This 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 in Grabber Blue Just Sold for $112,000

You also can’t put a price on just how much “street cred” you’ll be earning simply by parking a Boss 302 Mustang in your driveway. Car enthusiasts already know the story of the Boss 302 – born because Ford needed to comply with Trans Am rules, which meant homologating this Mustang for the road so that the engine could be used for racing.

Now, if you're trying to sell your Boss 302 Mustang for as much money as possible, making sure the car is super clean goes a long way toward your goal. Being a numbers-matching vehicle helps too, obviously. With us so far? Good, because this 1970 Boss 302 4-speed model just sold for $112,000 and as you can see, it’s a real stunner.

According to the buyer, the car will be shipped to Massachusetts where it will spend its days inside a heated garage, next to a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. That’s some real nice company to keep.

This Mustang is finished in Grabber Blue and comes with all the necessary Boss 302 goodies – the front spoiler, hockey stick stripes, dual side mirrors, rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, plus 15” wheels with full covers and F60-15 reproduction Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. Meanwhile, interior highlights include the high black bucket seats and rear bench (upholstered in white vinyl), an AM radio, floor-mounted center console, two-spoke steering wheel, and a Hurst shifter.

The cabin was reupholstered under previous ownership, and it looks about as good as it did back when this baby was brand new.

Underneath the hood, there’s a 302 ci V8 engine with a 290-horsepower factory rating. Everything gets sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox and a Traction-Lok differential with a W-code 4.30:1 gearing.

Unlike a lot of other similar-looking Mustangs, this here is a true Boss 302 – it wasn’t rebuilt to look like one. What’s cool is that the original window sticker, build sheet, dealer invoice and a Marti Report were all included in the sale and there’s a whole bit about why people need Mustangs in their lives, courtesy of Ford’s marketing team from way back when.

There’s a Mustang for everyone, is what they used to say, while adding that “if you’re on the move, then Mach I is for you; it’s hot, heady and rarin’ to go. If you’ve already arrived, then Grande is your thing. It’s loaded with luxury from its landau roof down to its treads. And if you’re just starting out, the ever-popular Hardtop is the easiest Mustang of all to own. And there’s lots more where Mustang came from. More action models, for instance, like the Boss 302.”

It’s safe to say that the latter remains one of the all-time most desirable American classics ever made.
