Shaker Hood 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 December 6th, 1969 at Service Motors Inc.
in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. This 1970 BOSS 302 Mustang has been a
special car since day one factory finished as you see it today in
the highly desirable Grabber Orange with Black Rhino/Corinthian
Vinyl interior. This car is nicely optioned with factory ordered
Shaker Hood, Rear Spoiler, Sport Slats, F60x15 Belted Tires, Power
Brakes, Tachometer, Power Steering, Chin Spoiler, Magnum 500 Wheels
and AM radio. The car has benefited from a beautiful restoration.
Before the restoration, the car was an extremely well preserved,
low mile survivor and remained very much in all original condition.
The Boss was stripped to bare metal to be refinished in its
factory-delivered Grabber Orange paint which was then wet sanded
and polished. The undercarriage was painted in red oxide with body
color overspray and included factory details such as inspection
marking, batch primer, and blackout spot welds were recreated. The
engine is detailed with correct inspection markings, inspection
stickers and tags. Close inspection reveals that the numbers
matching BOSS 302 engine still remains under the shaker hood backed
by the factory RUG-AW Boss close-ratio Top Loader 4-speed putting
power back to the factory 3.50 gears. Complete with its mandatory
Hurst Shifter. These cars were made famous as the George Follmer's
"Grabber Orange" Trans Am Boss 302 Mustangs would dominate the
racing circuits throughout 1970. The Ford BOSS Mustangs are among
the great muscle cars of the day, this particular car checks off
all the boxes of being the "right" example. To further this Boss
