If you ask the Internet, you'll learn that Boomers love muscle cars more than Millennials, especially when it comes to classic models, obviously thanks to being more familiar with these American icons. However, enthusiasts who fall into the latter category have a special way of dealing with iconic muscle labels, and we're talking restomod projects here. Case in point with this digital build, which revolves around a Ford Mustang Boss 302.
Back in the late 1960s, Trans-Am racing was on everybody's lips, and with the rule book mandating road-going homologation specials for the racers, Ford complied and released the 1969 Mustang Boss 302. This nameplate was only offered for two model years and we're looking at the 1970 version now.
The rules limited displacement to 305 cubic inches (5.0 liters), with the road-going car's output thus sitting at 290 hp. However, there seems to be a consensus regarding the conservative nature of the pony's muscle number.
If you were into things with four wheels, the list of standard goodies fitted to the Boss 302 would put a massive smile on your face. That's because we're talking about a four-speed manual, front disc brakes, strengthened shock towers, meatier sway bars, and other things.
Returning to the quick pixel exercise that takes center stage, for now, this manages to achieve a noticeable appearance transformation for limited investment. However, the fresh look of the car, which comes courtesy of digital artist Kalim Oozeear, is a guaranteed opinion splitter (no aero pun intended).
Zooming in on the Blue Oval machine, we'll notice this has been brought so close to the road that you'd have trouble trying to stick your shoe in between the two.
Then we have the wheels, which borrow quite a few styling cues from the classic steelie look. Nevertheless, those lips are generous enough to turn heads on their own.
