1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302

By the late 1960s, Ford had seemingly abandoned ambition toward road track dominance, or so many thought.  Consumers often voiced discontent toward the manufacturer's growing efforts toward appeasing those who desired outright straight-line performance.  However, the vast majority of such critics were oblivious to the fact that Ford was already in the midst of creating their next street-dominating Mustang.  With the right team assembled, the development of the newest road-track-derived Mustang got underway.  The goal was simple; build a Mustang which was capable of dominating the Trans-Am racing circuit in its respective class, and toppling the Z/28 Camaro in the process.  From these efforts, the 1969 Mustang Boss 302 was born.

For consignment, a true “G” code 1969 Boss 302 Mustang that was completely rebuilt in 2019-2020.  Bent Metal Customs of Lansdale, PA did the task and did it very well.  It now has a Ford Racing 5.0 liter Coyote crate engine, a T-56 transmission, front and rear Total Control Suspension and 4 wheel Wilwood disc brakes.  Snazzy paint and an Elite Marti Report and you cannot go wrong with this muscular beauty.

Exterior
The body was stripped down completely, soda blasted, primed and sanded 3 times the bathed in factory Bright Yellow.  It sports the correct Boss 302 stripes in black.  A satin black hood with Bright Yellow edging is seen above the menacing exaggerated design for the grille.  Deep inset headlights and some extra lights just inside the central portion of the grille are noted along with a shiny chrome molded top the grille bumper below.  Gone is the hockey stick cove of yore and now the stripes give that illusion on the sides, only in reverse.  For the fastback sloped rear we see black louvers making their way down to the rear deck where a black spoiler resides.  A near vertical rear with the essential trio of vertical tail lights are on either corner of the black back to the car.  Large 3-inch chromed tail pipes peek out from either side on the bottom just below another shiny bumper just prior to the rear roll pan.  16-inch Vintage Wheel Works with multi-spoke cast wheels are wrapped with Cooper rubber.  A screaming yellow Zonker if you will!

Interior
In contrast to the yellow excitement that is outside, the interior of the car presents in all black.  As we swing the doors we glide past sleek padded and stitched door panels wrapped with nearly perfect black vinyl.  Inside I can perch myself on high back wider tuck and roll insert and smooth bolstered seats. The rear seat matches the buckets and also folds down.  A snazzy center console races between the seats and has a large storage area/armrest and houses the yellow ball topped shifter.  As we get to the dash it has the factory design of the deep set instruments however they have been modernized to digital.  The dash has also been replaced to accommodate AC vents which are filled with cold air via a Vintage Air and heating system.  Looking stock, save for a roll bar and Shelby style seat belts, this modernized interior is snazzy.  Power windows have also been installed and are actuated by the old crank handles!  Cool!  Black carpeting floods the floors and Boss 302 stitched floor coverings are in.  Lovely.

Drivetrain
Unpinning the hood we lift it to reveal a very modern and very stout 5.0 L Coyote V8 Ford Racing engine filling the bay.  It is fed by EFI and a 6-speed manual T56 transmission is on the back.  The rear axle weighs in at 9 inches and is a 3.91 TracLoc version.  Headers and stainless steel mufflers are on for the exhale.  This car is not for the faint of heart.

Undercarriage
With a reinforced unibody to handle the extra stress the Coyote power plant puts into the car,  we see all rust free steel looking like it just rolled out of the showroom.  Total Control is installed on the suspension with independent coil springs in the front and leaf springs in the rear and Wilwood disc brakes are on all 4 corners.  Just fab for this reinforced undercarriage.

Drive-Ability
I slipped in and it was immediately off to the races.  The mill fired to life with mighty roar, and the car is a screamer.  Exhilarating is the word that sums up this fully functioning car right out of 1969.

For those who find themselves demanding agility and street pounding performance in the late 1960s, the Boss 302 delivered in earnest. The infamous 302 was well adept at powering through curves and hammering down straightaways, providing a white-knuckle driving experience for all that sat behind the wheel.  Today, the 1969 Boss 302 remains a hot commodity with collectors and with horsepower lover drawing extras, it is a really wonderful classic and total performer.  Hurry in, it will leave here as fast as it drives!
