1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 - What It's Really Like To Drive The Trans Am Homologation (POV)

[@TedwardDrives]

Lance Stroll just crashed on a formation lap so please enjoy this Boss 302 while we wait for the GP to continue. Also YES the quarter scoop disappeared for 1970 on other mustangs BUT in 1969 the Boss 302 did away with the scoop first making it a unique attribute of the Boss. Should have explained this more clearly in the video.

The 4 speed in those cars can feel clumsy when driven conservatively. But when wringing the car totally out everything falls beautifully in place. Great car, great drive.

Yeah! Sweet memories driving the Boss 302! My fiancee and I parked our pair of Bosses at church on our wedding day. Mine was Grabber green. His car color just like this review, was called competition gold, Not grabber orange. After the ceremony, we ran out, jumped in his car that guests had decorated with shaving cream on the doors, tin cans tied on the bumper, with rice flying in our faces, falling in his car seats. He was livid. We tore out with that unmistakable Mustang roar, rumbling, growling, squalling, spinning sideways, leaving a match set of black marks, boiling gray smoke amidst folks standing on the curb, in jaw dropping awe. He had to go wash his Boss, before driving to our honeymoon in Cherokee NC. The Boss is not a straight line track car. Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, to get the full thrill ride. Trips with our Boss Mustang Car Club thru these hills, Banging through the gears with that Hurst T-handle shifter, hugging those curves, is the best fun we ever had... With clothes on... Thanks for the virtual tour of my memories ❣️ Have fun...

Awesome comment, thanks!

[@jamesw.6931]

I would never drive a classic such as the Boss 302 or any of my machines to a wedding. You pretty much know the clowns are going to mess with the car; I have been told by some of the clueless; "It's just a car." Did the shoe polish or whatever they used come completely out of the paint? Take a look at the paint up close in the light; paint without a clear coat is porous to some extent. 😵‍💫

[@User-cc6cq]

@jamesw.6931 I took Sharon's comment as a "back in the day" remembrance...still a cool story either way.

[@JoeFreeman-y2d]

Back in hung out on Van Nuys Blvd on Wed nights at Bobs Big Boy. at the time I had a 1967 Corvette that had been a 427 435 hp 4 speed. Thanks to the plastic coming off the main timing gear at 42000 miles...not an uncommon occurance I learned...the Corvette was now running a LS6 short block with LS7 cam and springs and the original top end including the tripower. it was black on black. i met a girl around 20 who had a 70 Boss 302 just like the one in this video. we became friends and exchanged rides sometimes. At the time I also owned 69 Z28 Camaro with the 4 wheel disc brakes which was totally stock. The Boss 302 was noticeably stronger than the Z28. A few years previously I watched Donahue in the Penske Z28 fight it out with Jones in a TransAm race at Bryar. Donahue won that race driving in his usual impeccably smooth manner. But Jones had the edge in power on the straights. The actual TA race cars were a far cry from their street brethern. They had a lot more suspension under them sat lower had different aero aids such as larger front spoilers and engines that by 69 and 70 were putting out well in excess of 400 hp. It was a great series with great cars...probably the last where factories competed against each ither with something approximating what you could walk into a dealership and buy then proceed to the parts department buy the homologated race parts proceed to some outfit like Holman Moody or Traco for some engine upgrades and then go to the track and race. of course you still wouldnt be competitive with the factory or high sponsored teams such as Penske .But you had the honor of being passed by people like Donahue Jones Follmer Gurney and Savage. when I lived in California Id go to Monterey every year to watch these cars race. only thing more excitingvwas when a Corvette zgran Sport showed up. Watching the rear tires spin coming out of a slow corner was awesome it was a good time to be alive and young.

I’ve got a 67 GTO, and all of the power steering cars from the 60’ and early 70’s were over assisted and very fluffy. One trick we can do with the goats is take the box out of Monte Carlo SS and put it in. The top of the box fits right on top so your codes are still correct, but you have variable ratio. It makes a HUGE difference.

@ I believe it was a mid 80’s. I believe they changed from the Saginaw box after that? It’s been so long ago I’m not positive. I’ll dig into it and get back with you. Yea, those 60’s power steering cars are so over assisted and vague feeling, it ruins the driving experience.

They have remained my absolute favorites over the decades and a proper Boss such as this one is one of my top 5 dream cars.

The scariest night in a muscle car was the night I was sitting in the middle of the bench seat of a 1969 440-powered Dodge Super Bee. As we left the tavern, it was WOT through the gears. Looking at the speedometer the needle had wound past the markings and was bouncing off the peg when we hit a dip in the road. Realizing we were dead as the car bottomed out and rebounded up slightly sideways. How Kenny maintained control I will never know.

You can actually bolt Cleveland heada onto a Windsor block, using a special intake manifold. Which is one reason why these cars were so special. The Cleveland heads are significantly better, so much so, that the Boss 302 is an engine who's HP rating was closer to Net rating than the Gross rating used on most cars at the time. So, it was one of the "underrated" enginea of the time.

The Cleveland heads are simply special. The 69/70 stang is very underrated in many aspects. The power steering can be tuned to be more precise. I have 70 Mach1 with 500hp 351c, 4sp / 4.30 rear, same aero package and shaker….owned it for 47 years since I was 17. You mentioned C3s…. I also own a C3 1982 Convertible :) yes convertible, with an LS6 454 crate motor, side pipes and 5 speed….it weighs in at 3350 with stock AC… When the motors and suspensions are tuned to perfection, the 70 Stang and c3 BB represent a space in time that cannot be explain in words…or maybe “Acid Trip” is close. (Not that I ever did that….). The problem is that the older cars alway need more tuning/adjust even when new… engineering has come a long long way.

[@HAL-dm1eh]

They had the same large round ports as the 429/460, and were way too much for this little street engine. Many reviewers were disappointed in the fact they weren't getting the power until Ford's recommended red line. Part of the reason many of these cars with original engines don't exist anymore is because owners ignored the red line. The engine would pull hard from 5500 to 7000 and above, but then it also eventually threw a rod. The design of those fire breathing heads are still used on Ford NASCAR engines to this day.

[@jamesmedina2062]

The Mustang has a stock or modified engine?

[@jasonmorahan7450]

On Australian racetracks in the 70s, which were fairly tight to restrict speeds it turned out the Boss 302 made comfortably quicker track times than the Boss 429, both versions tried by Alan Moffat's racing team IIRC. The heavier big block engine just threw the handling out to a disadvantage without enough high-speed sections to compensate.

[@hiitsstillme]

Nice car, for sure. As per Larry Shinoda, in an interview in one of our old car mags, the name "Boss" came from the street lingo at the time... something hip or cool was said to be "Boss, man." Although Shinoda respected Knudsen, he had his own aspirations: "I want to be the first Japanese-American president of Ford", he mused. Later, he was chided by readers of enthusiast mags, as the term "Boss" went way back to the mid-'60's, and was long out of vogue by the time the car came out.

[@zombywoof1072]

I was a freshman in high school in 1970, so I can tell you that "Boss" was a big part of pop culture at the time, including the TV show *_Boss City_* I asked GPT to tell me what it meant, because I'm lazy: In 1970s slang, "boss" was a term that meant something was exceptionally cool, impressive, or stylish. It was used to describe anything that stood out as excellent or remarkable, similar to other slang terms of the era like "far out" or "groovy." You might hear someone say, "That car is boss," to mean the car looked fantastic. The term "boss" captured the admiration and enthusiasm associated with standout fashion, music, or personality, marking something as "top tier" in terms of appeal or quality. This usage traces back to African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and became widespread in American pop culture during that time. Its popularity declined somewhat after the 1970s but still appears occasionally in nostalgic or retro contexts.
