Ford's resurrection of the legendary Boss 302 Mustang is documented in a 160 page hardcover book dedicated to its return. This "must have" book is written by Donald Farr, a longtime Mustang Monthly Magazine staff member and author of the Mustang Boss 302: Ford Trans-Am Pony Car. Surely this will a be collector's item for any Mustang Enthusiast, it can be ordered at Amazon.com for $19.80.
Book Description:
Of the legendary names in the history of the Ford Mustang, one stands apart: BOSS. Originally created to homologate the new Boss 302 engine and option package for SCCA Trans-Am racing, the Mustang Boss 302 debuted for the 1969 model year and was built in limited numbers for the street. Designed by legendary Larry Shinoda, the Boss cars were easily distinguished from their less potent stablemates by their race-bred powerplants, standard spoilers, and bold graphics.
With no small amount of fanfare today, Ford is paying homage to its performance past with the reintroduction of the 5.0-liter V-8 in the Mustang GT. Though no longer the iron-block, pushrod Windsor engine of yore, Ford's newest iteration of a DOHC, modular V-8 is the most potent base Mustang GT motor yet, topping 400 horsepower.
For the 2012 model year, Ford is at long last reviving the most revered of all Mustang models: BOSS. With a new racing counterpart and a modern street version that makes more than 440 horsepower, the Boss is truly back!
