1970 would be the Boss Mustang’s second year as part of FoMoCo’s lineup. Built to compete with Chevrolet’s Camaro Z/28 and the Sports Car Club of America’s Trans-Am racing series, the Boss 302 was Dearborn’s performance machine, proving that less (cubic inches) is more. The Boss 302 included a modified 302-cid V8 that produced 290 hp in addition to a handling suspension, F60×15 tires, and quicker steering. In order to meet the SCCA requirement for racing a production car, at least 6,500 Boss 302s had to be built. Ford cranked out 7,013 over two years, 6,319 of which were 1970 models.
According to road tests in Car & Driver, the Boss 302 completed the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds at 93.4 mph. In Trans-Am tune, the Boss 302 would win the Manufacturer’s Championship for Ford in 1970, and in production guise, it received new exterior stripes and “Grabber” colors like this example which is painted Grabber Blue.
Engines benefited from smaller valves to improve drivability while horsepower remained the same at 290.
