I am selling my 1970 Boss 302. It is a real G code Boss 302. It has been for sale several times by different
dealers. I was too busy to sell it my self and had two separate dealers take it on consignment. They all assured me
they could sell it and then proceeded to price it too high (one had it at $86k and the 2nd had it at $77k). I told
them the price was too high but they didn't believe me. It is appraised at $59k. The reason for the lower price on
this beautifully restored Boss is that it does not have the numbers matching engine. It is a correct year Boss 302
engine but not the numbers matching that it came with. The transmission & rear end are the correct numbers matching
items.
A little history on my Boss. I have owned this for four years. It was a "barn find" out of Washington State. The
3rd owner (I am the 4th owner) had the engine rebuilt. Less than a month after the engine was completed, he passed
away. His widow parked the car in their garage and left it there for 7 years. We believe the block was swapped with
the current block when it was rebuilt. Unfortunately the wife does not know and the shop that did the rebuild is
not sure. The engine runs very strong and it is a joy to drive. It has been driven aprx 1, 500 miles since rebuilt.
When I received the car the wife, it was rough and typical shape for a car that has sat for 7 years. The interior
was in need of restoration, the clutch needed replacement and the repaint by a previous owner was not correct and
flaking off. We took it down to bare metal and repainted it to the high gloss it now has. All original decals were
replaced and the bumpers & trim was all repaired and re-chromed.
The distributor was updated to electronic ignition. Original factory power steering was added. A non-functioning
rev-limiter was installed. The shaker hood was added by a previous owner. The original radio was updated to a new
radio that has the look of an older radio but has newer features including Ipod input.
It is an amazing car that is what I would call a higher end driver, that will provide years of fun for the new
owner. Every time I drive it, it draws a crowd. It has been entered into 3 car shows and won 4 trophies, including
the San Diego Mustangs by the Bay show where there was several hundred Mustangs entered.
It is time for me to move on
