1970 Mustang Boss 302. The Boss 302 Mustang is one of the most famous and iconic high performance versions from the
Ford Mustang stable.
Designed by Larry Shinoda, the name Boss came about when he was asked what project he was working on.
He answered the boss car because the project was both a secret and for the Boss as an homage to the new President
of Ford Semon Bunkie Knudson who had brought him over from GM. Ford was determined to win on the racetrack and
thereby attempt to win
the Camaro/Mustang rivalry in the pony carsegment created by the Mustangs debut in mid-year 1964.
Their focus was on the Sports Car Club of Americas Trans-Am series, a version of stock-car racing
with a five-liter class that saw Detroit build some impressive handling factory machines to compete.
In the 70 season the Boss 302 team led by Bud Moore had drivers Parnelli Jones and George Follmer up against the
AAR Cudas,
Pontiac Firebird, Camaros, and Penske AMC Javelins. Ford won the championship with driver champion Parnelli Jones.
The Boss models produced in 1969 and 1970 have become sought after by collectors and the name wasnt used again
until the 2012 and 2013 model years.
The 1970 model year changes included side hockey stick stripes,
along with the 70 grille which replaced the 4 headlights with two vents in the outside position while retaining
dual headlights within the grille.
The dual exhaust system was redesigned, along with the competition suspension and a standard Hurst shifter. The
black sports slats, shaker hood,
front and rear spoiler with a set of magnum 500s set off the Boss 302 in any color.
It was one of the first production models with a front spoiler/rear deck wing. With a suggested price of $3,720,
a total of 7,014 were sold. Back in the day, Ford ads declared the Mustang Boss 302 as Pure Performance All the
Way.
The Shaker Hood suggests at what lurks under the hood. The view is a wonderful detailed engine bay with the
familiar Ford Blue power plant.
The mighty 302-cid engine was a composite engine using the Windsor block and large Cleveland style heads.
With ports the size of beer bottles and 2.19 inch intake valve , the boss wouldnt run out of air at even 8000 rpm.
The Boss 302 engine was built for the express purpose of meeting the guidelines to compete in the Trans-Am racing
series.
This original G Code engine was rated at 290 hp, however modern day tests show the engine may have been severely
underrated,
The engine and associated components have been correctly restored, complete with all the proper FoMoCo radiator,
battery,decals and tags.
These cars had aluminum valve covers and dual exhaust to carry the harmonious sound of the engine.
The wide-ratio four-speed manual transmission is sporting the T-handle Hurst Competition Shifter
which is arguably one of the most famous looking shifters of the muscle car era.
This handle provides the driver a fantastic grip on the power to be unleashed.
Standard were power front disc brakes and rear drum brakes to help slow down this low riding muscle car.
The virgin body of this car has been handsomely restored and is a rare opportunity to own a majestic Mustang.
This Boss 302 is a stunning example in the GRABBER ORANGE.The exterior proudly displays the beautiful deep
reflection of the GRABBER ORANGE,
which is sometimes described by Mustang fans as Competition ORANGE or Grabber ORANGE.
The factory correct blackout areas of the car are in excellent condition.
The unmistakable Boss 302 racing stripes start at the hood and finish underneath the rear side marker lights.
The exterior is further adorned with bright chrome bumpers that gleam with depth,
dual color-keyed racing mirrors/drivers side remote, large Black Front and Rear Deck Spoiler and Black Matte Shaker
Hood Scoop.
This Sports Roof has been fitted with the optional rear window Louvers/Sports Slats providing a classic look.
The undercarriage of this Boss 302 is nicely detailed to a show quilty restoration.
New raised lettered Goodyear Polyglas tires mounted on Magnum 500 sparkling chrome wheels finish the side view.
The fender trim tag and a Marti Report on file confirm all the factory chosen options for this Orange Stang.
This example is an early model constructed on JANUARY 1970 at DEARBORN.
The car was ordered by the OKLAHOMA CITY Ordering District and delivered to the PRAGUE Motor SALES dealership in
PRAGUE OKLAHOMA.
The Eminger Report/Dealer Invoice Copy showing a $3987.20 total for the vehicle is on file and this Stang is listed
in the Boss 302 Registry.
The Black Rhino/Corinthian standard vinyl interior is presented in excellent condition
with front contoured bucket seats and the optional Sport Deck Rear Seat.
The Black Bucket seats are in top quality condition and extremely comfortable.
The driver will enjoy the conveniences of a well-appointed all Black interior with a nice wood steering wheel and a
dash equipped with the AM Radio,
Tach and Trip gauges. A factory console runs between the seats housing the Hurst T-Handle Shifter.
In their February 1970 issue, Car & Driver praised the Boss street manners,
stating that it is quiet and exudes quality, very much like an expensive European GT car.
The stiff suspension and high shock absorber control give it a very purposeful feel,
and because the body doesnt quiver or rattle when you hit a bump, the overall impression is most satisfying.
A great opportunity to own a fantastic BOSS 302 and relive the glory days of the early 70s.

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
