As some of you know, earlier this year I found my first hot rod / drag car that I built. It was a 1974 Maverick, Boss 351, top loader, 9" with a 4.56 and a detroit locker. I sold after I got married in 1976. It had 2500 miles when I sold it. After looking for 35 years, I found it and brought it home. It now has 4900 miles, and is in process of being restored.
This weekend, I was able to accomplish another dream. I started working in a Ford dealer as a mechanic right out of high school. Boss 302 Mustangs were still under warranty, and I fell in love with them. A wife, kids, and life kept me from owning one. When I was at GM it would have been hard to drive a Mustang, so I waited. Now that I work at Lingenfelter, that issue is gone.
Ken Lingenfelter sent me a link to the Mecum auction in Dallas where 3 Boss 302's were for sale. Ken and I flew out Friday morning to attend the auction. The first Boss through was totally restored and sold for $80K. The second Boss was not my first choice of color, Lime Metallic, but the price was right and it is mine.
It is a survivor with 31000 original miles. All number matching, with documation including a Marti report and the original window sticker. It is even a original paint car.
It is currently on a Pilot Transport truck coming back to Michigan. It will be here tomorrow and I will finally get to drive my own Boss 302 Mustang.
I will post pictures when I get it home, but here is the auction link.
