The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302, a muscle car we featured last month, is still available for purchase. Despite our initial assumption that it would have found a new owner by now, this high-performance pony car remains on the market with a slightly reduced price tag.
This particular Boss 302 boasts a modified 5.0-liter V8 engine, originally found in the Mustang GT of its era. When it rolled off the assembly line, it delivered an impressive 444 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque.
Compared to the standard Mustang GT, the Boss 302 offered a significant power advantage, with 32 more horsepower and 10 additional pound-feet of torque. Power was channeled to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, and a limited-slip differential with an optional Torsen unit further enhanced traction.
Ford also refined the chassis, added Brembo brakes, 19-inch wheels, and an aerodynamic package to complete the 2012 model year. This 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302, a rare and desirable classic, is a testament to American muscle car heritage. Finished in a striking orange hue with contrasting white stripes and luxurious black suede and leather interior, this California-born beauty has only clocked 12,797 miles.
Its near pristine condition and low mileage make it a compelling proposition for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Originally listed at $45,900, the price has been modestly reduced to $44,900. While this may seem steep, it’s important to consider the car’s rarity and excellent condition.
In comparison, the new 2025 Ford Mustang GT, while a capable modern muscle car, lacks the historical significance and exclusivity of the Boss 302. The latter offers a unique blend of performance, style, and collectability that is difficult to replicate. For those seeking a truly special automotive experience, this 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 is worth serious consideration.
