If you’re a collector of classic muscle cars, particularly the iconic Ford Mustang, a numbers-matching 1970 Boss 302 might be the perfect addition to your collection. This Grabber Blue example recently failed to sell at auction, presenting a unique opportunity for discerning buyers.
The Boss 302 is renowned for its performance, having been designed for Trans-Am racing. Its powerful 302 ci V8 engine and aggressive styling make it a highly sought-after collectible. With only 7,000 units produced in 1970, the Boss 302 remains a relatively rare and desirable car.
This particular example boasts 55,000 miles and features classic Boss 302 elements like the shaker hood scoop, black side stripes, spoilers, and rear window louvers. While not in mint condition, it offers a solid foundation for restoration or continued enjoyment.
With its aftermarket traction bars and minor cosmetic imperfections, this Boss 302 presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a well preserved classic. The recent auction failure indicates that the owner may be open to negotiation, making it a potentially attractive purchase for serious collectors.
The interior of the car features black vinyl front bucket seats and a rear bench, a Sanyo cassette stereo, aftermarket rear speakers, a Hurst shifter, a heater, retractable front lap belts, and a two-spoke steering wheel with an aftermarket wrap.
Under the hood, a 302 ci V8 engine, reportedly rebuilt in the 1970s, sits mated to a four speed manual transmission. The engine features an aluminum intake manifold, a four barrel carburetor, and a shaker scoop, and is estimated to produce 290 horsepower, which is sent directly to the rear wheels.
