Hands-on restoration

Downey Jr. commissioned the shop SpeedKore to make this customized BOSS truly special and just for him. The upgrade treatment can be attributed to a mix of Ford Performance and custom carbon fiber parts. Downey Jr. has been involved throughout all of the modifications, and this model is a true blend of classic and modern.

Nice and plush

On the interior, you’ll find supple soft brown leather giving things a more “Vintage Air,” an air conditioning system, a custom steering wheel, and a vintage instrument cluster. On the outside, the BOSS is grounded on bespoke HRE wheels that have been wrapped by Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires. All of this was put into place by Gabe’s Street Rod Custom Interiors.

New this and new that...

Underneath, the subtle yellow painted carbon fiber panels run deep. They can be found in the valence, deep chin spoiler, quarter extensions, deck lid, bumpers, fenders, and the hood. While the exterior design has stayed true to the original, there is now Detroit Speed aluminum frame and Quadralink. As well as reinforced subframes in the front and rear. These are designed to help the car manage its intense new power.
