The newest Mustang Monthly magazine has a 4 page article on the 1971 Boss 302 that Ford built. History of the Boss has now changed.

Wasn't it a prototype car i seen the pictures when they made it looked just like the boss 351 besides where it said 302.

I found this Boss Mustang 35th Anniversary - The History Of - Mustang and Fords Magazine

The photo you have is one that had a rear spoiler. The Boss featured in MM never had a spoiler and is yellow.

I have thought of cloning a boss 351 but a boss 302 might mess with some people lol.

Nice find andy i wonder if hes gonna put the right engine in it make it a true boss 302 again.

Hard to say what to do here. The car is "one-of-one" with the "H" code and toploader 4-speed that wasn't offered that year. AND, it is the matching motor, as sold.

Yet, the Boss 302 would be the "correct" motor "as built" by Ford. I'd love to have the car as the only 1971 Boss 302 and "the last Boss 302" ever built by Ford.

Hmmmm.....though the trend is to leave an antiquity, or "barn-find" alone. This car does have a lot of original historical "markings" that have not been destroyed. I give up. This is what I'm dealing with.

Its a tough call i have thought of cloning the 71 boss 302 but thats it its a clone i wouldn't be killing a one of one made car.Id clean the car up the best i could and put it in a museum and hang on to it.The price on it can only go up and its rarer then a Shelby or anything else people go after.
