- I have often been asked what are some things to look for when you are looking at buying a Boss 302 Mustang, so I decided to go ahead and make a video on the things I would want and would have wanted to know before I bought my car thinking I just bought a tuned Coyote. This is not an all encompassing list but it is 5 of the things I see most frequently discussed on the Boss owners pages. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think below or what you wish I would have talked about and maybe I'll do a followup video. Don't forget to Like and SUBSCRIBE!

This was brought to my attention that the info I found on the Vin number was slightly flawed. Please refer to this reference for the Boss Engine code.

Awesome, this will be part of buying checklist in the near future! Thank you!
Yeah man, sorry it took so long you asked for it months ago haha
Awesome premiere brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the incredible content coming. Hope you have an amazing weekend
Thanks Tim
Lots of good info Matt...Nice job! The outtakes were funny too.
Thank you Sir, it was an overdue video. Not as clean as I would have liked. I had to re edit it 4 times due to copyright claims on "copyright free" music
This is a great video ! Very informative. Those boss 302 are dope man
I love this car still!
Some good pointers! The Trackey is now $450 through Ford Racing. It’s a handheld you use yourself to flash the computer, but you still have to take the car and red key to a Ford dealer for programming, which isn’t included in the $450, so your looking at around $600 all in to get it operable on a car currently without it.
Yeah prices have shot up since I bought the car 😄 thanks for the knowledge
Excellent video - Thanks!
Thanks for watching, they are awesome cars, had mine for 6 years and still love it like the first day
I'd love to buy one of these. Not in a position to right now but this car's on my list.
Its the one car I'll never sell for sure. I love it, had it since Jan 2017 and still gives me the same smile
Thank you for this info. Getting ready to acquire a Boss to have Brenspeed to do some work on.
Wow thats awesome, what are you having done to her
Pretty informative info for those that don’t know. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the boss cars were the only ones to offer adjustable struts
I cant speak intelligently about the new cars and I dont knownof the track packs in 13 did but I think you are right
Dope vid Matt! I got lucky with my car that I have all the options. Bro if this RUclips thing doesn’t pan out I see you on the Comedy channel lol. Nice ending!
This is definitely just a hobby that now finally has a little benefit lol. If I can make enough to mod my car some that would be amazing
Love any and all 2012 Boss 302 vids. For 2012 Ford produced a total of 4,016 Boss 302 Mustangs. There were 3,249 basic cars and 767 Laguna Seca models. For 2013, production amounted to 4,273 cars, with 3,526 of the street version and 747 Laguna Seca editions. I own from new #2558 P/White with Recaro and Torsen 373 rear / Boss 302 Car Cover / Boss 302 Packet with all documentation / Red and Black Key - Red Key has not been activated - with 9,108 miles. Original Tires/Battery - Baffles removed - adult owned and operated - garaged - has never even seen rain. I don't think I will ever sell it unless necessary - but what is my Car Worth? Would love to know. Any Boss owners out there - please love and treasure these rare mustangs. So many have been lost through mods/attrition. Best to all.
Thanks for watching Thomas, your car sounds great, I wish i had recaros I plan on being buried in mine lol
You decide to sell yet? I'll buy it.
I always wondered what the production numbers are for each year and color? Love the Boss mustangs!
I have a graphic on the numbers somewhere. It is very limited production
Even the kids have boss 302s. That was pretty cool.
Yes sir even my newborn has one I already custom made for him lol
Great video, really informative. Beautiful cars
Man I've just noticed im not getting notifications for comments anymore, thanks for watching. I tried to hit some things I didn't know about the car when I bought it
@@BrailsfordsRides it keeps unsubscribing me from channels daily... it’s getting frustrating
@@NoFox_Given im not unsubbed, I just don't get notifications when everyone comments since I crossed 1k
I sing the praises of my Blowfish Racing shifter bracket. Doubles as a driveshaft safety loop.
Nice, ive got a BMR safety loop to couple with my calimer stage 3 when i throw it on
Kinda funny story I purchased a 2012 302 Laguna Seca a while back. Had never seen one in the streets. Literally pulled out of the dealership and 3 minutes later another LS passes me going the other way.
Thats actually incredible to hear 🤣🤣🤣
I would have loved an LS but if you've seen my other content I need the back seat haha
The VIN including P8C doesn't signify a Boss 302. P8C is the designation for a V8 coupe, which also covers all the normal GTs. What you should be looking for is a 'U' after the P8C, which DOES signify a Boss 302. A 'P8CF' would be a normal coupe GT.
Interesting ill have to dig into it more I thought I found that info from CJ Pony parts so ill look again and make an edit in the description thanks for the knowledge my friend, we are all just trying to help others out and im still learning every day
This is where I found the decoder
www.mustangspecs.com/2012-mustang-vin/
@@BrailsfordsRides Yeah, and you see how 'P8C' is listed twice, both for Coupe GTs and the Boss 302? The decoder also has bad information regarding the engine code. Look at your own VIN, this decoder doesn't cover the 'U' engine code. Does your car not exist? This is a much better decoder: mustangattitude.com/mustang/2012vinmatrix.shtml
@@mwjscn thanks ill give it a look and pin in the description next time I'm at my laptop!
@@mwjscn thanks for the help, I pinned the link you sent
New channel logo is dope
# 🚗 🚘
Thank you Sir!
Track Attack was at Miller in Utah... was a great day
I'm jealous I was late to the game with my Boss in 2017. In 2012 I had just graduated college without a penny to my name due to a pending engagement to a special lady 🤣
I plan on getting a boss to sit next to my modified 07 gt500 in the future I am going to modify the boss too. I don't care about the track key at all because I am going to get an actual tune plus other mods. That is the least of my worries. These cars are badass. Prob do a na 500+ rwhp build in an oem+ type fashion and make it even more of a corner carver than what it already is. That way I got the big power big torque gt500 with a gen3r for the straight line stuff and the high revving all motor boss for the twisties that can show alot of these bolt on 10r80 cars what these old s197 can do with the right tweaks and a wheel man behind the wheel aka driver mod haha. Love these cars ❤️
I'm going to ditch my track key when I get a blower. It's the goal for my channel and these bad boys can handle 1k safely as long as you change the OPGs
Also that will be a badass garage for you
That's what I'm trying to figure out, mine has the p8c and rither the guy I bought it from didn't know what he had or...?
Had no idea about the “P8C” ! I’ve had my boss for almost a year and I ran out to check my vin and see if I had it! Happy to report that I do indeed have a real boss and not a clone 😅
To be extra certain read my pinned comment on this vid 😂. I was going with what my research found but a Ford engineer informed me it's not entirely the end all be all to be a Boss Vin
Make sure you enter to win a set of Boss strut covers I'm giving away in my Christmas giveaway video
Of all...make sure the damn owners kit is there. Still looking for my #2337 kit. Came up missing from a dealership before I bought it. Ford will NOT reproduce the full manuals. Yes you can get certs but cannot get the kit
Yeah I bought my car and meet the original owner a few days after I left the dealership
Interesting video what are the production numbers of these cars
3250 standard Boss 302's made of various colors in 2012. 766 Laguna Seca Boss 302's made in 2012
Nice!!
Thanks Frank
Cost me $1000. To purchase track key programmer and get downloaded through Ford Racing dealer in Canada two years ago. Was the only option available for me at time. Lucky Americans! Every thing is more affordable in your country.
1000??? Damn, sorry for the late reply. This one slipped by. The exchange rate should put us pretty close actual in price right?
Your car is rare just because of the standard BOSS seats. Cool!
Doesn't mean I don't wish I had the recaros 🤣
Any advantages with a 13-14 boss over a 11-12? I personally like the look of the 11-12’s more
So they only made bosses in 12 and 13 unless you can source a Boss 302R or 302S built for racing from 14. But I get what you are asking, the only advantage is the track apps. I personally prefer the 12 front end and the 13 rear hence why I changed to 13 tail lights
@@BrailsfordsRides gotcha and agreed thx
Best mustang ever ill take that boss 302 over any new mustang or gt500
This one is for sure in the forever garage for me
Thanks for watching 🤘
Got my 2012 Boss 302 with 12k miles. Hope to keep it low mileage for a long time. Car is a beast
I do the same but I do drive it when its nice out to enjoy it, thsts what its all about IMO. Up to 63k, which im ok with because ill never sell this car. Too much emotional attachment and memories with my kids
@@BrailsfordsRides yea i put around 50 miles a month in it. Never selling either.
@@YourNeighborhoodOT I do a fair bit more than that. Last year I only did 1.5k miles because all the shows were cancelled due to COVID. I anticipate more this year. Thank you for checking out my channel Sir, how long have you had the car
@@BrailsfordsRides 2 years. Bought from original owner with 11,525 miles and it now has 12,090 . No problem man. I subscribed also
@@YourNeighborhoodOT yeah after nearly 5 years it still has that same new feeling ito me each time.
You have a car seat in the back too? Nice man
More than just that find one of my videos hauling the mini Boss 302s 😁
Mint condition 90k miles for 11k black and gray color way should I cop??
Is it a real Boss? Sounds like a LS 2013 if real which would be a crazy deal. Is it salvage
Where is the pc8, mine has the pc8 in vin and comes back a gt
Check out my pinned comment. And read some of the other comments. Back when I made this I made one mistake. I believe it should have been P8CU for a Boss. Sorry for the confusion
Hey friend, I just wanted to ask about the boss. How much did you sold it for? I am looking to buy one here in Europe. But they go from 50k..
This was before the pandemic, he sold it for 28k I believe
@@BrailsfordsRides Sweet Jesus 😅 Such difference in price.. We really live in this system.. 😒 Which website and state in US is the best to look for cars like 302, Mach 1 and GT?
P8c ,5th,6th 7th digit
Beautiful ride....manual or nothing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Id be ok with an auto if I was building a drag car
@@BrailsfordsRides yes...indeed 🔥🔥🔥 for racing
Clean examples are getting harder to find! Twining
Yeah his was in good shape he just didn't clean it before showing up lol
@@owenwu6047 yeah man the govt handouts have made everything go up $$$ glad mine is paid off 😆
How does a short shifter save 5th gear
It wont save the gear however you won't miss shifts at 7.5-7.8k rpm and unintentionally grind the gears. Its more of a preventative measure imo
You'd also want to add the braided clutch line so you don't lose pedal feel under high heat and high use. The plastic line will sometimes expand and contract resulting in your pedal sticking to the floor from time to time
Is it still available?
Sold immediately after posting im afraid
MY RACE RED 302 HAS LESS THAN 14K MILES.....I WONDER HOW MANY OF THE 721 SURVIVED...
Great question, they are wrecked every month or so, you'll see a new one sitting at parts farm pretty frequently sadly
Beutiful car
Thank you Sir
Stop the snaping pimp music in the background. Otherwise a good vid.
🤣🤣 this is an old vid lol
Let me know what you'd want to know about the Boss 302
I'm looking at a 2012 boss 302. It has 66k on the clock. It has the standard B2 seats, it does have the track key, but not sure about the owners packet. I understand the transmissions have issues, can you elaborate? What other mechanical issues should I be looking for? TY
@@FE428Power ill reply fully in a bit, or ill be live tonight and can answer
@@FE428Power MT82s are hit or miss, either you get a good one or you get a dud. The 5th gear is known for getting overpowered and basically turned into a neutral... at 66k miles id want a thorough test drive. Mine is at 63k and drives great and most boas owners take care of their toys but you don't want to end up with a pricey repair bill. The MY82 is also known for its lockout issues, but there are mods you can do to make it better. I installed a braided clutch line because the stock would deform under heat and you'd lose pedal. The MGW race spec short throw is on my car and I've never been locked out. Some people also put a better clutch in but mine is OEM at 63k and going. I hope this helps, of you need anything else let me know.
Never understood putting up a "for sale" video with no pricing information. Its not like its not going to come up. I'm guessing asking price 32k... 2012 with those miles, sale for 24k to 26k
He sold the car the next day after I posted so its gone
This was also more of an informative video on what to look fro that a buyer may not know about. I was very under informed when I bought my Boss but found out everything later. He just happened to be selling his car and had another trim package so I invited him to come be in the video
cool video, bloopers lol
Thanks Jimmy!
Yeah it's never perfect on a first take in any video there are always redos an scenes removed 🤣
Thank u brails , shows character but actually I was cracking up. I'm trying to run one down right now, plus dodge going electric to
@@jimmyhart8020 what are you looking for in particular
The boss 2012, the 13 is cool but 12 is cooler. More so front clip. Dodge has always been my go to but
Did you get the boss sold?
Yeah the guy selling his Boss sold it the day after I posted this video
@@BrailsfordsRides very cool! I’m thinking about getting one. I’m a big car nut. Never had a mustang before was looking at the the Shelby gt350. But the prices are getting ridiculous!
@@drdoom9592 shelby has more power but the Boss can hold more power if you add boost later. Don't get me wrong though I do love the shelbies too, but I could never part with my Boss
@@BrailsfordsRides is their a big difference in the 2012 model vs 2013?
@@drdoom9592 2013 has more tech. First year of track apps. I love the front of the 12 but rear of the 13. So ill be swapping my rear in the future, already have the tail lights
Good tips! Us fat people definitely don't like Recaros lol
hard to breath but i still want them, lol
Can you please give me his info, I may know someone interested. Thx !
Its in the description below pm me on IG I can give you some advice on the owner
Sorry, I see it now, thanks!
He just sold it to Carmax a little while ago for $27,000, was asking $28,000.
@@lglturbo damn he made put pretty good lol
@@BrailsfordsRides Damn, Carmax gonna turnaround and sell it for 37k, 34k minimum. Tough selling cars. If you can, you need to find an “enthusiast” to sell to, can be tough though.
So this guy needs to get someone to hold the camera and I really see trailer hitch on one these cars?.
Yeah there is a hitch and it's for a damn good reason. I custom painted 3 power wheels mustangs to be identical to mine. I trailer them to car shows, check out some other vids of it you'll see
As far as camera man, my kids are too young lol
Jeez the more and more videos of this car are going to make theses harder to find smh
I got mine lol
P8c sorry
🇵🇷🔨
Define fat
🤣🤣🤣 large, im a 38 waist and it hugs me pretty good 👍 hahaha
@@BrailsfordsRides I guess I'm fat! Lol 42" waist 6'4" 280lbs
