higher. Mated to the motor is
the optional wide ratio 4-speed manual. Ford spared no expense to
ensure this would be a Trans-Am-worthy power plant, installing new
"dry-deck" Cleveland-style heads with 2.33-inch intake valves and
no head gaskets, solid lifters, an aluminum high-riser manifold,
super-high-flow Holley four-barrel carburetor, high-capacity
dual-point ignition, four-bolt central-main-bearing caps,
cross-drilled forged crankshaft, and special pistons. This rare
Boss 302 was sold new on October 31st, 1969 to its original owner
and was factory finished as you see it today in the highly
desirable Calypso Coral paint and White Rhino/Corinthian vinyl
bucket seat interior. This car is nicely optioned with Shaker Hood,
rear deck spoiler, traction-lok differential, sport slats, console,
power steering, tachometer and F60x15 belted tires w/raised white
letters The car has benefited from a beautiful rotisserie
restoration back to showroom new. The Boss was stripped to bare
metal to be refinished in a show quality Caylpso Coral paint which
was then wet sanded and polished. The undercarriage was painted in
red oxide with body color overspray and such factory details such
as inspection marking, batch primer, and black spot welds were
recreated. The engine is detailed with correct inspection markings,
inspection stickers and tags. Close inspection reveals a numbers
matching BOSS 302 engine still remains under the shaker hood backed
by the RUG-AW close-ratio Top Loader 4-speed putting power back to
the factory 3.50 gears. Complete with its mandatory Hurst Shifter.
To further this Boss 302's investment potential it comes fully
documented with Deluxe Marti Report, Build Sheet, Dealer Invoice
and Restoration Documentation. This rare and desirable factory BOSS
302 has all the essential criteria to make it a truly desirable
BOSS to both collectors and enthusiasts alike. Additional Details:
