The standard wheel size was still 15 x 7, but a trim ring/hubcap arrangement was standard, instead of the Magnum 500s. Chrome Magnum 500s were still an option, but only for the Boss 302, as was the shaker hood scoop. New for the Boss 302 was a redesigned dual exhaust system, Competition suspension, and the standard Hurst shifter. Smaller intake valves could also be found, along with aluminum valve covers which replaced the chrome ones from the previous year. A gloss black hood scoop outlined the '70 Boss 429, along with chrome Magnum 500s using a Boss 302 center cap. Available colors were Grabber Blue, Grabber Orange, Grabber Green, Calypso Coral, Red and Pastel Blue. Only black or white was available as the interior color. For 1970, 499 Boss 429s were produced, as the KK numbers ranged from KK2060 to KK2558. The consecutive unit number on the Boss 302 could be found on the engine block, and the Boss 429s had additional VIN numbers on the transmission, engine block and inner fenders. First Generation (1969-1970) The Camaro/Mustang rivalry had begun in 1967 with the introduction of the Chevrolet Camaro by General Motors. The Camaro was the largest threat to the lead Ford had in the "pony car" field, a market segment largely created by Ford with the introduction of the Mustang in mid-year 1964. The performance of the Mustang with 289 and 390 engines was not up to the Camaro, with its small block and big block V8. In an effort to improve the Mustang's image, Ford made optional the 428 Cobra Jet V8 in mid-year 1968, and in 1969, the Ford Boss 302 engine. The 302 was a composite engine using the "tunnel port" Windsor block and large Cleveland heads.[1] This optional engine was available for the express purpose of meeting the homologation guidelines to compete in the Trans-Am series.[2] The Boss 302 Mustang was designed by Larry Shinoda, a former GM employee. The car featured reflective "c-stripe" and the fake rear fender scoops of the regular 1969 Mustangs was eliminated. Optional were black horizontal rear window shades and a blackout hood. It was one of the first production models with a front spoiler and rear deck wing. The name "Boss" came about when Shinoda was asked what project he was working on, he answered "the boss's car" because the project was a secret.[3] Also Shinoda had called it the "Boss" as an homage to the new President of Ford Semon "Bunkie" Knudson who had brought Shinoda over from GM when Knudson had left. Changes for the 1970 model year included side "hockey" stripes which started along the top of the hood, along with the 1970 grille which replaced the 4 headlights with two vents in the outside position while retaining dual headlights within the grille opening. The dual exhaust system was redesigned, along with the competition suspension and a standard Hurst shifter. The intake valves were smaller, and aluminum valve covers replaced the chrome.[4] With a suggested price of offered for $3,720, a total of 7,013 were sold. Standard were disc brakes on the front, larger sway bars, heavier duty spindles, reinforced shock towers, a four speed manual transmission, and the solid-lifter Boss 302 V8 engine with its free-breathing Cleveland style heads, which had valves larger than most motors over a third larger in displacement.[1] This "G Code" engine was rated at 290 hp (216 kW).[citation needed] The 1970 car could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.9 seconds. The quarter mile (~400 m) took 14.6 seconds at 98 mph (158 km/h).[4] Trans-Am racing 1970 Mustang Boss 302 race car The SCCA Trans-Am series was popular in the late 1960s. A version of "stock-car" racing, the five-liter class saw Detroit build some impressive handling sedans to compete. The Boss 302 program was part of an effort by the Ford Motor Company to win the coveted SCCA Trans-Am Championship in 1969 and 1970. Penske Camaros had triumphed in 1968 and 1969. Team Penske switched to AMC Javelin the following year so the Boss 302's direct competition in the 1970 series were the AAR Cudas, the Pontiac Firebird, the Team Chaparral Camaros, and the Penske AMC Javelins. The Ford entry for 1969 and 1970 was the Boss 302 Mustang. The factory effort was headed up by Bud Moore, who fielded two cars in the 1970 season, and won the championship that year. The Bud Moore Mustangs edged out Team Penske's Javelins, and lead Penske driver Mark Donohue lost out to Bud Moore driver Parnelli Jones. Then, in 1971 AMC came out with a redesigned Javelin and returned to the track with ex-Mustang driver, George Follmer and Mark Donohue. With Mark Donohue behind the wheel of the AMC Javelin, the Mustang and the others were beat in 1971, and again with George Follmer driving the Javelin in 1972.[5][6] Although Ford's Drag Pack option with a special oil cooler was never formally offered on the Boss 302, it was often included with the 4.30:1 rear axle ratio. This coveted option is recognizable when the hood is opened to reveal Ford's vertically mounted oil cooler in front of the radiator.[7] Collectibility The Boss 302 is reproduced as a model and toy, with diecast models including Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Ertl's "American Muscle". It is recognizable by the "hockey" side stripe, rear louvers and chin spoiler. The 1970 is available, but there are also some 4-headlight 1969 models as well. Many "Boss clones" have been created out of regular fastback cars due to the expense of the original automobiles. In 2007, a pair of restored 1969 Boss Mustangs sold for $530,000.[8] **All information above provided by Wikipedia.

NOTE: If you need the vehicle shipped: There are many shipping companies out there. I have several to recommend, however, it is ultimately the buyer's responsibility for shipping due diligence and procurement. Please feel free to contact me through eBay with any questions. Thanks for L@@king! PLEASE NOTE: This car has the 3.91 Rear-End. The original owners wanted the 3.91 but at the time the only car in stock (this one) had the 3.50 Rear LOC Diff, the dealer installed the 3.91 for the original owners. We do not have the original transmission. Also, the car is virtually rust-free from the front to back and underneath, EXCEPT for a spot on the rear decklid (underneath where the spoiler was installed, this is pretty typical for this model unfortunately). We did not opt to repair because we felt it was not warranted and we did not want to alter the originality of the car. We have priced the car taking all the above mentioned into account.
