Anyone see the Classic Mustang Magazine I believe it was. They had a promotional photo of the BOSS 302 for 1971, I think they said they made one before they decided to go with the 351. They were so close to making it the magazine said that Ford catalogs even had the parts numbers for the BOSS 302 Decals. I wonder what something like that would be worth, they don't know what happened to it, probally in some old ladies garage.

I remember that. It is kinda odd for something to be that rare.

How did the BOSS 302 compare to the 351 in HP and Torque? Its probally better they went with the 351 considering the bigger body style they put them in. I think the BOSS 351 was the fastest production Mustang ever made? I could be wrong but the BOSS 351 outran even the 429SCJ in the 1/4mile in most of the test I have seen by something like .6 seconds.
