Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this restored 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302. Of course, it’s powered by a Trans-Am-inspired 302ci V8 backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include limited-slip differential, folding rear seat, rear window louvers, rear spoiler, and modern stereo upgrade with Bluetooth. Finished in yellow with black vinyl interior, this 1970 Mustang Boss 302 comes with a Deluxe Marti Report and a clear title.
During the four-year restoration, the exterior was finished in the original color of Bright Yellow (code D) with black Boss 302-specific stripes. Features include front chin spoiler, added Shaker hood, color-keyed sport mirrors with driver’s-side remote, and black taillight panel. A walk-around video can be seen on the auction page.
A set of 15-inch reproduction Scott Drake Magnum 500 wheels is wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
The front bucket seats and the rest of the cabin are upholstered in black vinyl. Features include folding Sport Deck rear seat, new Borgeson power steering system, center console with storage compartment, Hurst shifter, and RetroSound AM/FM radio with Bluetooth.
The instrument panel consists of a 120-mph speedometer, 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature. The odometer reads 88,935 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
Power is provided by a correct 290-horsepower Boss 302 engine, which features 10.5:1 compression, a high-nickel-content block with four-bolt mains, and performance heads with canted valves and solid lifters. It is paired with a rebuilt RUG-AW Top Loader close-ratio four-speed manual transmission that includes a new clutch assembly.
This Boss 302 was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and 3.91:1 Traction-Lok differential. Braking is provided by power front discs and rear drums. A dual exhaust system exits at the rear.

Today is April 17th. Does this date resonate with anyone? No, it’s not a date which will live in infamy, silly Millennial — 59 years ago, the Ford Mustang was introduced.
Mustang beginnings: the 1963 Mustang II concept and Bob Fria’s Mustang #002.
Mopar fans like to say the Barracuda was the first pony car, and that wouldn’t be far from the truth since the Barracuda was introduced on April 1st. However, the Barracuda was a Valiant fastback, while the Mustang featured unique styling and was a marketing tour de force, especially with the market research behind it.
1968 High Country Special with the 428 Cobra Jet is one of nine built.
Like the Beatles, the Mustang took advantage of something simmering in America, which included a youth-minded culture plus more households acquiring second cars (read: more women having their own cars). Sales were beyond spectacular.
The best way for a Mustang to win in 1969 was to order a Mustang coupe with the 428 Cobra Jet and the Drag Pack.
For the Mustang’s 50th in 2014, there were several official shows around the country celebrating everyone’s favorite pony car. I was able to attend the West Coast event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and, I can tell you speaking as car guy more than Mustang fan, it was a celebration to remember. Here are several reminiscent images from that pony car party.
Stark Hickey Ford from the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak campained this Cobra-Jet-powered SportsRoof in 1970.Only eight 1971 Mustang convertibles were built with the 429 Cobra Jet and the Drag Pack (which makes it a SCJ).

Ferrari is in a prime position to attract much younger fans thanks to a licensing deal with Playmobil, the popular toy line that enables children big and small to create their own tiny worlds.
The deal, signed 125 years after the birth of Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari, has already seen Ferrari’s SF90 Stradale join Playmobil’s vehicle fleet, and it’s likely more models from the Prancing Horse’s stable will be added in the near future.
Playmobil Ferrari SF90 Stradale
Playmobil’s fleet includes popular models from numerous brands, like the latest Ford GT supercar, multiple generations of the Porsche 911, and much-loved classics, plus all kinds of commercial vehicles.
Young auto aficionados will be able to recreate their favorite racetracks or dream up their own for the SF90 Stradale, or simply play with it in their favorite sand pit.
Playmobil Ferrari SF90 Stradale
Playmobil’s SF90 Stradale looks realistic thanks to an engine cover that reveals a V-8, as well as functioning lights front and rear. There’s room for two Playmobil figures, which can easily be added through the removable roof and windscreen.
The Playmobil SF90 Stradale went on sale on Friday with a price tag of about $80. Also in the box are two Playmobil figures, golf bags, luggage, and other extras.
Have you ever bought a new car that you regretted letting go? Charlie Pearson doesn’t have that problem — he bought a 1963½ Ford Galaxie 500 new and never got rid of it.
Charlie specified the dual-quad version with 425 horsepower (known as the “R-code” due to fifth character in the VIN) in the “fastback” Galaxie 500 two-door hardtop. This body style was introduced mid-year 1963, the same moment when the 427 replaced the 406 as Ford’s engine to kill on the street and the racetracks. Of course, the Galaxie 500/XL is the famous one due to its bucket seats and console, but perhaps Charlie was inclined to have a little honey closer to him?
Muscle Car Campy — otherwise known as Jim Campisano, the former editor of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords — gives us a ride and spins a tale with Charlie as he waxes poetic on 60 years of ownership. And if you enjoy this episode, you can check out other videos from Muscle Car Campy.
One of my all-time favorite movie cars is the 1946 Ford convertible featured in Back to the Future. In this clip, antagonist Biff Tannen struggles to try to get Marty McFly off his car while they’re battling for the sports almanac which contained all the clues on how to get rich by gambling.
That Ford saw its fair share of bumps and bruises while cruising through a tunnel in the movie. Marty’s Hoverboard in the same scene is a futuristic contrast to the retro looks of that old-school Ford.
This five-window is a coupe as opposed to Biff’s convertible, but the body lines are the same. This car reportedly went through refurbishment some time ago. The seller states, “Older paint restoration – still looks great!” The seller provides a few bullet points of specific highlights, including mechanical updates.
Post-World War II automotive production re-started in late 1945. The engineering for 1946 Ford models was largely a carry-over from pre-war in 1942 at the time, although the grille was revised, and the nose of the car was accented by inlaid red accents in the brightwork. The hood was slightly widened as well, and it received a center chrome strip to differentiate it from prior years.
Under that hood, power came from a 239cid flathead V8 paired with a manual transmission. The motor on today’s feature car is said to be unmodified, although the electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts and a Walker heavy-duty radiator was installed. The period-correct Coker Classic wide-whitewall tires have reportedly driven only about 50 miles since installation.
Moving to the interior, the Mohair grey cloth interior looks to be a nice place to spend time, especially since the climate is controlled by a Vintage Air A/C system. The carpet has been replaced throughout.
“Excellent car, runs and drives great,” the listing concludes. Biff Tannen would definitely approve of this clean old Ford coupe. He just needs to watch his driving so he doesn’t run into a pile of manure.
The seller is asking $28,900 for this clean old Super Deluxe.
