First we will
not bore you with giving you the history of the legendary Boss 302. There are plenty of
places you can find that information.
We will do everything possible to give
you the history of
this car.
Here are the present owner's words on this car:
With regret I'm
selling my 1970 Boss 302 Mustang 0F02G113433. It has just over 43,000 original
miles on the car. I have an elite marti report showing it is a 1 of 1. I'm the third
owner of the car. I've owned the car since 1992.
I'm selling
due to life changes and I hardly ever drive the car. When I got the car it had
39,000 miles and now 43,000 miles.
I'd rather
it go to someone on the forum that will take care of her and not to an auction.
It has a
service replacement block D1ZE 6015 BA (3J28 12). When I got the car I rebuilt
the motor and it had Ford pistons in it so I believe Ford replaced the block. Can
I prove it no. It now has TRW pistons. It had the original exhaust when I got
it but was blown out so much I had to replace it. It now has a date coded Scott
Fuller exhaust system.
I kept
everything original as possible. The engine has everything from the factory.
The only change I made was roller rockers which can be easily changed to stock.
I changed
the open differential to a limited slip.
Front
suspension was rebuilt and original leaf springs in the rear were rebuilt.
The body panels are all original. The car has
had one repaint by me and the body has no rust whatsoever. The car has never
been apart. All weather stripping was replaced.
Interior is
original except for the carpet and upholstery. I re-dyed the dash pad. Only
deviation from stock are LED light bulbs for the dash.
The radiator
in it was not original but was recently replaced with a correct
date coded radiator by All Classic Motors LTD at $1,200. A lot I know but I've never have
been worried about the price. I give the Boss anything it needs.
May 2020: I
replaced the axle sleeves, axle seals, axle bearings, carrier gasket, and fresh
fluid.
October 2020:
I replaced the rear main seal which had a very small leak, oil pan gasket, front
timing cover gasket, new clutch and pressure plate, throw-out bearing, pilot
bushing (with a roller type), resurfaced the flywheel, changed speedometer
cable, and temp sending unit, set valves, checked points and timing, oil change
with Brad Penn. On the Transmission I replaced the input and output gaskets, tail-shaft bushing and
seal, and fresh trans fluid.
Those are
the words from the current owner. It is not a numbers matching car but most Boss
302s are not. Piston skirts were a problem with the original engines and many
Boss 302s got replacement factory service engines back in the 70s. The car has the original
panels and a lot of hard to find parts like the original emissions system and factory rev limiter. When I
talked to the current owner I could tell this car got whatever it wanted. It
is an incredible example of a 1970 Boss 302. If other pictures are needed or if you want more information feel free to call Paul Johnson at (540) 849-8792 and ask any questions.
