Boss Mustang???????

[01GT eibach]

Larry Shinoda is the father of the original Boss Mustangs (1969-1971?). But I believe he is dead, and his family created the "Team Shinoda" concept selling Boss packages (historians, please chime in). If you buy one of these Boss packages you can get "certified" as a Boss Mustang. This certification only means that Team Shinoda recognizes your car as a "true" Boss. The first-level package includes something like stickers (of course), springs, and a catback. For the level 2, they add I think one more thing. The important thing to keep in mind is that the Shinoda Boss name has ZERO credibility on late-model Mustangs. Having it certified means nothing in terms of value or re-sale (the contrary is true for certified Steeda, Saleen, and Roush Mustangs). As a matter of fact, the gaudy decal packages would likely hurt re-sale value overall, unless you find the naive high schooler who thinks it is some sort of collectors item. This is all a bit painful to us Mustangphiles as the early Boss Mustangs were sooooooooo sweeeeeeeeet.

No offense but those stickers are just too much. I can see letters on the side or on the hood but not on the side,hood, front/back glass everywhere...

well who saw the SVT project in 5.0 mustang a few months ago? it was a V-10 "BOSS 351". The thing was a real animal!!!!!

Bottom line is that the BOSS is garbage. Just another way rice is spreading over to stangs

Do you even know what they offer? Didn't think so. If you look at their website, the offer a stage 1 with 300 hp, stage 2 with 425 hp and a stage 3 twin turbo with 600 hp....I too thought they were grahics only but after checking them out I'm a little impressed...not too keen on a 60,000 price tag for the stage 3 but I guess thats what others in that range are going for.

I think you have touched on it. The only real meaning in the name "Boss" would be in a true Ford-sanctioned product ... like in your example. The only late-model Boss that was ever sold from Ford, I believe, was a Boss model in 1995 or so. Being a Ford-sanctioned product, that would likely carry some increased re-sale value.

hmmmmmm..........

Team Shinoda plan on building 250 35 th anniversary Boss 302 Mustangs. The cars will start life as a 2004 GT Premium Package, but Team Shinoda will add a 302 cubic inch DOHC mod motor engine rated at a naturally aspirated 450-horse power. The transmission will be a 5-speed with retro Hurst "T" handle shifter. Brembo Brakes will slow the Boss while Koni Shocks and Shinoda - Hotckis suspension will help in the handling department. A Shaker hood will also be offered along with rear slats and side scoop delete panels. Blacked out trunk lid and hood along with Boss 302 reflective stripes will pay homage to the 1969 - 1970 Boss 302's. Unspecified 18-inch 295/35 ZR rear and 265/35 ZR front rubber will shoe the 18x10 and 18x9 Magnum 500 wheels. The standard Ford colors of Competition Orange, Screaming Yellow, White, Torch Red, Sonic Blue and Silver will be offered. As an option any vintage Boss 302 color can be applied to the car. The build start date is scheduled for January 2004. For more information contact Team Shinoda

I've seen the new v10 boss in the magazine that dan was talking about.. Bad a$$ car making 500 hp at flywheel. They said there was a chance that we might see the V10 in a Cobra R someday.

That's a REAL BOSS, not the one's we're talking about here. That was a Ford produced vehicle. Team Shinoduh is a joke, damn assclowns

 

[hot4boss]

Half of you people are morons. Larry Shinoda created the original Boss AND the "stickers" as you call them on todays cars. Those stickers have been around since 94, long before the "ricers" came along and larrys
family still helps run his company.

Team Shinoda has some ass kickin cars.
You call them slow, well you probably did not ever come up against a real Boss then. Some other companies made cheap copies of the graphics (which dont fit I might add) and there are lots of the sticker cars running around. Most are supercharged, have shaker hoods, Ram air systems and now they have a twin turbo which dyno'd at 597 at the rear wheels running just ONE turbo and it's street legal.

Saleen, Roush, Steeda and the like all started the same as Shinoda, selling parts where you could build your own car. Shinoda does have cars available at dealers.

As far as value goes, at least the Boss cars are documented... last years MCA grand National a kit car rousch took top prize in the rousch category and was a fake!!!

The Shinoda Boss are holding their value better than regular mustangs and they have the insurance claims where cars were totalled to back it up. The Cragar Shinoda car has been appraised at over 100 grand, that's one hundred thousand dollars PLUS.

The 001 Gen 1 car is appraised at over 80G.
And a 100,000 mile 96 Boss supercharged was just paid for by the insurance company at 24K as a daily driver car.
So before you make an As% out of yourself, Get the FACTS not just make up crap you dont have any clue about.

 

[hot4boss]

Boss Shinoda has the same authentication and approval by Ford that Saleen Steeda, rousch etc all have. They have the same credentials. and tTeam shinoda gets to see and touch the new 05 car before any of you do because of what they do and who they are. Do you even know what it takes to do that?

Looks like everyone on this thread has been suspended off stang net for something... who did you all tick off?
