Back in 2002, Ford ran a commercial with then-president Bill Ford
Jr. asking the age-old question: if you could have one car for the
rest of your life, what would it be? Naturally, Bill chose a
Mustang with a "throaty V8". Given his name and position, that was
probably a pretty easy wish to grant, but it certainly isn't so
easy for the rest of us. That said; if you've been searching high
and low for a top-notch, investment worthy Mustang with big power
and plenty of curb appeal, this pedigreed Boss may be the perfect
answer. Ground-up restored and fully documented, the car features a
legendary, 302 cubic inch V8, a tough Toploader transmission,
factory power steering, power disc brakes and a striking color
combination. Forget just sitting at the show - this is prestige,
comfort and drivability wrapped in a timeless vintage shell!
HISTORY/APPEARANCE
Sold through Semmes Motors of Scarsdale, New York, this
all-American pony was passed from its first to its second owner
almost immediately. That owner, proudly possessing the car for the
next three decades, gradually transitioned it from daily driver to
unraced weekend warrior and, circa 1980, stored, original gem. In
2000, the Ford was adopted in to the Gary Whitman Collection where
it received a detailed, ground-up restoration. And today, thanks to
impeccable maintenance, this thoroughbred's correct Calypso Coral
pigment presents exceptionally well, highlighting crisp body lines
that are favorably accented by classic Boss war regalia.
For 1970 the Mustang received a smoother body, a less aggressive
face, a flat rear valence and a variety of balanced trim tweaks.
The idea was to tame looks that some believed were hindering sales
and better the car's performance in crucial SCCA Trans Am events.
At the leading edge of this super slick Boss, a correct,
Mustang-branded grille hangs bright halogen headlights between
familiar 'fender fins', a pristine bumper, clear parking lamps and
an aggressive chin spoiler. At the top of that grille, an optional
shaker hood leads the eye to like-new glass that's framed in
satin-finished wipers, correct sport mirrors and straight stainless
trim. At the sides of that glass, re-fashioned quarters combine
with chrome-trimmed marker lamps and classy chrome door handles to
provide an aggressive, yet finished appearance. At the back of
those quarters, correct Sport Slats descend in to a familiar deck
spoiler. And beneath that spoiler, a Satin Black valence anchors an
ornate fuel filler and segmented taillights between a fresh
"MUSTANG" script, a second pristine bumper and wide-set reverse
lamps.
ENGINE
The legendary Windsor 302 needs no introduction. Advertised with
290 horsepower, which just happens to be the same number claimed by
Chevy's SCCA Camaro, builders and racers have LONG known that this
thoroughbred mill is capable of cranking out some serious oomph. At
the top of the spry block, the aforementioned shaker feeds a big
Holley 4-barrel that's seated on a correct aluminum intake. In
front of that Holley, a traditional points distributor sequences
fire between a fresh Autolite coil, a vivid Autolite voltage
regulator and proven Autolite Radio Resistance cables. At the sides
of that distributor, correct, cast exhaust manifolds funnel spent
gases in to menacing, true-dual pipes. And in front of those tubes,
a glossy radiator sends water around a shrouded fan via pliable
Autolite hoses and tight screw clamps. As you can probably tell,
the raucous engine has been coated in thick blue paint and crowned
with sweet aluminum valve covers. That clean appearance contrasts
well against Satin Black fenders and a full array of tags and
decals. And everything, from the car's tagged Sta-Ful battery
topper to its correct Autolite rev limiter, looks 100% authentic
and complete.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Aesthetically, the bottom of this old school pony has been restored
to the same high standards as its striking exterior and clean
engine compartment. Behind the motor, a tough Toploader 4-speed,
which hangs a correct C8AR-7006-W casting number over a correct
"RUG AV" assembly tag, spins a familiar Ford axle. That awesome
drivetrain is held off the ground by a fully rebuilt Competition
Suspension. At the ends of that suspension, correct power steering
combines with power front disc and rear drum brakes to provide
competent track capability. Overhead, solid, Calypso Coral
floorpans look rust-free and ready to roll. In the middle of those
floors, Atlantic Tube pipes funnel roasted dinosaurs through an
H-shaped crossover and throaty turbo mufflers. And at the sides of
that exhaust, correct Magnum 500s twist meaty F60-15 Goodyear
Polyglas GTs around galloping horse center caps.
INTERIOR
Inside the car, a correct White interior features freshly
re-covered seats and simple stainless accents that blend seamlessly
with their bright orange shell. Everything from the tight headliner
to the pony-branded floor mats appears restoration-fresh. The dash
is loaded with rebuilt gauges, features a correct Philco stereo,
and looks good in fade-free faux wood trim. At the floor, a
traditional Hurst T-handle rides inside a stylish, hard-lined
console. In front of the driver, a standard steering wheel spins
wood-trimmed spokes around a red Mustang emblem. At the sides of
the passengers, 2-tone door panels add a little class. And behind
the cockpit, a completely restored trunk features a small spare
tire.
