I have often been asked what are some things to look for when you are looking at buying a Boss 302 Mustang, so I decided to go ahead and make a video on the things I would want and would have wanted to know before I bought my car thinking I just bought a tuned Coyote. This is not an all encompassing list but it is 5 of the things I see most frequently discussed on the Boss owners pages. I hope you enjoy, let me know what you think below or what you wish I would have talked about and maybe I'll do a followup video. Don't forget to Like and SUBSCRIBE!

This was brought to my attention that the info I found on the Vin number was slightly flawed. Please refer to this reference for the Boss Engine code. mustangattitude.com/mustang/2012vinmatrix.shtml

@VWGTI123 3 года назад

Love any and all 2012 Boss 302 vids. For 2012 Ford produced a total of 4,016 Boss 302 Mustangs. There were 3,249 basic cars and 767 Laguna Seca models. For 2013, production amounted to 4,273 cars, with 3,526 of the street version and 747 Laguna Seca editions. I own from new #2558 P/White with Recaro and Torsen 373 rear / Boss 302 Car Cover / Boss 302 Packet with all documentation / Red and Black Key - Red Key has not been activated - with 9,108 miles. Original Tires/Battery - Baffles removed - adult owned and operated - garaged - has never even seen rain. I don't think I will ever sell it unless necessary - but what is my Car Worth? Would love to know. Any Boss owners out there - please love and treasure these rare mustangs. So many have been lost through mods/attrition. Best to all.

Thanks for watching Thomas, your car sounds great, I wish i had recaros I plan on being buried in mine lol

@skiddlyd.244 5 месяцев назад

You decide to sell yet? I'll buy it.

@TheAutoRanch 3 года назад

Some good pointers! The Trackey is now $450 through Ford Racing. It’s a handheld you use yourself to flash the computer, but you still have to take the car and red key to a Ford dealer for programming, which isn’t included in the $450, so your looking at around $600 all in to get it operable on a car currently without it.

@BrailsfordsRides 3 года назад

Yeah prices have shot up since I bought the car 😄 thanks for the knowledge

@midnight347 Год назад

I plan on getting a boss to sit next to my modified 07 gt500 in the future I am going to modify the boss too. I don't care about the track key at all because I am going to get an actual tune plus other mods. That is the least of my worries. These cars are badass. Prob do a na 500+ rwhp build in an oem+ type fashion and make it even more of a corner carver than what it already is. That way I got the big power big torque gt500 with a gen3r for the straight line stuff and the high revving all motor boss for the twisties that can show alot of these bolt on 10r80 cars what these old s197 can do with the right tweaks and a wheel man behind the wheel aka driver mod haha. Love these cars ❤️

@BrailsfordsRides Год назад

I'm going to ditch my track key when I get a blower. It's the goal for my channel and these bad boys can handle 1k safely as long as you change the OPGs

@mwjscn 3 года назад

The VIN including P8C doesn't signify a Boss 302. P8C is the designation for a V8 coupe, which also covers all the normal GTs. What you should be looking for is a 'U' after the P8C, which DOES signify a Boss 302. A 'P8CF' would be a normal coupe GT.

@BrailsfordsRides 3 года назад

Interesting ill have to dig into it more I thought I found that info from CJ Pony parts so ill look again and make an edit in the description thanks for the knowledge my friend, we are all just trying to help others out and im still learning every day

@BrailsfordsRides 3 года назад

This is where I found the decoder www.mustangspecs.com/2012-mustang-vin/

@mwjscn 3 года назад

@@BrailsfordsRides Yeah, and you see how 'P8C' is listed twice, both for Coupe GTs and the Boss 302? The decoder also has bad information regarding the engine code. Look at your own VIN, this decoder doesn't cover the 'U' engine code. Does your car not exist? This is a much better decoder: mustangattitude.com/mustang/2012vinmatrix.shtml

Any advantages with a 13-14 boss over a 11-12? I personally like the look of the 11-12’s more

@BrailsfordsRides 4 месяца назад

So they only made bosses in 12 and 13 unless you can source a Boss 302R or 302S built for racing from 14. But I get what you are asking, the only advantage is the track apps. I personally prefer the 12 front end and the 13 rear hence why I changed to 13 tail lights

@BrailsfordsRides 2 года назад

@@FE428Power ill reply fully in a bit, or ill be live tonight and can answer

@BrailsfordsRides 2 года назад

@@FE428Power MT82s are hit or miss, either you get a good one or you get a dud. The 5th gear is known for getting overpowered and basically turned into a neutral... at 66k miles id want a thorough test drive. Mine is at 63k and drives great and most boas owners take care of their toys but you don't want to end up with a pricey repair bill. The MY82 is also known for its lockout issues, but there are mods you can do to make it better. I installed a braided clutch line because the stock would deform under heat and you'd lose pedal. The MGW race spec short throw is on my car and I've never been locked out. Some people also put a better clutch in but mine is OEM at 63k and going. I hope this helps, of you need anything else let me know.

It wont save the gear however you won't miss shifts at 7.5-7.8k rpm and unintentionally grind the gears. Its more of a preventative measure imo
