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.

Stocks down as automakers, Boeing lead China's hit list in trade spat
Wed, Apr 4 2018Shares in U.S. exporters of everything from planes to tractors fell on Wednesday after China retaliated against the Trump administration's tariff plans by proposing duties on key U.S. imports including soybeans, beef and chemicals. U.S. automakers' products are prominent on China's list of tariff targets, yet shares of automakers ended higher on Wednesday as Wall Street stocks changed course in the afternoon when investors' trade fears subsided. Tesla shares closed 7.3 percent higher at $286.94, Ford shares gained 1.6 percent to close at $11.33, and GM shares were up 3 percent at $38.03. Aircraft maker Boeing closed down 1 percent, weighing the most on the Dow Jones Industrial Average as documents from China's Ministry of Commerce and the U.S. manufacturer showed the move would affect some older Boeing narrowbody models. It was not immediately clear how much the tariffs would impact its newer aircraft. Boeing said it was assessing the situation while analysts from JP Morgan said the proposals from China looked to have been calibrated carefully to avoid a major impact on the planemaker. Fellow Dow component 3M lost as much as 2.4 percent. And farming equipment maker Deere lost nearly $10 per share at its lowest. The company urged the two countries to work toward a resolution to "limit uncertainty for farmers and avoid meaningful disruptions to agricultural trade." The speed with which the trade spat between Washington and Beijing is ratcheting up — the Chinese government took less than 11 hours to respond with its own measures — led to a sharp selloff in global stock markets and commodities. China was hitting back against U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to impose tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese goods with similar tariffs on U.S. goods even as Trump said the country is "not in a trade war with China." "Everybody knew they were going to retaliate. The question was how strong of a retaliation. Today's move clearly shows that they mean business," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of 50 Park Investments in New York. China levied 25 percent additional tariffs on U.S. goods, but unlike Washington's list that covers many obscure industrial items, Beijing's covers 106 key U.S. imports including soybeans, planes, cars, whiskey and chemicals. Trump denied that the tit-for-tat moves amounted to a trade war between the world's two economic superpowers.

2020 Ford Explorer ST vs 2019 Dodge Durango SRT: How they compare on paper
Mon, Jan 14 2019For a few years now, the Dodge Durango SRT has been the sole three-row performance crossover from a non-luxury brand. That all changes now that the 2020 Ford Explorer ST is coming to market. Now we have two family crossovers with rear-drive-based platforms vying for buyers that demand practicality and power. As such, there's no better time to dig into their specs to see how they compare. We'll check out each crossover's horsepower, torque, space, capability and prices. The full specs are listed below, followed by some analysis afterward. We also compared the regular 2020 Explorer models to other crossovers in this segment, if if that's not enough, you can check out our car comparison tool. Performance The Explorer and Durango go about making power in very different ways. The Explorer goes the force-fed route with two turbos feeding a 3.0-liter V6, while the Durango's enormous 6.4-liter V8 produces power with air flow au natural. Of the two, the Durango has the greater output of 475 ponies and 470 pound-feet of torque, feeding the flames of everyone that lives by the phrase "There's no replacement for displacement." The Explorer is no slouch at 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, though. Performance isn't purely based on power, though. Other factors play a role, such as weight, and in that regard, the Explorer is way ahead. At 4,701 pounds, it weighs a massive 809 pounds less than the portly Durango. This also means that both crossovers are very close in weight-to-power ratio, with the Explorer only slightly worse at 11.75 pounds per horsepower and the Durango at 11.6. Less weight will also play a roll in handling, and the Explorer is likely to feel sprightlier without so much mass to shift back and forth. Semi-related to handling are tire sizes. The Durango features 295-mm wide tires on 20-inch wheels. The Explorer has 255-mm wide tires on 20-inch wheels, but 21-inch wheels with 275-mm tires are available. So the Durango is working with more contact patch, but as we mentioned, it's carrying a lot more weight. 2020 Ford Explorer ST View 20 Photos Interior Space and Practicality Although the Durango SRT is the largest on the outside in every dimension, it loses out to Explorer repeatedly inside. The Ford has more headroom, leg room and shoulder room in nearly every row except the third-row where headroom comes up a bit short.
