A real-deal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 fully restoredand#44; finished in iconic Grabber Blueand#44; and with a rebuilt Boss 302 V8 that was purposely tuned for added power and civil street use. This rare example of Fords Trans-Am warrior is truly one reserved for the best collectors who also want to drive their classics. A race car for the roadand#44; thats what it means to be the Boss. Since these cars are now first-tier collector piecesand#44; theres just no excuse to cut corners on the restorationand#44; and despite this cars race-bred DNAand#44; it appears to have never been raced or abused. Insteadand#44; its amazingly straight and expertly restored so that theres nothing to get in the way of getting as many trophies at a car show as it would earn on the track. Grabber Blue is a truly iconic Ford colorand#44; and this has been expertly applied so the light dances off the special 1970 design features. Another great part of this legend is Larry Shinodas satin black hood and side graphics that make this a style master. But dont mistake elegance for gentleness. The shaker hoodand#44; front air splitterand#44; rear window slatsand#44; and rear spoiler are all reminders of this coupes aggression. The all-black interior is makes it feel like this Boss is always ready to get down to business. The drivers seat feels like a 70s executive chairand#44; thanks to plenty of premium options that were ordered directly from the factoryand#44; such as the Corinthian vinyl seatsand#44; center consoleand#44; and plenty of tasteful wood paneling. Everything looks so fresh and new because during both the restoration and the after careand#44; anything that was not up to standard was repaired or correctly replaced. Thats why the factory AM radio still works and the clock is still ticking away. You get the original-style Mustang steering wheeland#44; and beyond that are a clear set of original gauges. In factand#44; the only upgrade you might spot is the large AutoMeter tach w/shift light. Thats there for a very good reasonand#44; and that special and correct Hurst shifter sticking out of the center console is why. What really makes the Boss 302 special is whats in the engine bayand#44; and a lot of attention was paid to getting it right. With a car that looks this good inside and outand#44; it was no surprise that it was chosen to be an honorary pace car for the Darlington NASCAR race in 2015. Because of thisand#44; the consignor had a 1970 correct Boss 302 block built to correct specs (only about 150 miles has been added since.) That means a four-bolt mainand#44; forged crankand#44; Cleveland-style headsand#44; special aluminum intakeand#44; and all the other components that make the Boss tops. But this was not just a textbook rebuild. The people at KT Engine Development worked on turning the track car into a more everyday friendly vehicle. Give us a calland#44; and well share the full build details about the modern internals that make this the most streetable Boss youll ever see. But more importantlyand#44; youll also discover that this fast Ford did not lose it soul in the process. In factand#44; its 368 horsepower dyno sheet would be the envy of every Boss in 1970. You get complete control over this enhanced power thanks to the close-ratio four-speed manual that feeds the rebuilt 9-inch rear - featuring 3.91 gears and a Trac-Lok limited slip for great take-offs. Add in power steeringand#44; front disc brakesand#44; and modern Tiger Paw rubber on the those iconic Magnum 500 wheelsand#44; and this is truly an impressive package you can drive any time. Youve seen the level of restoration on this one (we bet you even recognized the correct red oxide undercarriage). We even have the owners manualand#44; maintenance recordsand#44; and Marti Report to remind you how amazing this coupe is. But all you really have to do is take one lookand#44; and you know this is the rare opportunity of a |
