The 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 is a legend born from the heat of competition. Designed specifically to homologate Ford’s entry into the SCCA Trans-Am racing series, the Boss 302 combined aggressive styling with a purpose-built high-performance powertrain. With just two years of production (1969–1970), the Boss 302 remains one of the most sought-after Mustangs for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

At its heart lies the 302 cubic-inch V8, a high-revving small-block designed by marrying Ford’s 302 Windsor block with Cleveland cylinder heads. This unique combination delivered 290 horsepower (conservatively rated), lightning throttle response, and a 6,000+ RPM redline that made it a true track contender. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, the Boss 302 offered drivers an authentic, hands-on muscle car experience.

The 1970 model year introduced subtle styling refinements, including a redesigned grille, horizontal taillights, and revised striping, all while retaining the menacing stance that set the Boss apart. Distinctive graphics, front and rear spoilers, optional Shaker hood scoop, and Magnum 500 wheels gave it instant recognition as a factory street fighter.

With only 37,169 miles, this example is a remarkably well-preserved piece of Mustang history. The low mileage highlights its rarity and desirability, particularly given how many Boss 302s were used hard on track or modified beyond recognition.

As a street-legal race car, the Boss 302 embodies the raw, competitive spirit of the muscle car era. Its blend of racing pedigree, iconic looks, and exhilarating performance continues to captivate enthusiasts, cementing its place among the most collectible Mustangs ever built.
