Why is the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 a LEGENDARY muscle car BUY? 

My dad had one of these beast. Took it out once with out asking him....that wasn’t a pleasant day lol

Beautiful restoration. No way this video is going to get a dislike. Thank you Joe!!

My old man had a grabber green 1970 boss 302 with all the options, shaker hood, rear Window slats the smaller steering wheel, and it has 24k miles original, even still has the 49 year old bias ply polyglass gt tires, I love that car so much and it’s never gonna leave my family

I believe a more important function of the front air dam was to keep the amount of air flowing under the car down, thus keeping the front of the car from lifting at speed. Ford learned a lot about this from the GT40 program; the early versions were acting like airfoils and threatening to take off!

Now that's a Legendary Mustang and I love it specially the seats they look comfortable like sofas. Thanks Raiti's Rides😀👍

Working overtime Mr. Raiti. I loved these cars when I was a kid. 😍

Didn't have a Mustang but my first car build was a 68 Galaxy 500 and I put a Boss 302 in her. To this day she was the fastest car I ever owned she would literally fly. Going flat out she would rock up to 140/150 mph before I would be forced to let off. That was the point air under her would start making her loose and start to float. The sound of that engine was only surpassed by one other engine. The Merlin Rolls Royce that was used in the Other Mustang the P51

Love love love this Boss 302!!! super cool car to bring to the channel Joe, another great video Joe and Tom thank you!!

That is one incredible historic automobile. I remember the Boss 302 from when I was a kid. It was up there with that Charger next door as one of my top 5 loves. That owner is very lucky!! Thnx Joe

This car is going to be my first car when I can drive

Who has seen a Boss 302 cylinder head off the car to note the size of the ports? HUGE!

Calypso Coral was the name of the color my godfather had two 60s Shelby's, 66 with a 289 and a 68 with a 351. I got a ride in that 68 when I was about 12 years old, and my love for the Mustang was off and running!

I own a 2018 Mustang GT which I very modified performance and cosmetics a I'm a 27 year old man and Mustangs are my absolute absolute favorite cars the old one's like this one the Boss302 or the 1973 Mach1 which was used in my favorite car movie 1974 gone in 60 seconds are epic cars great video by the way man.

Great video Joe 👍🏻👍🏻 Boss 302 is one of my all time favorite mustangs. That and the Boss 9. You rock brother 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Dang the rear end of this old 70's car looks more like the 2011-2014 rear ends.

New to your channel. It is great. Love to see more classic muscle cars like the Boss 302.

Always love to see mustangs on this channel. Keep up the great content!!!

These cars were chevy eaters, know a guy who owned a 70 grabber orange boss 302 and raced everything Z28,s BB chevy and mopars ,Beat them.all. His 302 was so quick off the line he always got a huge lead and by the 1/ 8 mile it was all over. 4.30 Posi rearend , toploader and that engine was one bad ass combo.Best time was a 12.10 on Stickey Mickey's,

Wow more beautiful cars! I saw a 2012 boss laguna seca today and had to stop to take a look, first time i see one and then i see this video 🤤.. as always thank you for sharing these masterpieces of cars and thank your camera man for being there recording for us as well!

Thanks for a great review Raiti! My dad had this exact car; I really want to surprise him with this exact Calypso Coral-color mustang. 4-speed hurst shifter....everything. My mind is spinning now.. :)

Another great video! I'm old enough to remember all those awesome vintage cars, but still you at heart now to appreciate the new ones. I actually prefer the new cars, but still have memories, and appreciate the old ones, even some of the turkeys. They were all part of the culture that added color. This Boss 493 was s classuc, like the Camaros, Firebirds, Gtos, like the Red Goat with the weird fender decals, the Buick GSX, and the Mopars like the Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth offerings. And yes, you can forget the awesome AMC Gremlin, Pacer, and Matador. Lol My dad bought me a big metal mustang bump and go car that would not fall off the table edges. A real life car like that would be great for the Flat Earthers today. :D My dad had lots of older cars before I was born, but had a 57 Chevy my older brother got to drive, and a big 59 Buick LeSabre like the old Caddies with the big fin fenders and cone taillights. That was a cruiser. I later got to use my mom's 73 Buick LeSabre 2 Dr with the 455 engine. Not a GSX, but that car had power! Later I got to drive my dad's Pontiac Ventura 2 Dr. Hatchback, essentially a Chevy Nova. My first car was a fully loaded 77 Buick Regal S/R two door with a somewhat anemic 350 during the gas guzzler era, but it was the last if the big GM G body two doors, like the Monte Carlo, Olds Cutlass, Pontiac GP. Before they downsized those popular cars the next year. My car had the GEX chrome 15" rally wheel U shaped Shifter console and Bucket Seats. I got a high powered bi amp Sanyo AM/FM/8 Track with Jensen Triaxial 6x9" rear speakers. I flipped the Air Cleaner cover to get that loud intake sound until my friend later helped me put in an aftermarket 4 barrel carb, and higher profile 4" chrome open air filter. It had the full sport suspension, so it handled pretty good. I later got an 81 Buick Regal 2 door Sport Coupe, the predecessor for my 84 Buick GN. Then I had my 2000 silver Chevy Impala LS trunk monkey special, and that 2006 Impala SS with the 5.3 V8 and Flowmaster mufflers, before I got my 2011 Cruz RS. Remember that Olds 442 with the Hurst Lightning triple shifters? Lol Good times. Now, I am looking at getting car brands and models I would never imagined back then.. Wouldn't bit be great if you could get any car or vehicle from 1960 to now, brand new, however it was offered with today? With parts and service availability if today's cars? I wonder what everyone would choose? I would probably get my old 84 GN with the nicer interior, and all the aftermarket parts available for it.

Now that's true American muscle

Love the 60’s and 70’s era- Great job Joe!

What an epic classic car. Great video Joe, 👍👌

What a nice looking Boss 302 - Thanks great review....

That's the key you restore the car you enjoy it and you maintain it good for him no trailer Queen

Yesss! I like this! Also, you are right Raiti, I have a ‘12 GT and you can just see the original Mustang in every part of the design language. I feel like every year of the Mustang is a love letter to the original. My GT is red as well and I just saw my car the whole time as you were showing this beauty. As always, great vids my friend. Keep it up! This is why I sub. 🙂

Best of the breed' most beautiful musclecar design ever conceived. No camaro ' Cuda or roadrunner ever came close .

Wow! A true legend and, as you say, easy to see influences on the latest Mustangs. That's just one reason why I love 'em.....that DNA has been strong for almost 55 years!

Now your talking Joe,👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Love muscle cars. Keep em coming 💪💪💪

I love that car man,Keep up the good work man

What's not to like....I'm a sucker for old school speed.....13 second ET"S were the norm in the 70's for factory showroom muscle cars...The drag strips were full of them... Big heavy Beasts...lots of HP.....

FYI Mr. Raiti, the front "spoiler" is NOT for cooling the engine. It is there to reduce the amount of wind drag by diverting the turbulent air flowing under the car, thereby increasing the speed of the car. Hence the name "spoiler". Also, the " shaker" scoop was never used on the actual Trans-Am racing cars. When Parnelli Jones was piloting these Mustangs, he was road racing NOT drag racing, no need for ram air scoop!

Hey Joe! Weren't those mustangs beautiful? One of the best classics ever. Keep that camera rolling Big Guns! Love it.

Two thumbs up Joe! Love those mustangs.

Timeless beauty

Love your videos, my friend. I hope you'll find a '71 Boss or '73 Mach 1 to review, in your travels. Cheers!

Now you are cooking with 🔥 Wow that is a beast of a car

Love it man!

That "orange" color Raiti was talking about is "calypso coral ". Fyi, that front "spoiler" is designed not so much for cooling, but to lessen "air turbulence" under the car to a minimum so that there is less air drag to deal with at high speeds.

One of my favourite cars of the seventies

Good presentation I will say I did catch this this particular example has a full shaker hood complete with hood pins my dad bought one of these cars new in 1970 his had the hood pins and it was interesting to watch the hood shake at idle hence the term Shaker Hood very very nice example

super nice !

Great video. I love the connection between the old and new mustang. Does Tom have a RU-vid channel for powerlifting?

Now that is a great Ride!! Brings back memories .Tell me you doing that Dodge charger next right 🐬🐬

Hey Joe Gotta Love the Classic Boss 302 mustang. Believe it or not the Shaker hood was an option for 1970 only ..Not even offered for the 69 Boss 302. I Happen to Own the Best of both worlds...1969 Mach 1 with a Very rare D1ZX BOSS 351 Cleveland Backed by a Super Street 5 speed..You can find the Interview on Mustang Connections.

Front spoiler does not shove air into the radiator, its mounted in front of the radiator. Its meant to put down force on the front end.

I want a 1969 or 70 Mustang Boss 302 but I can't afford one 😭

Love that 70 boss mustang

your the man Raiti.

What a beauty 💕😍

Can't believe you didn't even show us that Chevelle.

Great video! What do you think of my build?

I believe it was called a "shaker scoop", not shaker hood. It was the scoop, after all, that did the shaking, not the hood. Just a point. I'm a bit surprised that you didn't comment on the greatly understated horsepower by the manufacturer - Ford rated it at 290 HP. This by the way was common practice by GM and Chrysler too, as a result of both government pressure and the insurance companies, to try to reel in the horsepower wars between makers. I have read actual output was closer to 375 HP. In Trans Am racing trim it was around 430 HP.

Is there anything that you don't "Love" about any car? Spoiler is front wasn't for cooling, it was for down force. Trans Am racers didn't use the shaker hood. I owned a 69 Boss 302 new and later in life a 70 Boss 302. Great cars.

Dude I Love This Car. One Day I'd Really Wish To Buy One Of These. But it is very expensive in the country where I live, about 90 thousand dollars. I live in Turkey. It corresponds to approximately 1 million TL. Really hard.

That's my dream cars

My favorite car racing game has a boss 302, and I love it. ‘Murica!!!!!

Then the motor was used in the cougar....the Eliminator. Drag racing copy Driven by the famous Don Nicolson. For merc...the beginning of the super Stock and funny car era

Your lucky just standing beside one of the most legendary cars in automotive history

*_I llllooooveee this_* [insert car design component here]

Best Mustang of all time,great review keep up showing these types of cars

Wow very nice, next time can you at least start the engine? I wanna hear the sound. Thanks for show us the BOSS 302!

NICE COV....ARE THE STRIPES ON THE HOOD PAINTED?

Geeze Joe. I thought I could throw curve balls. TWO uploads!? My bullet throwing Fountain Pen isn't quite cooled down from the first upload. "Heat" is not my friend. LOL Oh yeah, don't get carried away and start throwing knuckle balls as well. 😍 Okay, have to shoot some bullets now. 1. You mention the Trams Am Series/SCCA and that the Javelin was part of it. Not the AMX? 2. So Ford gets the credit for Shaker Hood, not Mopar? 3. I saw the Hurst shifter. Was this from the factory or from the current owner? 4. The name fits this Mustang, it is certainly "BOSS!" Damn, only four bullets. The Fountain Pen jammed. I guess I gotta let her cool down overnight. Lastly, kudos to the owner. You need to keep track of this Mustang, I'd love to see a more in depth review with it on lift and listen to it. These Mustangs did have a sound onto themselves.

That car is pretty that’s My 3rd dream car 1st is the charger

Oh my God talking about Ford is talking about the great History of automotive,starting with the model T,the great contraband of alcohol , thanking Mr. Henry Ford for his cars so good and fast , the GT40 in Le Mans , American car primet winning nothing more and nothing less than Ferrari , Mr. Henry showed him who he was to Mr. Enzo . And then Carroll Shelby with the 350 and 500 , and let's not talk about the Cammer engine , and the F150 with a lot of History , Oh may God l love Ford cars . In my Coutry Argentina there is much rivalry Ford and Chevrolet from 1937 until now, Ford has much more won Championships , ok my friend greetings and very good video .

got one

It's the ultimate classic Mustang... at least in my opinion. '69 and '70 was a great body style/

I Have A Question? What's More Valuable? The 1970 Boss 302 4 Valve With 290 Horsepower? Or The 1970 Mach 1 351 Cleveland 4 Valve 300 Horsepower ?

What the Mopar 318 polysphere could have turned into if it wasn't foolishly discontinued by Chrysler.

Affordable,.....you weren't around back then. You could buy 2 Ford Mavericks for what a fully optioned Boss 302 cost. ($2,000 vs. $4,000)

I have a model of this car in yellow lol

my dream car..too bad i'm broke

American Muscle!

Joe doing 2/day. Doubled in subs from just 3 mo ago!

😮😍

It’s called the “Hockey Stick” stripe.

My dad has one of these rotting (sorta) in our backyard in NC. Engine is still great, body is meh, and interior is shit. He’s done some work on it but I’m not into cars so I couldn’t say. But he’s had quadruple bypass. He needs to sell!!

Someone selling a 1970 ford Mustang project car on eBay for $1675 to bad I don’t live in Massachusetts😔😔😔

The best model Mustang Mach I .¿What Prize?.........👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I think gingers are gorgeous

This is an acquired taste, but the history behind the car is amazing. I appreciate this car heaps more. PS: tell us a little more about Tom and your crew. We want to know who's part of the "family"?

428 Cobra Jet. Boss 429.

The chin spoiler or "front air dam" as you call it is for increasing downforce , any other benefit is coincidental !

Pay the cost to be the BOSS..

400HP? 5.0L?

Is the 007 car?

I have mixed feelings about muscle cars from that era. Modern muscle has made old muscle cars obsolete in nearly every category. If it wasn't for the ease of repair and timeless styling, this era would be forgotten. Hopefully kids growing up in the age of Teslas, ZR1s, and Hellcats will continue to cherish our heritage.

400??

I had 68 Mustang with the 289 ci cobra jet engine . the boss 302 years came out later it really didn’t make much difference as far as power I,used to beat the boss 302‘s all the time!

Javelin ? No ! AMX Was the high performance model

They were actually so good that the Camaros only one (For one year) by cheating. They acid dipped bodies to make them lighter.

Legendary Pony car! The Mustang is Not classified as a Muscle car. Brief research will show they have always been Pony cars doesn’t Matter who’s ego it hurts 😂 it’s a Fact. Not a Muscle car. Blow me keyboard warriors

Pony car.

I had to stop watching. My guy , do a little research before you just start speaking on a car you clearly know nothing about. All of these friggin people on youtube trying to turna dime and they dont care of whats coming out of their mouth is accurate or not.... Annoying doesnt describe it....
