Ford called the Mustang Boss 302 pony car a “ground groover,” adding, “Boss 302 is a pavement-hugging, corner-stopping, flat-riding, curve clinging road lover.” Featured on AutoHunter is one such 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302. It is being sold by a dealer in Gladstone, Oregon, with the auction ending on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at 12:45 p.m. (MST).
According to the selling dealer, Affordable Classics, the car has had just one owner for about the last 50 years. The body was repainted in 2015, and exterior features include a chin spoiler, chrome bumpers, Boss 302 striping, sport side mirrors, and rear window louvers. The 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels are shod in 235/60 Toyo tires. Based on the photos—including those of the undercarriage—this Boss has been loved and preserved throughout life.
One of the most interesting dimensions of classic car history is classic dealership history. Some of our readers may remember a story I wrote about a Chevrolet dealership in Utah that was in operation in the mid-1950s. The Marti Report included in the listing for this Mustang summarizes the details on the car’s configuration and its earliest days. It was first delivered to Valley Ford Sales in Yakima, Washington. That same dealership is still in operation 55 years later, and it even remains at the same street address. One treasure I found during a dive into the dealership’s history was a period photograph taken during the 1970s—check it out, complete with Boss Mustangs out front.
Back to the Marti Report, we see that this Boss’ original option list included the Convenience Group, belted white-letter tires, power steering, an AM radio, and deluxe seat belts. The car was manufactured at the Dearborn plant “on time”/as scheduled on Tuesday, January 27, 1970. Things must have been running efficiently that week! The car was one of 2,812 units manufactured with its paint and trim codes for the 1970 Mustang SportsRoof.
Under the hood is a 290-horsepower G-code 302ci-4V V8 that uses the car’s original block, four-barrel carburetor, and dual-point distributor. A four-speed wide-ratio manual transmission and 3.50 conventional rear axle send power to the rear. Finally, power-assisted front disc brakes help bring the car to a reasonable and prudent speeds after spirited drives.
Wouldn’t it be fun to take this pony car back to Valley Ford—55 years later—to see what kind of reactions it would evoke?
