Because of their relatively exclusive production and exceptionally
impressive performance, first generation Boss Mustangs continue to
command premium prices. Even though 429 cars have dominated the
psyche of restorers for quite some time, the Boss 302 has proven,
over the past five years, that Ford's storied SCCA racer is a
solid, stable investment. On that note, RK Motors Charlotte is
happy to feature this sweet Grabber Orange coupe, a correct, fully
documented show stopper that's been restored to a state far nicer
than anything that rolled out of the factory. If you're an avid
Ford enthusiast who's searching for an impressive Boss Mustang
that's poised to provide fun AND value, here's your next
classic!
BODYWORK/TRIM
In December of 1969, this razor-sharp fastback was delivered to
Ford Motor Company Figeso of Newark, New Jersey. Then, as now, the
car wore vivid Grabber Orange paint under Black Boss striping
that's a perfect complement to Larry Shinoda's angular profile
lines. That said, Ford's production-focused assembly wasn't nearly
as exacting as the car's detailed, ground-up restoration. And 1970
single-stage just didn't possess the shine and durability of modern
2-stage pigment. This coupe's big presence likely started with big
labor, as its laser-straight body is nice enough to impress pretty
much anyone who lays eyes on it. There is little to fault in the
car's paintwork, which presents clear reflections and a distinct
absence of noteworthy flaws. And overall, this surly Boss is clean,
solid and ready to prowl.
Nobody did SCCA Trans Am racing like Detroit, and nobody does pony
cars like Ford. When you combine those two dynamisms you get quite
possibly one of the coolest muscle cars ever produced. And in the
muscle car world, appeal begins with aesthetics. The front of this
Mustang is dominated by a sharp, stainless-trimmed grille, which
hangs a patriotic pony emblem between inset headlights, a flattened
bumper, small parking lamps and an aggressive chin spoiler. Behind
that grille, a correct Shaker Hood flows to tinted glass, which
rides between satin wipers, straight trim, correct Sport Slats and
correct, color-keyed mirrors. At the sides of that glass,
chrome-trimmed marker lamps triangulate old school door handles.
And at the back of the car, a Satin Black valance founds segmented
taillights and an ornate fuel filler between a second bumper, a
correct deck spoiler, wide-set "MUSTANG" lettering and small,
chrome-trimmed 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 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 requisite Autolite coil, a vivid Autolite voltage
regulator and pliable Autolite Radio Resistance plug wires. At the
base of that distributor, factory-spec internals funnel spent gases
through correct, cast iron exhaust manifolds. And in front of those
tubes, a FoMoCo radiator sends water around a shrouded fan via
pliable Autolite hoses and tight screw clamps. During its rebuild,
the raucous engine was coated in thick blue paint and crowned with
sweet aluminum valve covers. That clean appearance contrasts well
against satin fenders, and a full array of tags and decals. And
items like correct emissions equipment, a Sta-Ful battery topper
and a correct Autolite rev limiter create an authentic and complete
appearance.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Take a look at our professional, high-resolution photography and
you'll see that the bottom of this fully sorted pony is a literal
expos� in well-planned componentry. Heavily over-sprayed floors
appear solid and ready to roll. Behind the motor, a correct
Toploader 4-speed spins a familiar Ford axle that's fitted with
correct, 3.50 gears and a correct Traction-Lok differential. That
marked drivetrain is held off the ground by a fully rebuilt
Competition Suspension. At the ends of that suspension, quick-ratio
steering combines with power front disc and rear drum brakes to
provide competent track capability. Just aft of the aforementioned
manifolds, large pipes funnel roasted dinosaurs through an H-shaped
crossover and rowdy Dynomax mufflers. And at the corners of the
car, polished Magnum 500s twist meaty F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GTs
around galloping horse center caps.
INTERIOR
Between the doors you'll find a correct Black interior that's as
fresh as the day it rolled out of the upholstery shop. Correct
vinyl seats ride fade-free carpet that's centered on a correct
console, which frames a tough Hurst shifter. The dash hangs a
correct assortment of gauges, including a correct tachometer, above
an AM/FM stereo. In front of the driver, a standard steering wheel
spins monochromatic spokes around an embossed Mustang emblem. At
the sides of the passengers, textured door panels frame correct
chrome hardware. And behind the cockpit, a completely restored
trunk props a correct jack and space saver spare tire on a thick
mat.
