Of course, it is also fitted with a 302 V8 backed by a four speed manual transmission. Rear window Sport Slats and Magnum 500 wheels with proper Goodyear Polyglas raised white letter bias ply tires round out the equipment list.

Surely the Mustang Boss 302 sums up the Ford advertising slogan “Total Performance” better than any other vehicle they offered. The car was a winner on the street as proven by sales figures and it was a winner at the track as proven by race results. In fact, this Boss 302 ( a model created to qualify the engine and body style for Trans Am competition) has been signed by both Parnelli Jones and George Folmer, the drivers who scored the Manufacturers Championship for Ford in the 1970 Trans Am series.
Finished in Bright Yellow, it is reported that this Mustang was given a full rotisserie restoration In California. Documented with a Marti Report that show it to be a factory Shaker hood car with rear deck spoiler, AM radio and 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle. Of course, it is also fitted with a 302 cubic inch Ford V8 backed by a close ratio Toploader four speed manual transmission. Rear window Sport Slats, power brakes and Magnum 500 wheels with proper Goodyear Polyglas raised white letter bias ply tires round out the equipment list.
Driving this Mustang is a pure joy and a great reminder of why Ford set sales records with them. Settling into the high back bucket seats and turning the key, one is greeted by the powerful sound of the Ford smallblock roaring to life. Looking over the long hood, the Shaker scoop vibrates with the engine and throttle response is crisp. Placing the rugged four speed into first gear and letting out the clutch, one is happy to note how eager the car feels to be moving. The T-handle Hurst shifter moves smartly through the gears as the car accelerates to highway speed with capable ease. Corners are taken with the same level of authority as when the car was new and the power disc/drum brakes bring the sporty ponycar to a ready stop.
The Boss 302 Mustangs continue to rise in value and this is one of the best. It is a very special opportunity indeed.
