1970 Ford Boss 302 For Sale - Factory Grabber Orange, Factory
Shaker, Numbers Matching Engine LMC is very proud too offer for
sale this 1970 Ford Boss 302 Ford's Boss 302 was conceived as a
no-nonsense performance weapon, built to take direct aim at
Chevrolet's Camaro Z/28 both on the street and on the track.
Developed specifically for competition in the Sports Car Club of
America's Trans-Am series, the Boss 302 proved that reduced weight,
precise handling, and intelligent engineering could outperform
brute force. At its heart was a specially modified 302-cubic-inch
V-8 rated at 290 horsepower, paired with a competition-bred
suspension, quicker steering, and F60x15 tires-creating a Mustang
that was equally at home carving corners or cruising public roads.
Its success in the showroom mirrored its dominance on the circuit,
offering buyers a true race-bred car with real-world drivability.
Contemporary road tests confirmed the Boss 302's dual-purpose
brilliance. In its February 1970 issue, Car & Driver praised the
car's refinement and composure, noting that it was "quiet and
exudes quality, very much like an expensive European GT car." The
magazine went on to highlight the stiffness and control of the
suspension, emphasizing the absence of rattles or flex even over
rough pavement. Performance figures were equally impressive, with
the Boss 302 completing the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds at 93.4
mph. In full Trans-Am specification, the Boss 302 would ultimately
secure the Manufacturer's Championship for Ford in 1970. According
to its Marti Report, this Boss 302 was originally delivered to HP
Smith Motors Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska, and retains its
numbers-matching engine. It was assembled at Ford's Dearborn,
Michigan plant and completed on March 23, 1970. Finished in its
striking factory Grabber Orange, this Boss 302 is further equipped
with Black Clarion Knit and Corinthian vinyl bucket seats, a 3.91
Trac-Lok rear axle, four-speed manual transmission, F60x15 belted
white-letter tires, Shaker hood scoop, center console, power
steering, AM radio, Decor Group, and Magnum 500 chrome wheels. The
rotisserie restoration was carried out to a high standard, with an
emphasis on correctness throughout. The body was stripped to bare
metal, allowing every component of the chassis, underbody, and
suspension to be meticulously inspected, restored, and detailed.
Correct finishes, fasteners, and hardware were used wherever
applicable, ensuring authenticity down to the smallest detail. The
result is a Boss 302 that presents as it would have when new, with
exceptional fit and finish. Presented in excellent condition
throughout, this outstanding example represents the pinnacle of
Ford's Trans-Am era and would make a compelling addition to any
serious Ford or muscle car collection. Additional Details: 1970
