1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 In 1970, 7,013 Boss Mustang 302's were built, and Motor Trend magazine raved about it after testing. The Boss 302 is an exceptionally road worthy piece of production line car, again comparing almost straight across with the Z/28. It's definitely the best handling car Ford has ever built, and that alone makes this car worthwhile. Ford has done their best possible job in coming up with a perfectly suited muscle car that fits street and racing conditions without great amounts of change being required for the transition. And the job is a good one. For consignment, a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 with 33,046 miles claimed, but unverifiable due to a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation error. This one presents with the numbers matching 302 and its original window sticker showing it was sold in Oklahoma for a mere $3,655. Times have changed for this legend. Exterior With its original sheet metal, this example received a rotisserie restoration in 2000 by our consignor, the car's third owner. It presents in two stage Bright Yellow with of course, the requisite black stripes that combine matte and gloss finishes along with the epic call out on the fender hockey stick. The one year only fascia bookends the grille and single headlights with dual openings that resemble aggressive intake ducts, all accompanied by the front air dam, rocket shaped rise to the hood, and over the top shaker scoop. But we channel Ron Popeil to say, wait, there's more! A hood mounted tachometer, rear window louvers, and a rear wing, and all are in fantastic condition. 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels are clean and the perfect match, wrapped in 215/65R15s. Imperfections are minimal with a bubble on the driver's door, fading of one section of side stripes, small bubbles in the rear quarter panel, and a blemish and chip near the right marker. Interior The inside is awash in black vinyl and it's all in great shape, from the patterned door panels to the front bucket seats all the way to the rear 2+2 in grain vinyl. Up front, it's simply by today's standards and analog goodness put four circle gauges ahead of a rather pedestrian steering wheel, with of course, full view of that arching tachometer on the hood. A clock in the cove in front of the passenger caps the black coverage while the center stack includes an AM radio and 8-track player with Kenny Rogers' The Gambler inserted. Bluetooth is now tucked in the glovebox and a Hurst shifter rises from the tunnel, covered perfectly with black looped carpet under a clean and tight headliner above. The trunk includes a fitted mat and space saver spare with jack intact.  Drivetrain Looking fresh and clean is the rebuilt, numbers matching 302ci Boss V8, rated at 290 horsepower and mated to a date correct Toploader 4-speed manual close ratio transmission routing the herd of horses to the Ford 9 in back with 3.50 gearing.  Undercarriage Looking good 26 years after the restoration, the underside includes grease pencil marks for authenticity along with a dual exhaust system that flows through stock style mufflers before exiting unceremoniously before the rear valance. Power disc brakes are up front with power drums in back and suspension includes coil springs in front and leaf springs in the rear. Drive-Ability We should be taking a red carpet into this yellow car, but the concrete of our receiving area will have to do. This is a spectacularly clean example and the 302 comes to life as if we've been transported to 1970, but since we're on 31 year-old tires, we'll baby this bit of muscle around the test loop to test functionality. We find the heater blower not working and the rear turn signals not working when the lights are on. Gotta love gremlins! Meanwhile, everything else on board operates exactly how it should and we're honored to bring this one to the showroom floor. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we c
