Restoring a 1970 Mustang Boss 302 reacquired after 36 years!

Zinc primer is not just weldable…..it’s also delicious as a dessert topping.

Wonder how many Canadians that blonde had to throat to land this gig?

Any ford guy knows that the 302 boss is more like 350hp...10.5-1 / 11-1 compression.....
Windsor 302 4bbl 280..

Spared no expense. Great video. Thank you for the education.

What does a restoration like this cost?

I would give a lot to get mine back! Blue was the color, busted up by an brainless drunk knocking off of the road and down a hill. The loss is 1978’s shoulda, woulda, coulda. Blueprinted motor fresh, top quality shocks, new shifter, immaculate. I now consider it my first serious relationship. With a 3.5x rear it got great fuel mileage. What a blast to drive around the windy country roads in north central PA.

This brings me back to when I was just a kid at 5 or 6 and my father doing time trials in his 69 L36 427 corvette with the Ontario Corvette Club. Great times and amazing memories.

Back then all these muscle cars were a dime a dozen. We all had Mach 1s, bosses, Camaros SS, GTOs whatever! If we only knew! I could have bought a really clean Boss 302 for $2500. It didn't have an original engine so I passed on it.

Excellent video! I have a question - Did assembly plants spray on primer to the body and undercarriage or a phosphate? Zinc primer at the factory? I picked a Revell Boss 302 kit and wanted to be as realistic as possible with the colors and have been trying to compare the detail photos on the box with pictures and video online. Never had a Boss but did grow up around 60s70s Fords. Though I was underneath one once in a while, all I really remember is undercoating and/or grease and rust. The model kit is about as much as I can handle anymore considering limited patience and a kit still in school. Still, I appreciate these cars for what they are and represent, and the artisans who restore them.

GTA boss and a car stolen

Mustang GT my dream car

My godfather Manuel castelona got a
1966 mustang V8 .
He took us for a breakfast trip around Toluca Mex in weekends :
I fall in love with 🐎’n!!!!

Awesome. I have always been a fan of Boss Mustangs, but especially the Boss 302. The only pony car I likes even more was the First Generation Shelbys that were based on the Mustang (Falcon) platforms. I never did purchase a Boss 302 or any other Boss Mustang. I felt for me it would be impractical as I lived, at the time, in SoCal, and later Yuma, AZ. To have a car, any car, without Air Conditioning was craziness. I was more into comfortably driving a high performance vehicle, as opposed to having a high performance vehicle I was goin g to suffer in due to high temperatures inside the car. After many years of "life happening (kids, career, etc.) I finally found a beautifully restored 1969 Shelby GT500, with factory A/C, and purchased. It is still my all time favorite car, despite how nice out other pony cars are - to include a 2020 Shelby GT500 we also picked up along the way. Gotta love those old ponies, eh?

Got to tell you, I wouldn't have traded!

Bring back Dream Car Garage! loved that show

I wonder what insanity he paid to restore this car..

What an amazing story, very cool, Peter is the best, I miss my 1970, 351, Cleveland!!

Grabber Blue is the greatest Mustang color ever 👍

Exactly,,,the correct way to prep, and the suspension pick up points,, Good to see the tig work, and all that Peter has described in detail. If there is anybody out there that doesn't know how to do this work as tho has for 40 years, then you should definitely have Peter Klutt restore your car.

Good thing this guy doesn't live in Holland with his last name. Peter kut 😂

A buddy of mine in Montreal took his 70 Boss 302 mustang apart in the 80's and today its still all apart in his garage( orange)

Ok, how much did this rebuild cost? I'm guessing $70,000.

Legendary Motors is still Legendary!

Like your concern for detail even to the oils and acids from a person's body most notably the person's hands.

This meticulous attention to detail as it pertains to hard points (please refer to engineering percepts)

Beautiful

This is such a satisfying video to watch.

I will never have a manual/stick shift transmission in any of my cars. They’re problems from the word GO. Way too difficult & problematic to handle. Automatic transmissions are the safer, easier, more reliable, effective, efficient, and more powerful.

I'm a Chevy guy but if I had the bank I would definitely have one of these bad boys in my garage.

I went to high school in the 70's. All the great muscle cars were just cheap used cars. In 1976 I bought a Boss 302 for $500. A friend a 440+6 Super Bee for $800, another a GTO Judge for $800. Plus many more!

My 1970 Boss302 was my first car. I bought it in 1978 for $450 with no motor or tranny and rust holes in the rear quarters. We hauled it home in my dads grain truck. I still own it and finished the 2nd resto in 2020. Having a blast driving it as much as I can.

Nice.Larry Shinoda sure knew how to make a great looker.

That beautiful gal was more and more beautiful with every word she spoke! It is such a pity the amount of vibration she has had to hold in her hands...

You can’t be using sand. You must be using baking soda or plastic media. Sand is WAY to abrasive.

I can tell the female on the hammer doesn’t like to be told anything.

Unbelievably high quality video . . . Spielberg's got nuthin' on you guys!

My first car at 16 wasn’t a 1970 boss 302.

Stunning Boss 302! Beautiful!

50 thousand to fix her up

made in America with American workers.

Good stuff! NEW FOLLOW.

None of my business but I'd be real interested in knowing how much this particular resto cost, all-in.

Great video, loved it. Question, did the machinist at Active have a missing left thumb and they replace it with a big toe? I have some messed up fingers from being smashed working in the shop, and the nails never grow right after that! Great Job though, true pro's.

Great restoration, better than new.
Hope i didn’t sold that silver Boss, i still miss it. Greatest car I’ve ever had. Sorry, there’s something in my throat…
