    1970 Mustang BOSS 302 Trans Am Parts Development Car Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #173
    This week, we spend some time with an amazing 1970 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 that was used as the development car for Ford's performance parts program. The idea was to help people build Trans Am spec racers of their own using some help from Ford and Kar Kraft engineers. The Brothers Collection is faster… and louder… thanks to this historic racer and it's cool history!

    Owned a 1969 Boss 302 when almost new. Traded it in on a Toyta Celica during the gas crunch. Many years later bought a 1970 Boss 302 which I owned for many years., Great cars. Gone but not forgotten!

    A SISTER CAR went to AUSTRALIA, raced widely by Allan Moffat, car now in a collection by BOWDENS in Queensland! That car certainly has an AURA about it, even when its stopped and parked you can FEEL its pulse.

      The 65 Shelby GT350 and 69-70 Boss 302 are my favorite Mustangs ever made. I'd love to own a 68 1/2 Mustang 428 CJ or a BOSS 429 but the small block Stangs handled much better than the big block equipped Mustang's. I like the 71 BOSS 351 too mostly because of the engine...even though I don't really care for the 71-73 Mustang body style

    In 1972, just after I graduated from high school, I bought a 1970 Boss 302. Medium metallic blue, front spoiler, rear spoiler, SportSlats and Magnum 500’s. Unfortunately it was abused before I got it but was still impressive. Ford also had a couple of Muscle Parts booklets that covered all their engines and had a Stage 1, 2 and 3 of improvements. Unfortunately Ford didn’t stick with it long and ended that program.

    I grew up with a 70 mach 1 351 w 4 speed. Lot of fun. These cars ,Bud Moore Trans-am Mustangs, are my favorite race cars of all time. # 15,#16 so much match this car. Had both 69 and 70 teams. As a kid I had a Sizzlers race team of Boss 302's. My friends thought I was nuts cause I would trade things for their Mustang bodies and paint them up to match the actual race cars. Even had a Matchbox car hauler to put my team on like I'm going somewhere. Kinda dumb now but I was 10- 11 yrs old and had a race team. L O L.

    McGee Motorsports at Sears Point stables several Bud Moore Trans Am cars, including the #16 Peter Gregg car. Bud Moore put "skinny leaf springs" in them with a Watts linkage.
    ..."skinny leaf springs" were very narrow 1.25" wide with spherical bearings in the eyes, instead of plain bushings and pins. So, the leaf springs rotated under load along with the axle & didn't twist. These old guys were very clever.

    I asked For to sell me parts to repair one of their -longest lasting trucks on the road- a 1987 F150, two wheel drive with 4 speed and a straight 6. I was steered to the retail sales department for new trucks. With advice like that I would sooner buy some snotty import, I said. I was told I was right, but that We don't make parts further back than for 1999 models. Has Ford gone completely lame ? I'm keeping mine anyway, I made the part myself, but this still pisses me off. Maybe they will listen to you, it seems I can drop dead, in their sight.
