The owner of this 1970 Mustang Boss 302 claims that it is a genuine 1-of-1 vehicle, and when you work through its combination of color, trim, specifications, and optional extras, this claim appears to be true. It comes with a collection of documentation that verifies the claims and has only clocked about 800 miles since it underwent a complete restoration. However, the time has come for it to head to a lucky new owner, so the Boss has been listed for sale here on eBay. It is located in Wynantskill, New York, and while the bidding has reached $56,100, I’m not surprised that the reserve hasn’t been met.

There’s no arguing that the Mustang presents beautifully in its original shade of Medium Blue Metallic. The paint holds a dazzling shine, and due to the recent work, it appears to be flawless. The panels are laser straight, and there is no evidence of rust problems. The vehicle’s underside is said to be just as nice, with the owner applying a coat of LizardSkin to ensure ongoing rust protection. The car features all of the distinctive features that make a Boss 302 so recognizable. These include the front and rear spoilers, along with the side stripes. The original owner ordered this Ford with Sport Slats on the back window, along with Magnum 500 wheels and a shaker hood. These items remain intact and in good condition, while the same is true of the trim, chrome, and tinted glass.

Apart from its overall condition, one of this classic’s great strengths is that it remains full numbers-matching. The Boss 302 is a sweet little V8 that pumps out 290hp. All of this pony’s, er, ponies, find their way through a 4-speed manual transmission to a 3.91 Traction-Lok rear end. While the ¼-mile ET of 15 seconds might not sound that impressive when compared to other offerings within the Mustang range, it was the vehicle’s ability to hit 133mph that made it special. It isn’t clear what mechanical refurbishment was performed during the restoration, but the owner states that he has recently had the original carburetor rebuilt. As a result, the Boss is said to drive as nicely today as it did when it was new. When you look at the overall spotless presentation of the engine bay, that’s a claim that is easy to believe.

I’ve said in the past that I feel that it was a brave person who ordered a classic like this Mustang with White vinyl trim. It looks stunning when it’s new, but it’s common for time to be pretty cruel. It can be prone to wear, stains, developing a dirty appearance, or becoming quite yellowed as UV rays do their worst. The buyer won’t need to worry about those problems, because this one is in as-new condition. There are no flaws or issues to note with the upholstery, while the dash and carpet are just as impressive. It is also quite nicely equipped. The original owner ordered the Boss with a Sport Deck rear seat, rim-blow wheel, a clock, and an AM/FM radio/8-track player. These features remain intact, and no one has been cruel enough to add any aftermarket items like extra gauges. There’s no doubt that this interior would receive favorable comments at any show or a Cars & Coffee.

Claiming that a classic car is unique is one thing, but holding documentary proof is another thing altogether. That is what is on offer with this 1970 Mustang Boss 302. It comes with its original Window Sticker, Build Sheet and a Deluxe Marti Report that should settle any potential arguments. It presents beautifully and would seem to need nothing but a new owner who will appreciate it. Life doesn’t often give us second chances, but sometimes there are exceptions. If you missed the opportunity to buy one of these when they were new, now could be the time for you to right that wrong. It’s something to think about.
