Possible Boss M-plate spotted

On the way home today, I found this in my sub at a local Ford employee's house. I've seen a large assortment of cars there over the years, some even in camo, but this one sparked my interest. From the pics, I can clearly see it's a GT, without side badges, but it does have the SVT PP wheels and the 4" exhaust, but still has GT badging on the rear. Also notice the different finish on the front wheels. I didn't get a shot of the front or the interior, but I will hopefully take a closer peek later tonight. Here's the pics from the cam phone I took earlier:

that Mustang II looks a little too obvious...probably also a prototype mule for Ford's next 5.5L DI V8

Are you talking about the one in the driveway or the one on the curb?

Thats a prototype 2014. They said they were downsizing for fuel economy. Plus you have the retro 70's styling.

Yep, I was just about to say the same. It has a Tr-Bar/Pony badge. I would bet money that it has a GT/CS front end with a Tri-Bar front and center of a fogless black grille!

Ok, I just did another pass and walked up to take a look at the front. No Cobra badges on it at all. No center caps either. It had the GT Brembos on it, and the hood was standard fare as well. The front, on the other hand, was a little different. Billet grille with the GT/CS lower diffuser, but NO FOGS. Also, the splitter on the front is more pronounced than the CS examples I've seen.

I did glance at the interior, but it looked like a standard cloth GT interior, and had the big kill button on the top of the dash. Couldn't tell much more than that because the rain was all over the windows and didn't want to wipe them off. Definitely looked very good, from what I'd seen. Here's a pic of the front:

Knock on his door and introduce yourself He'll either spill the beans or tell you to GTFO.

FWIW one of the Ford employees I spoke with at an owner's event said his company car was a Mustang GT and could basically add anything he wanted to it (free of charge, of course). It had a big brake kit, GT500 wheels, and some other goodies. This might just be an example of the "custom" ride he's driving. The front fascia is interesting though.

I really like the stance with the SVTPP wheels. Car looks great. Also, that front splitter looks good as well, I just wish the fogs were back in it, or it had HIDs.

I did think about knocking on the door, but didn't bother. If he had been outside, I would have stopped to chat with him and find out more. I don't want to bother someone with questions that they might not be able to answer.

Haha well I was pretty close I guess....

That chin spoiler/splitter looks pretty aggressive (kinda looks like a GT500 splitter installed on the CS fascia). I'm pretty sure it's safe to say we are looking at a Boss mule! So the front wheels were PP wheels too, but in black?

You would have looked like a creepy stalker if you had...

It easily fits the visual description that a 2011 Boss 302 prototype would have.... No badges or stripes, but unique things like the BOSS 302R lower valance(aka GT/CS lower valance w/ no fogs), front splitter, rear spoiler, and tri-bar pony faux gas cap. It's hard to see but it appears to also have a GT500/GT/CS/302R rear diffuser.


All you need to do to make it a Boss 302 visually is to add a black hood stripe, black BOSS 302 hockey stick side stripe, black billet grille with centered tri-bar pony, and paint the rear spoiler black. I hope the SVT PP wheels come on the Boss 302 if they make it because they look awesome.

Btw guys, I can almost completely confirm that the front splitter is the Boss 302R one. If you look at the highlighted area in this picture of the Boss 302R, you will see that the 302R has the same front splitter as the mysterious car pictured above(I brightened the picture so you can see the splitter better ).

Boss 302R:

I think they're HRE's, they recently filed chapt. 11. But they were about $900.00 each.

They are the 2011 SVT Performance Package wheels off the 2011 GT500

Very nice find! We know Ford has been working on a street Boss, this would seem to confirm it may be closer than we think
