Description
Restored 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Tribute | Stroked 302, 5-Speed, Coilover Suspension, 5k Miles
This 1970 Ford Mustang SportsRoof is a well-executed Boss 302 tribute that blends aggressive classic styling with modern mechanical upgrades. Originally delivered from the factory as a six-cylinder, automatic-equipped Mustang, it was comprehensively reimagined by a previous owner into a performance-focused build inspired by the legendary Boss 302. The transformation included a stroked 302ci V8 with aluminum heads, a BorgWarner 5-speed manual transmission, rack and pinion steering, and a coilover strut front suspension—delivering a substantially more engaging driving experience than its original configuration.
The car has traveled just 5,000 miles since the restoration, and it presents in striking condition with straight bodywork, a rust-free undercarriage, and a high-quality respray in Grabber Blue—a nod to the iconic Boss 302 factory color palette. This Mustang is now being offered as a turn-key restomod that captures the style of the original while delivering upgraded performance and reliability.
Exterior
This 1970 Mustang wears a vibrant coat of Grabber Blue, applied during the restoration and presenting with an even, glossy finish throughout. The bodywork is described as straight and rust-free, with tight panel gaps and excellent alignment. The black Boss 302-style graphics—including the hockey stick stripes and rear decklid spoiler—add visual drama and authenticity to the build. The car rides on period-correct Magnum 500-style wheels wrapped in modern performance rubber, giving it a muscular stance without sacrificing drivability.
Chrome bumpers, polished trim, and blacked-out front grille components appear clean and well-fitted. The overall exterior presentation blends the aggressive factory cues of the Boss with tasteful upgrades and restoration-level polish.
Interior
The cabin has been restored to reflect a clean, factory-inspired look, with black vinyl bucket seats, matching door panels, and a sport-style three-spoke steering wheel. A modern Hurst-style shifter controls the 5-speed transmission, giving a period-correct feel while hinting at the mechanical upgrades underneath. Instrumentation is clean and legible, and the dash and trim appear in excellent condition.
Everything from the carpet to the headliner reflects care during the build process, with light signs of use in line with the 5,000 miles since completion.
Engine & Drivetrain
At the heart of the build is a stroked 302ci V8 fitted with aluminum heads, delivering significantly more horsepower and torque than the original Boss 302 factory specs. The engine breathes through performance headers and an upgraded intake, with a purposeful idle and a throaty exhaust note that underscores the car’s performance intent.
Paired with a BorgWarner 5-speed manual gearbox, the drivetrain delivers a modern driving experience with confident acceleration and smooth cruising ability. The rear end retains a factory-style layout, while up front the suspension has been reengineered with coilovers and a strut-conversion kit, allowing for tighter handling and improved ride quality. A rack and pinion steering system further sharpens the car’s road feel, enhancing drivability and precision.
Undercarriage & Chassis
The underbody appears solid and clean, showing evidence of a thorough restoration. The suspension components, steering gear, and subframes all reflect quality assembly and upgraded components. Braking is responsive, and the car tracks straight, offering a confidence-inspiring ride.
Driving Experience
This Boss 302 tribute offers the best of both worlds: classic Mustang fastback styling paired with modernized performance and handling. The stroked 302 pulls with enthusiasm, and the 5-speed gearbox offers flexibility for both backroad fun and highway cruising. Thanks to the rack and pinion steering and upgraded suspension, it feels far more composed and agile than a stock 1970 Mustang, all while maintaining its muscle car character.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy it on the road or take it to weekend shows, this tribute blends iconic looks with mechanical enhancements that make it a joy to drive and own.
