Anyone that saves these old cars gets my vote 👍

[@juanandres9646]

Actually the one that was lucky is the boss.. otherwise it will sit and rot to earth...keep up the great work and uploading videos!!!

[@mattmaly5085]

Dont be offended but that is Nothing more than a pile of junk

[@brokendreamsgarage]

@@mattmaly5085 why cause u don't know how to fix it and don't have the skill set

[@gregsly1247]

I never cease to be amazed at your skill set. The fact that you can see beyond the current state of this car and take on the task of bringing it back from the brink is admirable. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the videos.

[@Fordman7575]

Congrats on the great find! I had a very similar situation back in the early 90's. I was 16 or 17 and a friend of mine told me about a rumor he heard about a Boss 302 in a junk yard that was very close to were I lived. This was a small salvage yard that is out in the country. It couldn't be seen from the main road. I thought my friend was joking around. But I decided to take a drive out there and check for myself. Sure enough there was a red 1970 Boss 302. I asked about it and the owner said it belonged to his son. So I asked him if he could talk to his son and see if he'd want to sell it. A while later I heard back that he was willing to sell it and it had a clear title. I asked how much and he said $200! Needless to say I bought it. And then the battle started. It took the owner over 6 months to pull it out for me so I could haul it home. I actually towed it home behind my 65 Mustang coupe on a home made car dolly my dad built. Mine was in slightly better shape then yours. It was more complete. The Boss engine was long gone. It had a seized up Mexican block 302 in it. Most of the original 4 spd was in pieces in the trunk. The original rear end housing and axles were there but the center section was gone. The original hood was gone, it had a white Mach 1 hood with the scoop missing. I cleaned the car out and pulled a lot of the interior out to clean out the car. I found the build sheet. After getting it all cleaned out and seeing just how rusty it was I decided I was way over my head. This led me to my biggest car related regret in my life. Being young and broke, I traded the Boss to a Mustang guy I knew for a rebuilt FE Top loader 4spd transmission and a few hundred dollars. There's not a day that goes by that I don't wish I still had that car!!

[@drew7767]

I shake my head at the people that debate the originality, authenticity or money behind fixing a car that needs so much. Those are people that can’t do the work let alone do it well and can’t pay to have the work done. I appreciate the skill and patience it takes to bring a vehicle back to life I can’t wait to see you get to work on it. to the negative people that don’t understand, maybe just keep your thoughts to yourself.

[@williamroberts4049]

Remember when the Bosses were new at the Ford dealership my dad worked at in Aurora Nebraska can't wait to see this one come together

[@tedcoombs9258]

Wish you could start the project sooner, always interesting.

[@jeffreynolds3848]

Your post and this project are right up my alley, too - keep ‘em coming’...!

[@ralphmillais5237]

You can't get enough of those Mustangs! I wish you had the time to do more videos because you do very interesting work.

[@cobra3289]

Really appreciate people bring this treasures back to former glory. Thanks for upload.

[@jameseriksen8522]

It is a treasure and part of American history.

[@joevergnetti767]

If you had a turn signal you could rebuild it! This will bea cool project- and you have the vin tag!

[@richardperkins6132]

A truly great find my friend. An yes, you do it the way you wanna do it. It's your car so have at it. Who cares what everyone else thinks or says. They want it done there way. Then let them go find one, an do it there way. Great video. An once again congratulations on your find. Can't wait to see you get her done 😎👍👍

[@angeloc3842]

Love it!! Great story, great score

[@jeffreynolds3848]

My sentiments entirely...!

[@mchristr]

You bought a VIN tag and that's a great thing. This car will be resurrected in spirit.

[@jinkang2913]

I am so glad you found the car and it's going to be on the road the way it should be

[@raymonddargie6594]

I'm sure that Mustang will have a good home. You are good at what you do and you have saved a beautiful automobile from decay. I can't wait to see it back the way it looked originally.Keep up the good work.

[@stevejones7593]

Glad you can save this old warrior, labor of love.

[@bustersgarage]

Lovely find! Some cars have great histories and some have very unfortunate ones. I passed up a 1967 GT Fastback shell... the shell was way "less scary" than this in metal work, but it had too much sentiment for people near me. It was crashed "early into ownership" then parked in a junk yard and stripped of everything. It hit a tree very squarely in the middle (radiator support was nearly touching the cowl) and I found out the passenger that was sitting in the back seat died. A friend of my step dads that died from that accident in high school... Two other friends were in the car, all ejected forward, but one didn't miss the tree. This is why I appreciate people who are respectful when asking about cars that are just "laying around" and why I always encourage it.

[@kurtmillard5904]

My aunt’s brother had a ‘70 Boss 302, 4 speed car that also happened to be grabber orange. Beautiful car that I was fortunate to get a ride in around the windy roads of southern Wi when I was 14. One of the cars that cemented my love of muscle cars.

[@Thomas63r2]

This will be the addition of a bunch of new and used parts to a Boss vin plate. Mad skills on your part.

[@matthewrschuler]

Can’t wait to see future videos on this car!

[@torekristoffersen176]

So cool, great save…. Love the story…

[@rodbarton2354]

A diamond in the rough and a prefect project for your skill set. I’m looking forward to seeing it restored.

[@POPO-fy9hl]

I know you will make it a jewel

[@peteranderson6172]

Awesome !!! it will be a dream car . Once you ! Have rebuilt it

[@frankbonura5710]

You are my hero!!! Well done sir, you deserve that car and when you are done with it, it will be better than new. I hope you raise every first generation Mustang from the dead.

[@mylord1966]

Thankyou for saving a mighty Boss

[@Heeman5]

Happy for you and excited to see all of your upcoming builds. Keep #savingtherustbuckets !!!!👍🏼💪🏼🤙🏼

Glad somebody got it with the knowledge,and the talent to bring this back to life.

[@nealpurdy1202]

Glad you are saving another Boss

[@jeffriggs6703]

Nice car, have to have fortitude to repair!! Like some of graveyard cars mopars, passion!!

[@houseofno]

I love these finds - you go looking for something else, and something really cool sneaks up on you like this. Thanks for the video. Nothing left on it to resurrect it as a numbers-matching car, but that just makes it more fun. I love ALL of the first gen Mustangs. The 1970 model was a very distinctive looking car - the only year they looked like this, and right when the size of these cars started to get out of hand.

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

Wow what a find and if anyone can bring it back life you're the one looking forward for all the updates on this one thumbs up 👍

[@buffdoc46]

More content please. Love your work 💪

Very nice it's your hobby and you can do it the way you want bringing back from the graveyard is very cool. 👍😒

You found a small part of a Boss 302. Good luck that will be a long project and a lot of work.

[@MotorScotti]

Great find! Nice that you're gonna keep it and bring it back to factory conditions!

[@daniellebcooper7160]

Looking forward to seeing it slowly come back to life.

[@danboren6567]

You found a VIN tag, that's about all that won't be replaced.

[@234dilligaf]

The tag is probably badly corroded, and will have to get a new one stamped out.

Wow great find I'm sure it will be mint after your done

Cool my friend had one nice

[@dale436]

From a financial stand point it would be much cheaper to buy one already restored, but It's great you're planning on saving it. Cool car if you can bring it back,

[@Powershift]

SO awesome you're saving another Boss!

That's an awesome find mate my boss is in Mandarin

Wow....I remember the Boss back in the day when I was 17 but I could never afford to buy one ....Looking forward to seeing you restore it....

[@robj2704]

Many would walk away from that one. But, I've seen your restoration work and it looks within the realm of reasonable.

[@VegasRT500]

Saving a car like that is awesome. So many rare cars in that shape went to the crusher.

I love when he carves up a classic and restores it

[@davidleach4811]

Awesome! I'm old enough to remember that car when it was new. My brother in law had a 70 Mach 1 Acapulco Blue loaded to the gills I used to just stare at and drool......

Hey look... is that a 4-leaf clover. Sometimes you just get lucky. Congrats.

[@tjjoseph333]

Wow, this is so cool. A.) that you found it and B.) that you're blessed to be talented enough to reserect these cars from this level. Who gives a Rats Rectum about they quantity of new metal. The fact that the VIN tags are there and its being saved is the coolest thing ever! Rock on Bud. And its black interior 4 speed car!! Cant wait

[@noneyabidness9644]

I both love and hate this find. I love it, because like you, I love finding gems in the rough to fix up for myself...I also hate it, because I know how much effort, time and materials goes into these projects.

[@chevelleranch7481]

Nice save man! Its in the right hands now!

[@kenbtheman]

That’s a nice find. I’ve been doing Mopar restorations for as long as I can remember. I’ve done a few that were really rough. I won’t get involved with a car that rough anymore (too much for me with little profit), but it’s definitely something that can be done, especially it it’s for yourself and there isn’t any time frame involved. If I buy something like that now it’s mainly for some odds and ends that can be cut off of what’s left.

[@MrRadiodio]

you will make that car road worthy no doubt

[@tedpeters9699]

When it's done call it Frankenstein. It's all stitched together.

[@bustersgarage]

And hells yes to Grabber Orange!

[@1of1RTR]

Great find. how awesome it's your favorite color and it's a boss.!!! it's going to be a great build 🤙 🇺🇸

[@AK-ck7cy]

That will be great when you get it done. Like you said it's going to be yours. It can be fixed great that you saved it. Looking forward to seeing you work on it. Cannot wait to see you get the engine and all that parts for it . Looking forward to seeing the videos on it.

[@kmoss9521]

Thank you for finding my car. I’ll come by Sunday and pick it up!

[@dcsmitty50]

I'd be excited too lol. Crazy that no one had snatched it before you, or stole the VIN tag! Did you get the 67 too?

Yea what about the 67

I hope the worked out deal was, You can have it if you haul it off....

[@artbrookey3468]

You answered my question...you are doing the car to keep. That, I understand...cause you would never make money on it. To keep? Yea, that I like. I am a Mopar guy, but will admit, always, always loved the Boss 302, 429...and the '70 Torino 429..Ford really got it right with these..Congrats man !!!

[@johnmcmullen456]

@Robert Marks Make money easy? I hope so, but nothing will be original, what about matching numbers, etc?

[@basiliotan5101]

You're the only want in this planet that is qualified to restore this Boss 302 to factory specs--that much i am 100% sure!

[@htwrk2]

Hi Ben Been watching a lot of your videos. My question is how much of the original body has to be kept to keep the vin number. Sorry if this question has been asked before.
