Way back in 1969 a Calypso Coral Boss 302 turned the corner at an intersection. That color is stunning in the daylight. A few years later I bought a 1970 Boss 302, medium metallic blue, 0F02G125461
So glad to hear you’re going to drive it. And enjoy it!. Restore it how you want it. Screw what everybody else is trying to tell you.Soooo tired of all these over restored muscle cars. Trailer queens and museum pieces. We need to see more of them on the road. Not inside a glass box!
My brother spent the summer of 1970 working for Dearborn Steel Tubing. They were contracted to Ford to take their cars around the country and Canada to display them at a traveling Ice Capades show that even did Toronto and Vancouver. He got to drive some seriously hot cars that summer. I've resented him ever since. 😅
OMGosh, regarding the Boss 429: I can't imagine trying to stuff an engine that was 5.50"(14.0cm) wider then the Boss 302 & 3.00"(7.6cm) wider then the 427FE into the Mustang engine bay w/ those ridiculous sheetmetal shock towers. Ford should've bit the bullet & made a front suspension similar to what GM did w/ the Camaro/ Firebird. There was room to work in w/ their 427/454/455's. I understand if you wanted to check the plug color on the #8 cylinder of the Boss 429 Mustang, it was... tedious. Thanks for the video, beautiful 302! Thanks for bringing it back from the rust.
With a rare car like that I would go for a proper restoration and then enjoy driving it like how it was when new. Otherwise there is always the option of making a Boss 302 clone out of a much less valuable plain 1969 fastback and modifying it to one's own personal tastes.

lOVE IT.
The picture of the damaged internals of the BOSS 302 engine reveals this is a late 1969-release vehicle.
Gorgeous car !
On a side note from a total car GOOF here…….your video is 4:44. The HP of the 12-13 Boss cars. 😂😂😂
Carry on! 😁
May I buy the 302 or the 351 🤔 , Happy Halloween 🎃

The issue there is the rear quarter panel "scoops" ... which are on the "regular" Mustangs, but not present on the 1969 BOSS 302s.
