IN 1969, FORD BROUGHT THEIR ROAD RACING PROGRAM IN HOUSE BY CREATING THE BOSS 302 WITH STYLING BY LARRY SHINODA, SUSPENSION BY SPECIALTY BUILDER KAR KRAFT & ENGINE BY FORD USING THE 5.0 LITER BLOCK WITH THE NEW 351 CLEVELAND HEADS.

THE BOSS 302 WAS ORIGINALLY TO BE CALLED THE TRANS AM UNTIL FORD FOUND OUT THAT GM HAD ALREADY LICENSED THE TA NAME FROM THE SCCA. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PARADOX IF WE WERE NOW CALLING MUSTANG'S, TRANS AM's?

RATED AT 290HP, THE BOSS 302 WAS ACTUALLY PUTTING OUT CLOSER TO 350HP WITH RACE VERSIONS MAKING 450 HORSE'S AT OVER 8000 RPM's. 1970 WAS THE YEAR BEFORE FORD'S DECADE OF "TOTAL PERFORMANCE" DREW TO A CLOSE WHICH NOW MAKES THESE RACE-BRED VINTAGE MUSTANGS ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTIBLE MUSCLE CARS OF ALL TIME.

 THIS PARTICULAR 1970 BOSS 302 REPRESENTS AN EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE ONE OF THESE TREASURED CLASSICS. INCREDIBLY, IT IS A DOCUMENTED 1 0F 1 BOSS 302 AUTHENTICATED BY MARTI AUTO WORKS.

FURTHER, THERE IS NO SHAKER BECAUSE SHAKERS ONLY FIT SINGLE FOUR BARREL CARBURETORS.
THIS BOSS FEATURES THE ORIGINAL TWIN HOLLEY SET-UP EXCLUSIVE TO SHELBY AMERICAN & FORD DEALERSHIPS.

FEATURED IN THE MARCH 1995 ISSUE OF MUSCLE CAR REVIEW, AUTOGRAPHED BY LARRY SHINODA.
INCLUDES ORIGINAL FACTORY INVOICE, PARTIAL OWNERSHIP HISTORY & A PLETHORA OF RECEIPTS.



 

FUNCTIONAL ORIGINAL GAUGES, EVEN THE CLOCK.
OPTIONED WITH CENTER CONSOLE, NOW MIA.















 11,708 MILES SHOWING ON WORKING ODOMETER. HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR LAST FOUR YEARS. MULTIPLE FIRST PLACE SHOW WINNER 1994-1995. RESTORED EARLY NINETIES. BODY IS LASER STRAIGHT AND IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. APPEARS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL SHEET METAL, REALLY INCREDIBLE. ONCE ZIEBART'D. WHILE PURPORTED TO BE THE ORIGINAL PAINT BY A PREVIOUS OWNER TO THE PRESENT OWNER THERE IS EVIDENCE THERE WAS A RE-PAINT MANY, MANY YEARS AGO WITH A CLEAR COAT ON TOP OF THAT. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RUST OR BONDO. AGAIN, BODY PANELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION - TOP & BOTTOM. CHROME, TRIM AND GLASS - ALL IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL TIRES IN STORAGE. SORRY, NO EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. LOWER BALL JOINTS STILL RIVETED BUT UPPERS REPLACED. INTERIOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. HOWEVER, PANEL MISSING ON REAR DRIVER SEAT. NUMBERS-MATCHING ENGINE RUNS GREAT BUT COULD USE VALVE ADJUSTMENT. APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN APART. DATE CODED SPARK PLUG WIRES. CORRECT CARBURETORS & INTAKE. ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY & APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SERVICED. THOUSANDS IN RECEIPTS FOR SMALL ITEMS OVER THE YEARS. AREAS KNOWN TO DETERIORATE ARE IN AN INCREDIBLY PRESERVED CONDITION. LITTLE ROOM, IF ANY, FOR DISAPPOINTMENT.

THE FACT IS, IT WOULDN'T MATTER IF IT HAD 100 COATS OF PAINT & 100,000 MILES. IT IS A DOCUMENTED 1 OF 1 1970 BOSS 302 WITH A VERY RARE 2X4 INTAKE SYSTEM IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. IT WOULD TAKE VERY LITTLE TO BRING THIS CAR BACK TO AN AUTHENTIC SHOWROOM CONDITION WHERE IT'S HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE COULD FOREVER BE PRESERVED. THAT MAKES IT AN OUTSTANDING INVESTMENT FOR THE DISCERNING COLLECTOR OR AUTOMOTIVE HOBBYIST.
