Ford Mustang Boss 302 experts Bob Perkins, Jeff Speegle and Tom Champagne were consulted during the restoration process of this car. The car was signed by Lawrence Kiyoshi “Larry” Shinoda, who designed the Boss 302. Shinoda also signed a judging sheet and copy of the Lois Eminger report, and took a photo with this car at a MCA Grand National show. The original manual was signed by Rufus Parnell “Parnelli” Jones, and he took a photo with this car at Ford's 100th Anniversary at the Ford World Headquarters. This car was featured in Mustang Illustrated magazine twice. All of these items are included. As indicated on the Deluxe Marti Report, this 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 was built on May 14, 1970, at the Dearborn factory and was ordered with the following options: yellow paint, Black Rhino/Corinthian vinyl bucket seats, rear deck spoiler, 4-speed close-ratio manual transmission, 3.50 Traction-Lok differential, F60x15 belted tires with raised white letters, console, power steering, AM radio and tachometer.

This car has had eight owners over its lifetime, with only three since 1994. In 1995, this car was treated to a nut-and-bolt show-quality restoration. Once completed, it was taken to car shows that included the MCA Grand National show in Valley Forge, PA. The judging sheet, photos and magazines document this information. In 2012, it was purchased by its last owner, who decided to take the car to a higher level, so he methodically re-restored it. This car has a ton of correct parts throughout. The exterior body is very straight with great gaps throughout. It was finished in its original yellow paint color with black accents. The paint is show-quality throughout. All of the glass in is excellent condition. It retains an original hood trim piece. The original front and rear bumpers were rechromed. The car sits on brand-new reproduction 15-inch wheels and Goodyear Polyglas GT F60x15 tires with raised white letters. An extra set of reproduction 15-inch wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A 235-60-15 tires are included. The black interior is in beautiful condition and still retains a lot of originality, including the headliner, dash, gauges, steering wheel, Hurst shifter, door panels and rear seats. The front seats were redone and the carpeting was replaced. A custom stereo system with remote control was hidden under the dash. The trunk compartment is beautifully restored with the spare saver and jack equipment. The engine compartment is extremely correct and highly detailed throughout. The car is powered by the original matching-numbers Boss 302 V8 engine. The engine was rebuilt and runs excellent. It has many correct items, such as factory smog equipment, carburetor, rev limiter, fuel pump, PCV valve, motor mounts, exhaust header bolts, power steering unit and master cylinder. The engine is coupled to the original matching-numbers 4-speed close-ratio manual transmission and correct nodular 3.50 Traction-Lok differential rear end. The undercarriage is also extremely correct and highly detailed. When the car was being re-restored, the original batch paint was found on the floors and was scanned so it could be painted exactly like it was originally. It also has many correct items, such as the gas tank, steering components, suspension system and braking system.
