Speaking of rare,I know its off topic, but did ford have a jl8 type set up for the Boss 302s? I ran into a guy years ago that said he had a factory 4 wheel disc brake Boss 302.Was this a factory option? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Beautiful boss! Why does the Marti report say its white? Can you tell me what the difference is between a deluxe Marti report and an elite Marti report?

So we know there is at least one other car like mine..Id love to see pics of it when you take it out of hibernation. My car has 49,000 miles on it and the drivetrain has never been out or apart.

Don, your car is really perfectly optioned for a '70 Boss 302. Most get restored like yours, but few were optioned that way originally (just like all '69 Z's get restored with cowl hood and spoilers, so it goes with '70 Boss 302's all getting Shakers and Sport Slats). The power steering is a great option to have, as manual steering Boss 302's are even harder to steer than Camaros of the era. Boss 302's with original motors, much less ones that have never been out, are a rare thing as well, since they were afflicted with those faulty pistons that were prone to cracking. Hopefully the skirts on yours are all intact. The Tacoma car is pretty much untouched as well, but the motor was removed to replace those pistons to help ensure it remained numbers-matching in the future.

Interesting how its loaded up, but they didn't spec out Magnum 500's. Obviously the original purchasers had their eyes on some aftermarket mags.....

no Ford did not offer a 4 wheel disc JL8 type set up unfortunately.

This Boss has the interior Decor group.
Vermillion Spectrum Cloth and Corinthian Vinyl Buckets Seats code CE on the door sticker.
