Same here too!!! 👍👍❤️❤️

In about 1989, my wife won a 1969 Grabber Green Boss 302. At that time, Chief Auto Parts (if my memory of the name is correct) sponsored the NHRA national race at the Texas Motorplex near Ennis Texas and was giving away the Boss and a Chevrolet ??? to promote the race. They had discount tickets (or coupons) to the race at their stores. My wife went to their store in Cleburne Texas and bought some tickets. Unknown to her, she was entered in the contest to win one of the cars. A few weeks after the race, she got a call telling her she had won and asking here to return to the store to be presented with the car. She thought it was a joke but went anyway and was given the car. The car would hardly run and we took it to the Ford dealer in Cleburne and the mechanics there knew little to nothing about Boss's and couldn't fix it. They also thought it might be a fake. After some research we found out it was a valuable car ( I didn't know what is was at first) and we found a Mustang restorer in Benbrook Texas who verified it was authentic and fixed it. Earlier he had been at the race in Ennis and had hoped he would win the car. We drove it some on the back roads. I remember it being pretty fast but it road walked a lot. We lived in the country at the time and didn't have a garage for it. Although the car was parked over a hundred yards from the highway, a lot of people stopped by and wanted to buy it. I think some of them thought we didn't know the value of the car and were hoping to get it for a song. We eventually sold it to someone from Alvarado Texas for $17,500 in about 1990 or 1991. We thought about keeping it but didn't have a garage and were also concerned that we could blow up the engine on our back road drives. Also we didn't have a lot of money.

I have no clue how I came across this but man it made me happy to watch. Thank you sirs.🙏 Absolutely beautiful rare gem find.

Old muscle cars are more desirable today than they were back in the day. Priceless

An exact, exact Boss 302....same color, year, etc and I, with my RoadRunner, in 1972 raced most of the way on old Highway 16 in southern Minnesota and out onto interstate 90, sometimes me ahead, sometimes him ahead....until we stopped at a truckstop on interstate and had lunch and bullshitted together for quite some time. Got to know each other. I'm 73 now.....can't remember his name. We were both young bucks then.....I wonder.....The RoadRunner is long gone, unfortunately...... I hope that Bob gave he old boy a good price for it and didn't screw him over.

BUT the fact that this car is practically Day One would suit the fancy of a much broader audience - muscle car fans in general, collectors who only do unrestored cars, etc. That’s why I suggest the owner hires Bob to get it just right for auction and reps the car at a big name auction. And let the market decide. This car could be the marquee attraction!!

Respect for the man to keep car in such great shape.

Hey Bob, don't restore it. They're only original once, and they really don't get much more original than that. Cleaned up and sympathetically perfected, it's a 1 of 1 time capsule, restored it's just another highfalutin' thoroughbred Boss 302 with date coded air in the tires. Big whoop.

I like how these guys aren’t trying to rip this old man off unlike some other jerks who had tv shows where they say things like I need this car at yadda yadda yadda number so i can make all the profit , they valued the car honestly

If the 67 Shelby GT-500 that was wasted and altered is worth $65,000 then this car completely original and near mint condition has to be worth at least $100k ..

Don't ever let someone who wants to buy your car appraise it....for obvious reasons. I drove a Boss identical to this one in the early 70's and have owned numerous ones since that time. This car is six figures....period!

That's an insult, and if I were the owner, I'd take him off the list of potential buyers, let alone call him first. That makes me so mad, to see someone who knows what it's worth, to go and try and steal the car from a guy who obviously loved it and took extra care of it for all those years, and hardly even drove it. Shame on him!!!!! Just read through the comments to see if others felt the same way I do about the price.

You can loose 20 percent of your money to those auction houses. If you know how to sell it, you can make a hell of a lot more.

I have a Boss 302, without the correct engine, actually a real 351Boss. Body pretty solid, nothing close to that, people randomly stop by to buy, last guy came with cash, I said it's not for sale. I wouldn't consider $30,000. $50,000 for that car is criminal.

Its a survivor dont touch it! You'll be sorry

My brother bought a Mustang, new in 1967, for $3,200...had the 289-4V, 4-speed manual, convertible top...but before everyone thinks 'wow, in this video we see a Boss 302 for $4500, new!', you need to consider the time this was, and the state we were in at the time...we were in (or deepening into) Vietnam, gas was cheap, but jobs were pretty hard to find...and in my brother's case, he worked for a MAJOR aerospace company (in aircraft production), and was bringing home $116 to $121 A WEEK for pay! At the same time, it was VERY RARE for a bank to carry a car loan longer than 24 months (first 36 month long car loan I ever saw, was when my mother wanted her own car in 1971, and the bank provided the note to her)...so in most loans, you'd divide your payment (say, $2,000, after you put up 30-50% of the purchase value in your own cash...a lot larger down payments were MANDATORY back then!), by 24-months...and even like now, if your car payment exceeds 25% of your monthly income, you're going to get into a BAD BIND quickly in your budget...so, $100 a week was about all that most 'blue collar' Americans could afford on a car note, IF THEY HAD A DECENT JOB! (on a side note...it was after the FDIC bailouts of 1980, that home loans WERE EVER allowed to extend to 15-years, too...when I was a kid, you could get a decent family home in most areas for $5k to $7k, but the notes were on 5-7 year timelines, on average)...

Not just the 302. The 289 Windsor seen in '65-'66 Mustangs, Shelby 289 Cobras, the GT-40 Mk. I, etc., is essentially the same motor as the 302, just with a smaller cylinder bore (if you bore out a 289 .060 oversize, you basically get a 302 Windsor), and it was also an excellemt motor (especially in its solid-lifter "Hi-Po" form). That Windsor series V8 was built like a tank, and was very easy to modify for increased power output. The 5.0 from the '80's and '90's is also a 302 Windsor, just with modern electronics, fuel injection, better heads, etc. It should be noted that the Boss 302 is significantly different from the standard 302 Windsor, however (the Boss is a specialized racing motor), and I believe the modern 5.0 is a completely different motor.

I'm appalled by the number of people that thought that the offer of $500 was real!

Work out after some research what you think and would like to get for the car, then when your happy with a price take it to auction and put a reserve on it , make up your mind your not letting it go for a penny less, if it doesn,t get your reserve , take it back home, gaurntee someone will get in touch through auction house , stick to your guns , you,ll get what you want ,personally I would stick $80,000 on this example.

I just recently had sold my 1966 convertible Mustang numbers matching car that I had gotten when I was 15 years old and I completely restored it I'm 30 years old now it was my first car had so much fun memories in that car and I sold it and now I have a 1969 Boss 429

Truth is... Ford used whatever they had on the Shelf. When one parts supplier ran out, the next parts supplier was standing right there waiting. Or at least... That's what one of the executives from Ford Motor Company at the time, told me. As I was restoring the number 11 Mustang off the assembly line. A 64 and 1/2 convertible, in Sunset yellow. The very next convertible to roll off the assembly line, was sold to a teacher, the day before Mustang were actually available to be sold. She paid cash. Which by our estimation, is the last time, a teacher could afford to pay cash, for any car.

When Bob talked about not that many left, he didn't refer to just any Boss 302, he referred to cars like this - low miles and all there. This car has potential few other Boss 302s out there have, if the right person saves it as such. You think he wants this car that bad? Nah, he has a passion for classic Mustangs, which is why he has done so much good for this hobby, like saving back that Hubert Platt car for 20 years and gathering parts and working years to return it to its glory days. This takes stamina and purpose to do. You look at this as taking, when it is giving. Greedy, self-serving people would not have let me go along to video this story, fearing somebody else would get the car. Bob wants to save it and build it up, so I hope I can make this clear to understand.
