INTRODUCTION: Wanna be the boss? This is the way to do it without
putting in countless hours of work. We have a #s matching car with
spotless original metal and it's documented by a Marti report too.
It is a one family (two owner) car that was pulled from a basement
where it had been hibernating for 30 years, then it received a
detailed three year nut & bolt restoration. Remarkably, it retains
its original #s-matching engine, 4-speed trans, and rear end as
well. "People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The
leader leads, and the boss drives" (Theodore Roosevelt). Now is
your time to get behind the wheel!
EXTERIOR: Eye appeal! The Grabber Blue paint commands attention and
in my opinion is one of the most attractive colors of the muscle
car era. The factory correct color has been reapplied with great
attention to detail then polished to a smooth and reflective
finish. Claimed by the restorer to have its original metal. Looking
down the side of the laser straight original steel body is
satisfying with all the smooth contours and crisp lines. The panels
were painstakingly aligned with nice consistent gaps that are well
above average. The door is open and close easily with minimal
effort. The front and rear spoilers plus window louvers greatly
enhance the profile. The front grille looks like new and it has
Ford branded headlights too. All the glass is nice and clear with
new rubber seals and fuzzy strips also. The chrome and polished
pieces have all been refinished, presenting beautifully with a
phenomenal shine. The factory style Boss 302 reflective striping
compliments the interior perfectly and looks tough too. It's
sitting on a nice set of 15" Magnum 500 Wheels wrapped in
BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: Fresh and fantastic! Both front and back seats are
looking good, plus they are equipped with seat belts.. The door
panels, headliner, and carpeting have also been replaced with good
quality components. It has factory gauges including an optional
tachometer. Sitting proudly front and center is a Hurst 4 speed
manual shifter attached to the numbers matching transmission. The
rear package shelf is in great shape with two aftermarket speakers
neatly installed.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Proper presentation! The rebuilt numbers
matching 302 Boss is a high revving legendary engine. This one
appears fresh and clean down to the new nuts and bolts. The power
plant is nicely dressed with the correct air cleaner and valve
covers. Pristine Ford Blue paint adorns the engine. All the hoses
and belts have been replaced. The battery is properly secured plus
the horns are hooked up. The radiator looks to be rebuilt or
replaced and it's equipped with power disc brakes too. Under the
hood, fender Wells, and firewall are all very neatly painted satin
black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Refinished! Under the trunk lid and inside the
jamb have been neatly repainted and the weatherstrip was replaced.
Inside the trunk has a vinyl mat. Under the mat is a new gas tank
and surrounding it is all clean original steel that is neatly
painted satin black.
UNDERSIDE: Clean as a whistle! It is nut and bolt restored but even
more impressive, it retains all original rust free metal. A very
clean car before the restoration, the floors have merely been
freshened with a light dusting of black paint. The Boss 302 came
standard with Competition Suspension, it included heavy duty
springs, heavy duty shocks and larger stabilizer bars both front
and rear. The staggered rear shocks were designed to control wheel
hop. The entire suspension on this car has been rebuilt and
detailed. It has been upgraded with gas shocks too.
The brake system was totally restored including power disc brakes
up front and drums out back. All the lines and hoses were replaced
plus the emergency brake is functional. It has a dual exhaust
system with a crossover pipe, Flowmaster mufflers, and turned down
tailpipes. The fuel system has also been replaced, including a new
fuel tank. Looking up at the engine everything is spotless and
detailed in correct Ford blue. It has been upgraded with a high
torque starter. The original Ford Toploader 4 speed manual
transmission was completely rebuilt and retains its correct
identification tag, casting codes, and matching partial VIN as
well. In back is the original Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 gears,
which is properly dated and has been rebuilt. Overall, the
underside is exceptionally clean!

CONCLUSION: If you don't like lots of attention and compliments,
please do not buy this car! Not only does it look awesome and drive
great but it's also a smart place to park your money for investment
purposes. Get in, turn the key, and never look back!
