When I was bidding, I could see that this Boss had a few cool mods, but nothing prepared me for what I was about to find underneath!

That has a Ngauge tuning device. It's the best tuning device out there. The Roadrunner engine can handle 1000whp reliably if tuned correctly. Use Lind Racing for the safest most reliably tuning.

[@orwellknew9112]

That thing on the rear end attached to the rear diff. cover is called a Watts Linkage. It allows the axle to move up and down although it is attached to the body. Unlike a Panhard bar, which serves the same purpose, it doesn’t move the axle side to side as it’s moving up and down. With a Watts Linkage, the axle remains centred under the body, improving the handling compared to a stock version with only a Panhard Bar.

[@AthensAtWork]

That suspension contraption is called a watts link. Best for axle locating side to side

[@whippledmarauder1159]

Be curious whos roll bar is it?? It held up amazingly.

[@bigf1502]

I keep seeing the SRT-10 in the back… can’t wait for that baby to be finished! Love the new car! MUSTANG BABAAAAYYYY!

[@Atomic_Vengeance]

I'm very very happy that this mustang isn't getting scrapped I have grown up idolising them and I'm sad when I see destroyed ones.

[@DCDLaserCNC]

Seeing this mangled Boss 302 makes me sad. I had a 2013 Boss 302 in Gotta Have It Green and really miss the car. They are great Mustangs.

[@danielluedecke9622]

Mustang driver here. The trunk lid button is on the center console left of the shifter where traction control and hazards are. Also that looks like the cortex watts link on the 8.8 rear end. Less lateral movement than a panhardbar. Biggest plus it has is more stability on a bump in a high speed corner. Could pare it with their torque arm with the right mid pipe for better entry and exit on corners and putting the power down. It also eliminates the terrible 3rd link UCA.

[@IAmLowkey]

I love you guy’s videos. My birthday is in 2 days. I’ll be 24, and looking at buying a MK5 Supra to celebrate it. I’ve worked hard to save up for it, so heres hoping. My first car was totaled 2 weeks after my birthday last year by a drunk driver on my way to work. Being in the scrap yard, and watching your content, makes me dream to do what you all do some day. Its always awesome to see these projects come together - especially in one video!!

[@TheLolisuck]

I’ve owned my boss302 for 12 years now, and it’s also white/black.. best car i’ve ever owned. This is one you got is really nicely modified the watts link in the back with the control arms from maximum motorsports is pretty expensive, not to mention the splitter and the trans and even the roll cage.. definitely was raced around the track, keep in mind some boss specific parts that are no longer in production by ford like the side exhaust, stickers, gauge cluster (higher redline than gt), dash panels, door cards, seats. You can still get the alcantara steering wheel and shifter boot. The a/c vents and interior door handles are the same from a gt500 satin instead of chrome

[@ChickinGaming]

Great to see the Boss 302 finally get some love. I remember when you first teased it at the end of a video a long time ago. I own a Grabber Blue 2013 Boss 302, and absolutely love it. I don’t ever see myself selling it. I vote keeping the wheels the same color. It, along with the red paint, reminds me of the 2011 Boss 302R1 used in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. And that one looked to be inspired by the Bud Moore 1969 Boss 302

[@Bertinator-nm9ld]

That's pretty awesome! I also picked up a Grabber Blue 302, a few years back. I've added 52,000 miles on top of the 28,000 that the previous owners put on, and it's been an awesome car that I've loved every minute of! I think mine has also found its permanent home. I'd recommend removing the clutch assist spring and buying the MGW shifter, if you haven't already. Those two modifications fixed most all of the high RPM lockout and sticky clutch issues that I initially ran into. The upgrade to finally fix the last little bit will probably be an aftermarket clutch, but I'm happy with where it sits now. Wonderful machines. Hope you enjoy yours!
