I bought a brand new Boss 302 in 1970 with full trim. Drove the car for 500 miles and had it Dino tuned at motion performance in Baldwin, Long Island. The rear wheels produced 402 hp. Back then, we didn’t care about cops or street racing. Raced many cars which surprised many because of the awesome power and now red lined at 7200 rpm. Had no problems with 440 6 pks, chevelles, 340s, or street vet. The only competition came with the Camero z28 only to find out after the street race my float valves were severely leaking my Sunoco 260. I adjusted the float and asked the Z if he would go again. He said no. All above is true. Now I have an 08 Roush GT 350, 4.6 Dino at 408 rear wheels. Car is in mint condition with only 56 k miles.

Ian Fosbrook There was one design flaw, that I've never seen anyone mention. At 1:11 where the hood met the fender, the hood NEVER lined up properly. Of course, during that time frame Ford was turning out junk (as far as sheet metal fitment). I owned a 70 Mach 1 and a 73 Mach 1 and the 73 was a dream car compared to the 70.

[@mjdart54]

I had a paper route back in the day and one customer's son on my route had a yellow Boss 302. It sat out in the weather, rain, snow, blazing sun waiting for it;s owner to return from Viet Nam. Every day I would stop and admire that car parked in Henrietta New York. I got to know the owners brother Dave Chandler and he told his brother who finally returned, (happy ending) how much I liked his car! I always wondered how you cleaned the rear window finally figuring out you could lift the rear windoe louvers!

What was the true Hp of a Boss 302?

[@sergeantmasson3669]

1969 was better than the 1970 version. I bought an all options yellow/black '69 Boss 302 Mustang new from TASCA Ford in RI and I still have it. I've always maintained it to be in showroom mint condition.'69-'70 Boss 302 Mustangs were faster/quicker than the '67-'69 Camaro Z/28.

[@jeremythompson9895]

69-70 boss 302 might be my favorite mustang ever. It's definitely my favorite small block Stang, although I love the 65 Shelby gt 350 and the 71 boss 351 too. Tough choice lol

[@CJ-ib2jy]

I love the '70 BOSS 302 paint scheme the best. I own a '70 MACH 1 with the same paint colors as the BOSS 302 in the video and came with the same improved suspension. IMO, the '70 BOSS 302 is superior to the '69 because although its intake valve is still so huge that it kills low RPM torque, the '69 intake valves are even bigger and hurt low RPM torque even more. My first car was a '71 Mach 1 351C-4V. It looked very similar to the BOSS 351 but in stock trim, its wasn't as quick. Changing cam, carb and adding headers fixed that.

[@jeremythompson9895]

@@CJ-ib2jy The 70 BOSS 302 is probably my favorite Stang ever built. That little 302 is criminally underrated at 290 horsepower, just like the DZ Chevy 302 in the 67-69 Z28s. Plus the boss 302 are the total package, great handling,braking,looks,and performance. Not just a straight line muscle car. It would be cool to build a boss 302 clone.....that way I could drive it every day without worrying about putting miles on it and dropping the value like I would with a real BOSS 302

I bought a new BOSS 302 in '69, was a nice LOOKING car , but lacked performance even with "lite" mods. Had my eye on the '71 Trans-Am when it came out. I was anxious to trade my Boss in on one, but the Pontiac dealer really "low balled" my BOSS, would only give me $1800 toward the $4500 Trans-Am. I didn't go thru with the deal, ended up trading on a '71 BOSS 351, which got me $2300 for the trade. I REALLY wish I could have gotten that Pontiac!

Great job on the video, some history of the car and few points given about them i like it. Gonna check ou the other muscle car of the week.

[@dandrane1251]

Just to add a few details. The shaker hood, spoiler, slats, and Magnum 500 wheels were optional. Most had flat dog dish hubcaps and trim rings when new but the Magnums seem to always be added with a restoration. Another item is that, while the only '69s with the fenders scoops omitted, no '70s had the scoops. I had a high school teacher who was a big Mustang fan. He ordered the first one ever delivered to our local Ford dealer sight unseen, a 260 automatic coupe. He traded that on a '66 GT fastback 289 HiPo, then a '69 Mach 1 351W 4-speed, and finally a lime green '70 Boss 302. He added the shaker and spoiler and also an interior group which had some Mach 1 features, like woodgrain trim and upgraded seats. He married and traded it on a new Ford pickup.

[@DanielCollins85]

That last part, ouch!

[@jeremythompson9895]

I actually prefer the flat dog dish caps to the Magnum wheels. I saw a yellow boss 302 in a magazine once that actually had a factory delete on the window louvers too. Always preferred the sleeper cars to the ones with fancy wheels, bright colors, and stripes

[@TheOzthewiz]

WRONG! WRONG! The BOSS package INCLUDED: mag styled STEEL wheels and front spoiler. There was NO shaker scoop for '69, NO side scoops for the BOSS package. The "sport slats" were optional

[@TheOzthewiz]

The "shaker scoop" was NOT a standard feature of '69 or '70 BOSS 302. My '69, nor my friends '70 had ANY hoods scoops. The one in THIS video must have been custom. FYI, the Boss Mustangs that raced in the '69-'70 trans-am series had NO scoops, hence the reason that the stock 302's did not have them as purchased. Also, I would like to point out that the FACTORY STOCK cars were more show than go! What REALLY "woke up" my '69 was a set of Doug Thorley "tuned" headers, porting and polishing the heads along with "matching" the intake ports! After these "mods" the throttle response was FANTASTIC! I traded the 302 for the 351 Boss when it came out in '71. The 351 did NOT impress me even with the same mods. I wish I would have kept the '69 302. As they say: "live and learn"!!

[@hotwheel6663]

I wonder what the actual Hp numbers were on the 302 Boss?

[@TheOzthewiz]

In PURELY STOCK form, NOT much over 300 at the flywheel! Those FANTASTIC "semi-hemi" heads were stifled by the stock exhaust manifolds. A set of "tuned" tube headers allowing scavenging of the exhaust would easily push HP into the 350 range. I know because I've been there, done it!

Vacation / family reunion my dad would argue with me about chevy and ford and i would prove him wrong he bought a chevy custom van and thought it was the shit it was 1998 he had lost a leg just below the knee and had a prosthetic. All he would do is complain that the tire hump under his foot cause him to get pains in his ass cuz of the way it made him sit lopsided on our family vaction / family reunion he need beer and i let him take my 1987 custom van to the store he came back and wanted to trade me his chevy for my ford he said it was a way better ride than his and it had foot room so he wasnt sitting lopsided And thats when i showed him my blown out radiator he asked me if i un hooked the temp gauge so it wouldnt come on i laughed in his face and asked him how i would know if it was low on antifreeze if i did that thats when he told me his chevy was running hotter than normal on this trip i drove that van with a blown radiator for more than six months mid may i put a new one in it and drove it a 100,000 miles before the water pump went out on meand that was in 2006 i drove it till i got 1987 ford ranger for 250 dollars that the guys wife dumped 5 lbs of sugar in the gas tankput 165,000 on the ranger before i upgraded to a 1994 lincoln mark vlll gave the ranger to my 16 yro son for his first car I must admit i had a friend that owned a chevy astro van had 300,000 miles on it but he was religous about fixing it before it broke so i thought i would buy one a friends dad was selling had a 140,000 on it had it two weeks was heading to work taking the ohio turnpike went to pass a big truck and was almost passed it when it felt like the wind was holding me back i couldnt get around it it started slowing down losing speed bad so when the big truck got by me i zipped to the edge of the road before i came to a stop it stalled tied up tight as a drum scraped it the next day and havent owned a chevy since

[@tomswinburn1778]

A Ford guy forever, it is my understanding that the same era Z-28 was an almost exact copy performance wise of the Boss 302. Even had the same number of cubic inches of displacement at 302. At the drag strip, on the track, top end and braking were all pretty much dead on between the two. So it came down to brand loyalty. You couldn't go wrong with either. I had the desire but lacked the money to own one. But the same could be said of the ACE based Cobra, the Thunderbolt of a couple years earlier, the big block Galaxies, the performance 'Stangs of any displacement, trim or objective. Knew Mopar and GM fans of like minds. Those were the days to be a car guy. Having money would have made them even better. Most of us didn't.

[@RootsandTendrils]

I have wondered if you had been able to buy one of these beautiful cars, choosing would be seriously difficult.

[@hotrodray6802]

The Boss had big heads and the HIPO cam. The Z 28 had small heads and a big cam. The 4x3 cubes was for homologation.

[@rogermcgrady2019]

67 camaro came out 302 in z/28 first year of z/28

+Quentin Raffensperger I had a 1970 Boss 302 with a louvre. Although they appear to make it hard to see out when you look at the car from the outside this is not the case. In fact the louvre did not seem to affect visibility at all and I felt it made it look much more sporty/cool.

[@quentinraffensperger1699]

R.L. M. oh thx man appreciate it. .. nice car btw.

[@DanielCollins85]

They were designed to help cut out sunlight getting into the car. With that sportsroof rear window being nearly flat, it was like a magnifying glass. A louvered car vs a non-louvered car inside temperature is noticeable.

[@CJ-ib2jy]

I have a '70 Mach 1 with louvers. As others said, the louvers do not interfere in visibility but it can reduce glare and in the spring, it limits pollen from accumulating on your rear window, although I rarely bring out my '70 Mach 1 during those weeks. And if you have the factory louvers, you just unsnap them at the bottom and raise them up on hinges allowing easy access to clean that rear window.

The story in the video about how the BOSS 302 got its name has been told a lot but its not 100% accurate. Larry Shinoda reportedly did say he was working on his boss' car when he was designing the '69 BOSS 302 but he said that because the car would be marketed as the BOSS 302. According to a book titled _Boss_ _&_ _Cobra_ _Jet_ _Mustangs;_ _302,_ _351,_ _428,_ _and_ _429_ by Dr. John Craft, the name SR-2 was bounced around but Shinoda hated it. Ford then decided to name the car the Trans Am Mustang because it would be raced in the Trans Am races. But when Pontiac beat Ford to that name, Shinoda decided on the name BOSS 302. He knew that in California, young people had started using the word boss instead of cool, like, "Hey, that's boss!". After Shinoda educated executives on the double meaning for being high performance and cool, they enthusiastically agreed on the name. And to be consistent, mustangs that would house Ford's new 429 HEMI were named the 429 BOSS, even though the motor had been known by different nicknames such as the Twisted HEMI, Blue Crescent HEMI and the Shotgun.

[@dashriprock2916]

It's a great looking car but it has many flaws. A 3:90 rear with a heavy four speed externally shifted transmission a five speed would have been a huge improvement. The 302 was low on horsepower and heavy it at least could have had aluminum heads plus stainless steel headers and throw the battery in the trunk. The car handles bad it's like driving a boat, my 2500hd truck handles better, the steering box is bad and the power steering , if equipped, was way over boosted and was a poorly engineered external add on. Heavy steel wheels. Heavy 9" rear on leaf springs with heavy rear drum brakes. Have I said heavy too many times the car is heavy. I laugh at the prices people pay for these cars .

[@edgartaylor7421]

He said that the Boss 302s had domed pistons, so basically small block Ford Hemi

[@briancabral9]

No, Domed pistons were common with many street racers back then and could be put in just about every motor and displacement. The Hemi is due to its hemispherical combustion chambers making the head castings huge also giving the Chrysler Hemi another nickname, the Elephant Motor. Fords Boss 429 had a similar design to the Hemi and was also a very large motor forcing Ford to have the Boss 429 be modified by K Kar Kraft to be able to install the 429 motor. it was nicknamed the Semi Hemi.

[@CJ-ib2jy]

The BOSS 302 was a SEMI-HEMI - same combustion chamber as the 351C-4V and 351 BOSS. Although larger, the street version of the BOSS 429 was also a SEMI-HEMI. The race version of the BOSS 429 was a full HEMI.

those terrible hood hinges again they spoil the car

[@TheOzthewiz]

Yes, glad the '69s didn't have them (Hood Locks)!

I once had an old guy tell me with all the confidence in the world, that Ford actually stole the Boss name from Chevy, before they could use it on their own car. This guy worked in both Ford and Chevy factories back in the day. I have never seen or heard this anywhere else, so not sure if it was just an assembly plant rumor or not. Can anyone verify?

Mach1 Q ....my uncle graduated high school in June 1966 and went to work a month later at the Ford plant here in San Jose, Calif (it was actually located in Milpitas bordering SJ to the north) where he worked on the Mustang assembly line...ended up working for Ford 40+ yrs, owned multiple Mustangs, and he never mentioned anything like what you did here....

I'll have to wait until all the Boomers die off until I can afford one, unfortunately that means I'll be gone too.

Only way those are Boss on the strip against a Hemi in dire need of tuning.

Cam gear whine Gilmer belt whine Chevrolet whine: "My big block 502 Nova with dominator can kick your 302s azz"

[@twolak1972]

BS. Those 302 were screamers . Know a guy that had a 70 grabber orange Boss and he raced a 71 440 6pk 4 spd challenger and only lost by half a fender. Gave up 138 CI,s and only lost bu half a yard. Pretty damn good in my book.

[@livewire2759]

[@TRACYxBEAKER]

NO. A 1967 PONTIAC GTO!!!

[@livewire2759]

anything but another mustang

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Rough crowd!

[@livewire2759]

i'm just tired of ford guys thinking the mustang is the end all be all of all cars ever made, sorry but they are not that great, they're not bad, but there are much more powerful, faster, and better looking muscle cars, and i have watched all of the MCOTW videos and mustang vids out number all other specific cars by almost 2 to 1 at this point. most of the mopars shown have been hemi 'cuda's, which are awesome cars, but i wanna see some more b bodys or challengers, 440s and 383s, or 396 and 454 chevelles, or a 389 gto, there is plenty of cars in the collection to show, we don't need to see another mustang for a few months. i wonder if they have a sport fury commando with a 413...

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Not everyone digs all cars, which is the way it should be. The MCOTW stats are currently 152 videos with 17 Mustangs. We hope we'll be showing you more cars that you dig, even if you have to sit through the occasional Mustang. At any rate, thanks for checking out the show and taking the time to comment!
