2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 #793
Too Many Cars + Too Little Time = TIME TO THIN THE HERD . . . a little
Offered Here at NO RESERVE
A couple of years ago I was looking for a modern, high-performance car that could hold my wife and son yet wasn't loaded-down with additional gadgetry and amenities that did not enhance with the driving experience. As the owner of a couple of older BMWs I had considered a new M3 but was ultimately turned off by all the extra "stuff" that apparently cannot be avoided with a modern BMW. I was looking for something more "pure and simple" and thus became quite interested in the new Boss 302 but after calling around a bit, had all but given up on a 2012 since by that time all seemed to have been spoken for. Then through pure luck I stumbled on a dealer that had just been awarded a Boss 302 allocation in Ford's lottery. I ordered it the next day and took delivery of this car in early July 2011. While the Boss fit the bill brilliantly and has exceeded my expectations, I can no longer ignore the realities of owning and more importantly, maintaining six cars (four of which range from 22 to 43 years old). So it's time to let this one go so my other cars can benefit from more of my time and "resources".
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Specifications:
- Drive Type: Front engine, rear-wheel drive
- Transmission Type: Six-speed manual
- Engine Type: naturally aspirated V8
- Displacement (cc/cu-in): 4,951/302
- Redline (rpm): 7,500
- Horsepower (hp @ rpm): 444 @ 7,400 rpm
- Torque (lb-ft @ rpm): 380 @ 4,500
- Brake Type (front): 14.0-inch ventilated discs with 4-piston Brembo fixed calipers
- Brake Type (rear): 11.8-inch ventilated discs with single-piston sliding calipers
- Suspension Type(front): Independent MacPherson strut, manually adjustable dampers, stabilizer bar
- Suspension Type (rear): Solid axle, Panhard bar, stabilizer bar, manually adjustable dampers
- Tires: Pirelli P Zero 255/40ZR19 (front), 285/35ZR19 (rear)
- Curb Weight (lb): 3,630
Beyond the raw numbers, probably the most surprising thing about this car is how much different it feels compared to a Mustang GT of the same year. The relative simplicity of the Boss gives it a more purposeful feel and the manually adjustable Recaro seats do a fantastic job of keeping the driver in place. In the handling department, the Boss feels noticeably smaller and lighter on its feet (although I don't think it actually weighs much less) that's more like a sports car rather than a high-speed grand-tourer. Adjusting the dampers makes a noticeable difference in the balance between compliance and agility. On less than perfect roads, the full-soft setting is quite comfortable (though still sporty) but when the roads smooth out, stiffer settings noticeably sharpen the cars response to the driver's inputs. Along with the suspension, the large brakes and sticky tires combine to give the car extremely high limits.
The other thing that sets the Boss 302 apart from the Mustang GT and many other modern cars is the engine. Throttle response is noticeably quicker and it wants to keep pulling harder and harder as you approach the rev limit. It behaves more like a thoroughbred race engine when pushed yet doesn't sacrifice the tractability and around-town civility of the GT's V8 when loafing around town. I find that most other modern cars I've driven feel a bit lazy by comparison.
As stated in the condition description section, the car has been carefully maintained and driven respectfully since new. For example, I was careful never to exceed 4000 rpm until the engine had reached operating temperature. Needless to say, this car has never see winter conditions or clutch-dumping launches. It has never been smoked in, eaten in or damaged. It has had one oil change by the dealer at ~3000 miles at which time I had them pull an oil sample that I sent to Blackstone Labs for analysis (which I can provide). I have no doubt that the car will stand up to any evaluation and will gladly arrange for a pre-purchase inspection for seriously interested parties.
I welcome any and all questions about the car and will do my best to provide additional photos if someone wants to see something specific. I will also accommodate individuals who would like to view the car in person before bidding.
Finally, I'm willing to let the market determine what this car is worth and as such, am listing it without reserve. I take the auction process seriously so I will not end the auction early out of respect for other bidders. I will work with the buyer to arrange shipping as necessary. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever but I used Interstate to ship an old Porsche from California to my home in Iowa and was very impressed with their professionalism.
Thank you for looking and happy bidding!!!

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
More than half of Mazdas sold in 2018 are CX-5s, and other interesting sales facts
Mon, Jan 7 2019Last year was a seriously good year for carmakers. Overall, more vehicles were sold than in 2017, and the total number wasn't far off of the all-time record in 2016. Digging deeper into the numbers, you'll find some pretty usual stuff including the Ford F-Series still being the bestselling pickup truck in America, and a continued trend toward crossovers. But there are also some oddball factoids tucked in these sales reports, some that defy the trends, and some that are extremes of the public's buying preferences. We've compiled several interesting tidbits from last year's sales right here for your enjoyment. More than half of Mazda's sales were of CX-5s Yes, over half of all Mazda sales were of this one model. The company sold 300,325 cars in America last year, and 150,622 of them were CX-5 crossovers, or 50.1 percent. Just for emphasis, that means the other 49.8 percent of Mazda's sales were split among five other models, the Miata, 3, 6, CX-3 and CX-9. Breaking that down further, the second-best seller was the Mazda3 at 64,638, which isn't even half of the CX-5's sales. People are crazy for Mazda's middle crossover. Volkswagen actually sold more cars than crossovers It's clear that the crossover is the future king of car sales. For most mainstream brands, it already is. Chevy, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Mazda and Nissan all sold more crossovers and SUVs than they did conventional sedans and hatchbacks. There are holdouts, though, and one of them is Volkswagen. At the end of 2018, the company sold 189,343 cars and 164,721 crossovers in the U.S. So that's one win for the classic car set, and it's justification for VW to maintain its car line for the foreseeable future. It's a bit of a hollow victory, though. Look closer and you'll see that car sales were down 28 percent from 2017, when VW sold 262,029 cars. Crossovers, on the other hand, jumped 112 percent from 2017 when 77,647 crossovers moved through U.S. dealers. So expect the tables to turn very soon. Mustang is still the muscle-car sales king, but Challenger is the only one to improve Once again, the Ford Mustang topped the muscle-car sales charts, beating out the Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro. Ford moved 75,842 of the ponies in 2018, while Dodge sold 66,716 Challengers for second place, and Chevy sold 50,963 Camaros to bring up the rear.
