2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302
Mustang engineers must take solace in the fact that after they've manufactured the perfect car in the moment, a large contingent of aftermarket supplies of go faster parts and accessories exists for new owners. Perhaps solace is the wrong word? Anyway, what starts off as a powerful, fast, and well tuned car can be taken to near limitless levels of performance with some skillful additions and frankly, the budget to match. The sky's the limit for Mustangs which is why they continue to evolve and appeal to consumers who like fast factory cars, and a percentage of that fan base that likes to use Ford's engineering as merely a starting point. Try that with your Camry!
For consignment, a 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 with a title verified 8,598 actual miles and a long list of modifications that make it faster, handle better, and breathe easier than your average Boss 302. Only subtle changes to the outside mean this is a wolf in sheep's clothing and that clothing is mighty fine!

Exterior
In our time consigning classic cars, we've seen just about every shade of Boss 302, and there's something that stands out about Performance White with the black stripe package. It glistens like a Storm Trooper on wheels and looks just as intimidating. Those stripes, of course, consist of the hood hump coverage and the C-stripe on the side that's as dynamic as the Nike "whoosh". Other black accents include the roof with matte stripes, the Cobra grille, front splitter, rear wing, and glossy 19-inch wheels. Under the big rear wing is a rear fascia that is decidedly understated and if you blink, you might wonder how a GT got by your so quick, but when you catch up at the next red light, you'll note the billboard C-stripe on the side, and the sound, but more on that later! This pampered pony car shows no exterior flaws.
Interior
The Boss interior includes the embroidered Recaro seat, race ready, and featuring ribbed inserts and bold bolstering. The stitched pattern is reflected in the door panel surrounded by charcoal formed plastic that flows to the back walls where supportive 2+2 seating resides. The stitched leather and Alcantara steering wheel is robust and not overloaded with thumb controls, fronting a surprising simple gauge cluster and clean, efficient center stack with an AM/FM/CD player and climate controls. Slide down to the shifter and you'll find a race spec short throw shifter with MGW shifter ball grip. Down on the floor, all factory here with charcoal carpet and a foam backed headliner looms cleanly above. The trunk is clean and standard too, except for a Cool Tech tower brace that spans the space behind the seats.
Drivetrain
The heart of the beast is the 5.0 liter RoadRunner V8, originally rated at 444 horsepower, this one possessing some massaging compliments of a cammed idle tune by CJ Pony Parts and AirRaid cold air intake with carbon fiber tube. An Exedy clutch and flywheel enhance the MT82 6-speed manual transmission which sends power to rear via a Shelby 5.0 aluminum driveshaft with a front loop on its way to the Ford 8.8" rear with 3.73 gears and TracLoc. Power disc brakes are standard here, and found on all four wheels.
Undercarriage
Very clean underneath but the real story are the mods. The exhaust system consists of a Corsa Xtreme stainless system, a Boss 302 Maxflow H-pipe by MRT Engineered Performance, and Quick Time electric cutouts with wireless remote tied into the Boss' infamous quad exhaust configuration. It looks mighty impressive and there are no cats anywhere insight. Suspension includes KW Suspension Automotive 2 way adjustable competition KW-Variant 3 shocks, Strano Performance caster camber plates, and the car's been lowered 1.25". That's all added to the standard equipment that includes Macpherson struts in front and 3-link with coil springs and a panhard bar in back.
Drive-Ability
A turn of the key turns this car that's as pure as driven snow into a torrent of sound that would make a tornado cower in fear. It's streetable at idle but once the revs climb, the decibels do too, to nearly racecar levels without being offensive to the ears as a Harley might be. All of that exhalation frees up the motor to grab air and make horsepower and the well designed cabin has a history of acceptable comfort and practicality. Handling is as you might expect, exceptional. As a car with so few miles and professionally installed modifications, all functional items worked as expected. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
There are Boss Mustangs, and then there's the Boss' Boss and this is it. If Ford built this special edition with the stout features this car now possesses, it would have approached $60,000 in 2012 and back then, would have knocked many potential buyers out of the running. Here's performance on top of performance in an understated but still aggressive shell. It is a ton of car for the money and essentially a one of a kind Boss. Are you ready to step into its office?
