The Perfect Late-First Gen Mustang
When it comes to the classic Mustangs of the late first-generation era, the Boss 302 specification stands out as an epitome of perfection. It effortlessly exudes an aggressive yet clean look that captivates enthusiasts without the need for extravagant add-ons.
A Rarity on Wheels
Unlike its counterparts like the Mach 1 or the Boss 429, the standard Boss 302 keeps things understated. No flashy hood scoops or rear fender ducts here. This is the choice for those who prefer a sleek and clean appearance in their 1969 Mustang.
A Trans Am Icon
The Boss 302 was meticulously crafted to meet Trans Am racing regulations, bearing its iconic hockey-stick stripes. With only 1,628 units produced for the 1969 model year, this American classic is a rare find, soon to find a new home through auction.
Classic Styling
Adorning a Bright Yellow exterior, this Boss 302 features a front spoiler, signature side stripes, dual side mirrors, a rear spoiler, rear window louvers, dual exhaust outlets, and 15” Magnum 500-style wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
Performance Meets Convenience
This classic Mustang boasts power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes, enhancing its driving experience. Inside, you’ll discover black vinyl front bucket seats, a cassette stereo, a floor-mounted center console, a Hurst shifter, and crucially, a heater. However, the horn and dashboard-mounted clock may require attention.
Power and Precision
Under the hood lies a remarkable surprise – a replacement 302 ci V8 engine equipped with performance enhancements. This includes a Holley CFM 650 carburetor, an MSD distributor and ignition coil, Ford Racing spark plug wires, and aftermarket exhaust headers. With power likely exceeding 290 hp, it transfers to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox with a Traction-Lok differential, ensuring exceptional traction.
