The Ford Mustang Boss 302 is considered an icon among high-performance Mustangs. In fact, it's regarded as the best among non-Shelby Mustangs. This is why such a 50-year old classic pony remains a highly sought after drive. Now, here's an incredible 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Fastback selling at a Mecum Auction.
Still In Its Original Exterior
Similar to another 1970 Ford Mustang on Mecum we covered recently, this particular Mustang Boss 302 remains unrestored after five decades, and so far, it has only been given just 17,400 miles of road massage. It found its first owner when it was sold new at Cargill Motors in Hurricane, West Virginia. Now, this Mustang Boss 302 is part of Ben and Karen’s Collection.
Interestingly, this Mustang Boss 302 has been wearing its original finish – Calypso Coral paint – and still features all the factory markings. It recently underwent a professional detail to ensure that its classic aesthetics could still appease the eyes. It's a sporty classic car with a shaker hood, rear sport slats, and rear spoiler.
1971 Engine Replacement
This 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 doesn't don its original engine under the hood since it was replaced by a service replacement block in 1971. Nonetheless, the sale will still include the original 1970. Along with the professional detail, this Mustang Boss 302 was also recently serviced and tuned up.
Power from the engine is still sent to the wheels via the Fastback's original four-speed transmission and a rare original V-code 3.91 Traction-Lok differential. Featuring factory power steering and power brakes, this Ford Mustang Boss 302 rides on new Magnum 500 five-spoke rims shod with Coker F60-15 Polyglas rubbers.
Black Clarion-Knit Cabin
Inside, this Ford Mustang Boss 302 still treats occupants with the original black clarion-knit standard interior with bucket seats. The cabin boasts a Hurst T-handle shifter and an optional pushbutton AM radio. Plus, this Fastback is listed in the Boss 302 registry and comes with the original window sticker and engine tag.
