V8 powered variant of the Ford Mustang originally produced by Ford in 1969 and 1970. It was developed to meet homologation requirements to compete in Trans Am racing and was Ford's response to the success of the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and under SCCA series since 1967. While substantial modifications were required to the stock Boss 302 to be competitive on the track, many thousands were sold to the public in a street-legal form that included a refined high-performance engine along with upgrades to the suspension and brakes over base Mustangs. Ford only produced a total of 7,013 units for 1970 which makes them highly collectable.
