Vehicle Description
Ford built one just for the enthusiasts in 2012. They resurrected
the Ford Mustang Boss 302 name for a special edition that is worthy
of the legend. With extra power from the V8, exclusive graphics &
features, track mode, an exceptionally low 21,265 miles, and
limited production figures, we all know this speedy pony is also a
very desirable future classic.
A late model Mustang is always a desirable choice, but this one has
a lot more attitude that we all love. Just like the original, this
Boss package made for a meaner Mustang. You see it in places like
the deep chin spoiler, rear diffuser, blacked out rear panel, and
dark 19-inch alloys. Plus, the Boss 302 striping package inspired
by Larry Shinoda's original design is worth the price of admission
all on its own. The factory Kona Blue paint still brilliantly glows
like a sapphire, which points to the low mileage and this truly
being treated like the Boss.
Inside, the synthetic suede steering wheel and machine-turned
aluminum trim are more great distinctions from the GTs out there.
But Boss fans will instantly recognize one upgrade that means a
lot. This car carries the optional Recaro seats, which are
supremely comfortable and supportive. Plus, there are built-in
provisions for race harnesses behind the Boss 302 logo stitched
into the backs. And part of this competition-ready package also
includes the TracKey - a separate red fob that signals the ECU to
reconfigure the engine and operations for optimal performance.
Beyond these special features, you're also looking at a loaded
Mustang. That means you get a ton of great luxuries, such as air
conditioning, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, power
steering and a premium AM/FM/CD/XM stereo that's loud and crisp
enough to still here your favorite songs even at the racetrack. A
modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual front
airbags, side air bags, and ABS.
What truly makes this car the Boss is the extra 32 horsepower (444
hp total) that Ford got out of its famous fuel-injected 302 V8. But
that's only the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot of expensive
custom work in the engine, including CNC porting, bigger cams, and
race-spec bearings for high-RPM use. A proper collectable like this
has probably never seen the redline, but it's nice to know it's got
the hardware to do it without issue. It looks great in the engine
bay with the large bracer bar, Boss 302 housing, and a
commemorative plaque on top identifying this as car #97 (less than
3,600 standard Boss 302s were made for North America in 2012.) The
idle for this enhanced V8 is surprisingly quiet, just like a modern
DOHC motor should. But once you unleash its full potential, the
quad exhaust has been specially formed with hidden side exhaust to
create is a true symphony of power. You are in complete control
over the sound and the fury thanks to a slick-shifting six-speed
manual transmission with well-chosen ratios. And the optional
package that added the Recaros and TracKey also added a Torsen
limited-slip rear end. The Boss 302 package also beefed up the
suspension of these Mustangs, but this one goes even further.
There's now the addition of adjustable shocks/struts, Hotchkis
frame connectors, pan-hard bars, and sway bars all make this a
Mustang that can run circle around even other Bosses (lovers of
originality will be happy to know the factory components also come
with the sale.) This total power and handling package is finished
off with Brembo four-piston four-wheel disc brakes and the grip of
BF Goodrich gForce tires.
Here's a low mileage future classic that you get to enjoy today and
show off tomorrow. So how long do you think something this
attractive will stay in our showroom? Call now!!
