This week, we are featuring a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 with an unbelievable 49,000 original miles.
The Boss 302 Mustang was designed by Larry Shinoda, a former GM employee. He placed the unique reflective strips on the car, and eliminated the fake scoops found on the 1969 Mustang model. The distinctive styling included the rear window shades, blackout hood, and was one of the first production cars with a front spoiler and rear deck wing, today often fitted to upscale and some compact family sedans.
The 1970 model introduced the side "hockey" stripes. The car came with standard disk brakes on the front, larger sway bars, heavier duty spindles, reinforced shock towers, a four speed transmission (all that was offered), and most importantly, the solid-lifter Boss 302 engine with its free-breathing Cleveland style heads, which had valves larger than most motors over a third larger in displacement. The Boss 302 is considered by many to be one of the most collectible muscle cars produced.
Stay tuned to see how this fine automobile does when the auction closes Sunday evening, April 25th.
