The Long Lost 1971 Boss 302 Mustang Prototype, Bob Perkins Boss Expert Saving History

Maybe someone knows. How can a 50 year old battery still work?

Flint division assembly plant.

FDA

Is this one of the Larry shinoda cars?
He had a big part of designing mustangs

First car I ever had in high school was a 71 Mach 1 white black stripes I have a 67 GT Fastback I restored do you sell sell parts still need a few things

Great narration and research on these videos

Boy I can’t imagine the time and money gone to finding all this stuff. I hope I can do something so cool in my life.

Volume levels make it unwatchable in the long run.

Awesome story! Those unicorns are still out there 👍👍👍

That car was found in Little Rock Arkansas I believe. If it's the same car I went with two friends to pick it up and it made it's way up north about 2012.

He's got a Boss429 just sittin in the back of the shot there, collecting dust :-P

It woulcd be nice to have a finished product video instead of 2 of the same intro videos. He new the Boss would be rare and unique

What we need now is a follow up of this Boss today.

You can look up the 1971 Mustang tire inflation chart that would have been installed on all Mustangs and the Boss 302 is listed on all of them.

You would think Ford Motor Museum Would want to try and buy this car back???

Absolutely incredible

Funny how this particular '71 identified as a B302, B351, and a Mach 1 all before it was sold.

I don’t blame him for being incapable of driving it . Although a Mustang built for TransAm is deserving of hard racing on a road course alongside its contemporaries, the man is no Jay Leno.

I'm looking for updates.Hope to see them.Been following this.

I'm confused. Putting a 351 2v in it will make it much less valuable than a Boss 351. So why did they downgrade it before selling it?

Hubert Platt’s car is amazing.

Guys who worked in the 50&70’s used to steal everything that wasn’t bolted down. A guy rolled out a whole engine lol

This is me 😮 overly impressed!!!! Dudes a gear head deluxe!

very sad the 1966 9.2" deck 351w XE93532 did not make it into production because of B Knudsen;s 351C (Oldsland block)

Wow bob u are amazing your love for boss mustangs & bringing them back to life is just unbelievable and how perfect u make them my hats off to you sir !! I love the boss mustangs myself but I love all mustangs I wish I could own a boss mustang maybe someday and I would show it the love you show yours & that’s with out a doubt thank u for what you do for the boss mustang keeping them alive !!!!

Like Putin, that should be put in a glass box .

A priceless collection .

I purchased a 71 Boss in the Army. The oversea selling. Agent gave me a Ford promo photo of this Boss 302.

I know the only one

Thanks for sharing this video with us

The boss has 351 cleveland heads

What made it the boss

super cool

Talking about lunch bucket stuff. My buddy has a 68 z/28 back in the day he used to race. His friend who worked assembly line in 69 gave him 2 dz carbs Incase he wanted to run different tunes for racing. 😂

Y'all really need to get ahold of Dennis colinns he's in Dallas Texas he's a good man who knows about Ford mustangs and I really bet he really would be very impressed and interested in this mustang and he has the money to buy it and a few more please believe me that is so very true about the man okay thanks Charles Williams

FDS Ford driving school?

Bob you are like a mustang dictionary of knowledge

So those vin numbers on the transmission were from the first vin the car had I assume.

Absolutely amazing find. Love when these mythical cars from the past get found and restored.

Oh Oh.. This Boss is going to get expensive!!

What a great channel. And Bob Perkins is incredible, I wish I could go see his collection It's not that far a drive from me.

G'day from Australia...This is amazing...we have a similar passion for our Aussie built GT Falcons and our Phase 1 , Phase 2 and Phase 3 GTHO Falcons..Then the XA, XB and XC GT variants and other Falcons ..There were four phase 4 GTHO built too but only one or two remain...The restoration etc market here is just like this including the same factory overspray requirements...I love these videos....Check out the Aussie love of our Ford's too , especially the GT Falcons...You'll be genuinely surprised ...This is a great channel....already subscribed and thanks again.... Awesome...

I am dumbfounded by the dedication, desire, knowledge, patience, care and professionalism of this man and his projects. Great video!!! Thank You!! Very inspirational.

Caustic Soda, not baking

Maybe an unpopular opinion , but I wouldn't own a car that I wouldn't drive. Yeah I get it's super rare.

according to the video there were two, only one survivor. just saying the opening statement is wrong.
