Is the Boss the best-looking Mustang ever? Hard to deny that its got all the right ingredientsand#44; and that probably explains this very attractive 1970 Boss 302 tribute that nails the look and delivers a bit more performance than youd expectand#44; even from the legendary Boss. Grabber Orange is the quintessential Boss 302 color and combined with Larry Shinodas graphicsand#44; its one of the most iconic Mustangs of the muscle car era. This tribute does a great job of capturing the sleek race-inspired look which includes the chin spoilerand#44; hood scoopand#44; rear window slatsand#44; and a wing on the rear deckand#44; all of which seem to make the sportsroof look even longer and lower than it is. The paint job is quite niceand#44; good enough to make everyone look twiceand#44; but not so nice that youre afraid to drive it (after alland#44; whats the point of a tribute if you cant hammer it now and then?). The stripes were applied after the urethane paint was dry and the satin black hood treatmentand#44; hood pinsand#44; and blacked-out tail panel are little details that only enhance the look. Chrome bumpers sparkle against the paintand#44; providing a cool contrast that really works on the early Mustang. The black interior is largely stockand#44; albeit nicely restored. The bucket seats show minor signs of useand#44; but the vinyl seat covers are accurate reproductions that will wear like iron as you enjoy your new pony. The black dash pad is in good shape and the matching carpets are in excellent condition thanks to a set of Ford-logo mats. Factory gauges are a little fadedand#44; but they all work and with a fold-down back seatand#44; this Mustang is a surprisingly practical car that can be used every day if youd like. The original AM radio still lives in the dashand#44; just ahead of the Hurst T-handle shifter on the 4-speed gearbox that was mandatory equipment with every Boss sold. You can tell that this one was originally a more upscale Mach 1 from all the faux wood in the interiorand#44; but it makes a nice complement to the Bosss take-no-prisoners attitude. Pop the trunk and youll find a correctly finished cargo bay with plaid mat and full-sized spare with jack. The 302 in the original was a potent small blockand#44; but this tribute one-ups the original with a snarling 351 Cleveland V8 punched out to 393 cubic inches. With 91 more cubes to work withand#44; this one makes impressive torque and thanks to the 351Cs legendary deep breathing abilitiesand#44; it loves to rev like the original Boss did. Its making a claimed 594 horsepowerand#44; so itll definitely get your attentionand#44; and it looks so good under the hood that itll make you look forward to checking the oil every time you fill it up. An MSD ignition system and its characteristic red coil makes the heat and a big radiator effortlessly handles the cooling chores. Long-tube headers bolster torque production and Flowmaster mufflers give it that distinctive Mustang sound that fans love and competitors have learned to fear. Lots of new suspension components ensure a smooth ride and straight tracking on the roadand#44; and those pretty 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels look appropriateand#44; especially with fat white-letter radials wrapped around them. Tribute cars like this can be a ton of funand#44; and this one definitely has the hardware to make it more than just a cosmetic clone. Call today! |
