2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Why This Car Is Special We have a 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 here at Skyway Classics that has almost a sacred name for Ford enthusiasts. Ford hasn't used the name Boss 302 since way back in 1970 when the original left production. And Ford hasn't built a Boss Mustang of any sort since the 1971 Boss 351. Until, that is, the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 we have for sale. Built around a fortified version of the Mustang GT's new 5.0-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 that can run way to 7,500 rpm with 440 horsepower. The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 was (by factory rating) the most powerful Mustang Ford had ever sold without forced induction.

It has a new set of cylinder heads that was developed with CNC-machined ports that allow better breathing at high rpm. More aggressive camshafts were also fitted to take advantage of the increased air flow. The valvetrain components were lightened to better survive those higher engine speeds and new sodium-filled exhaust valves dissipate heat more effectively. New forged aluminum pistons and sinter-forged steel connecting rods were also added to solidify this 302's bottom end. The more obvious change from the outside is the adoption of a new short-runner composite intake manifold sitting in the valley between the cylinder heads. Ours looks as new and wait till you hear it! Interior The changes to the new Boss 302 interior were more extensive. In the drivers seat, you certainly feel like the boss, as tooling around town youd think you were driving a Ferrari by all of the looks and thumbs up that you get. It has Recaro Boss 302 embossed tan bucket seats, tan carpeting and Boss 302 floor mats, all power accessories, air, stereo radio, matching rear seat, 6-speed floor shifter, console, and like the engine, looks as new. Exterior From its old school side stripes to the black power bulge hood, the look is total nostalgia. Ours has a blacked out roof panel and Competition Orange paint job that only adds to the BOSS 302 heritage inspired look. From the front the look is more modern, but also very mean, with a large blacked-out grill, with blocked off fog lights and a lower apron with attached splitter. Out back theres a rear spoiler and black tail panel between the vertical tail lights with sequential turn signals. The Boss rides on black 19-inch wheels wearing Michelin performance black sidewall tires and Brembo dick brakes also but about the sweetest twist in the looks is the blocked-off holes for the GT's driving lights. It looks tough and race-like. Naturally, all Boss 302s get a heavily revised suspension. The stiffer springs result in a slightly lower ride height (11mm in front, 1mm in back) while firmer bushings and a thicker rear sway bar further stiffen the ride. Five-way-adjustable dampers are also part of the package, along with an adjustable electric steering box. Conclusion The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 we have here at Skyway Class
