Ford Mustang Boss 302 and taking it for a spin



The Boss 302 Mustang was a Ford Mustang high performance variant produced in 1969 and 1970. It was produced for the Trans Am racing series, while the Mustang Boss 429 which was produced the same years was built around a larger engine. Ford has recently revived the Boss 302 for the 2012 model year.

about the enjoy-ment one gets from actually driving a classic Ford. Like many of you, my '66 Mustang coupe is just a simple and clean restoration with a few minor modifications and it has seen its fair share of road trips, cruises, car shows, and highway congestion. The same can't always be said for the more desirable and rarer breed of Mustangs, such as unrestored Cobra Jets, Shelbys, Boss cars, and the like. I can't say I blame these owners too much. Some of these cars are worth six times what my little coupe is worth and having that six-figure ride safely ensconced in an enclosed car trailer certainly must put the owner's mind at ease (and the owner's insurance company as well!). So it is a distinct pleasure when we get to meet someone like Jim Bridgett, who has no qualms about hopping into his '70 Boss 302 and taking it for a spin. Matter of fact, he stretches his Boss' legs at least once a week he tells us.
