LEVEL 2 HARDTOP - LEVEL 1 CONVERTIBLE

BACK IN 1964, FORD'S THEN GENERAL MANAGER, LEE IACOCCA, ENVISIONED A SMALL SPORTS CAR
TO REPLACE THE FULL SIZED MUSCLE CARS OF THE ERA. ORIGINALLY NAMED AFTER THE P-51
MUSTANG FIGHTER PLANE, THE FORD MUSTANG WAS A SUCCESS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
FIVE YEARS LATER, NOTED AUTOMOBILE DESIGNER, LARRY SHINODA, INTRODUCED THE ORIGINAL
BOSS 302 AND BOSS 429 MUSTANGS. WINNING BOTH NHRA DRAG RACING EVENTS AND SCCA TRANS-AM CHAMPIONSHIPS, THE BOSS MUSTANGS ENDEARED THEMSELVES TO BOTH RACERS & CAR ENTHUSIASTS ALIKE.



25 YEARS LATER (1994), THE BOSS PACKAGE WAS BACK. THE ORIGINAL LEGEND HIMSELF,
LARRY SHINODA, ONCE AGAIN PUT HIS MARK ON A NEW STABLE OF MUSCLE
MUSTANGS. HE KNEW HE COULD TAKE A GREAT CAR AND MAKE IT BETTER WITH
DISTINGUISHED GRAPHICS, AERODYNAMIC ENHANCEMENTS & GROUND EFFECTS.
IN THE SPIRIT OF "BOSS BY SHINODA", TEAM SHINODA WAS FORMED TO
CONTINUE THE LEGACYOF LARRY SHINODA AND THE BOSS MUSTANG.
