One and Only ’71 Boss 302

Andrew Hack was simply looking for a Mustang driver when he purchased a Grabber Yellow ’71 Mustang SportsRoof he spotted for sale on eBay. When he got it home, he noticed the early VIN – 1F02H100053. Further investigation revealed two data stickers on the driver’s door, one on top of the other. With careful application of hair dryer heat, Hack was able to peel up the top sticker to reveal the car’s original VIN with a “G” for the engine code. Yes, a ’71 Boss 302, a car that was supposedly never built when Ford pulled the plug on racing in the summer or 1970 and decided to offer only the Boss 351.

Kevin Marti’s production database and invoices uncovered the long, strange story. Hack’s Mustang was built on August 3, 1970, one of several Boss 302s ordered for the Ford dealer intro shows. However, 100053 was the only one completed; the other orders were canceled. The car was then shipped to the Las Vegas Convention Center for the dealer event. Apparently, the car then went into limbo as Ford tried to figure out what to do with a brand-new Mustang that should not exist. In early 1971, instructions were issued to remove the Boss trim and replace the VIN with one for a Mustang with a 351 two-barrel engine. The car was subsequently sold at Wilson Ford in Huntington Beach, California, as a 351-powered SportsRoof, albeit still with the Boss 4-speed and 9-inch rear end.
