1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Description

When your goal is to own a world-class muscle car, there can't be any asterisks on the spec sheet. That's why the restorer of this striking Ford started his build with an all original, G-code Boss 302. A performer from day one, this coveted Mustang is the beneficiary of a high dollar rebuild that transformed it from an immaculate survivor into a fully detailed show stopper. Today, the car sits as an attention-grabbing pavement pounder that's ready to hit the road and dominate the show field!

Wearing a glossy coat of clean, Wimbledon White paint, this pony's current condition is the product of a professional, rotisserie restoration that was completed in late 1993. The car's straight, original sheetmetal was stripped, sanded and bathed in a modern two-stage pigment. And that smooth finish was, after being buffed to a mirror-like shine, trimmed in correct Boss 302 war paint.

Motivation is provided by an original Ford small block that, thanks to a recent rebuild, makes killer horsepower. That raucous mill was covered in traditional blue skin and centered between crisp, Satin Black fenders. And everything, from the car's aluminum valve covers to its high capacity oil pan, looks good and functions great.

Behind that pan, an original, close-ratio 4-speed twists power through a tough, 9-inch rear end to big 4.10 gears. That first class drivetrain hangs in a fully restored suspension, which benefits from factory power steering and Baer disc brakes. And at the corners of the car, American Racing Torq Thrusts spin sticky Firestone Firehawks around shiny black spokes and chrome racing lugs.

Open this coupe's doors and you'll find nostalgic Detroit styling that's wrapped in traditional Blue vinyl. Restored bench and bucket seats sport freshly pleated covers that, judging by their appearance, enjoyed very little road time. The vintage aura continues onto the dashboard, which offers a pleasant layout of analog gauges. And in front of the driver, a speed-drilled steering wheel spins a beefy black rim around a classy pony insignia.

It's hard to imagine the automotive world without Ford's Mustang. For almost 50 years, America's original pony car has been admired by racers and purists alike. With its strong drivetrain, capable chassis and nearly universal appeal, this razor-sharp Boss is an excellent mix of old school fun and show-stopping looks. We'd like to thank the car's happy new owner for choosing RK Motors Charlotte for all his octane-fueled needs. Here's to many trophies, many years and many more miles behind the wheel of classic American muscle!
