Although I should wait for Mark give the OK (he can slap my hand if I was wrong) here goes:
On 1970 Boss 302s, there were at least two external trim items that were painted differently from regular (non-Boss 302) Mustangs. What were they? (I'm not talking about big body parts like the hood, trunk, etc.)

One out of two correct - the taillight surrounds are painted black (with a little argent) as opposed to chrome/argent on regular Mustangs. Mirrors are the same. Still looking for one more item...

Ah, Mr. Webster, as a former owner of said car it is not unusual that you would get the correct answer. Yes, on 1970 Boss 302s, the rear window moulding was plain steel and painted black as opposed to stainless steel on all other 1970 Mustangs. You're up.

I'll pass this over to Cheese302 as he answered the other half of the question, and I might not be monitoring the board too closely the next day or two.

Something like this : Carroll is sitting arounds with a few guys trying to come up with a name. Turns to one and asks, "How far is it to that building over there?" Answer - "About 350 feet". Response - "OK, let's call it the G.T. 350. If it's a good car the name won't hurt and if it's a flop the name won't matter..."

Hoss, I think you are correct in that 1963 was the first year for 4 speed floor mounted trans. My Dad had a '62 Galaxie 406 car that was a column shifter 3 speed with overdrive that he later converted to floor shift. I know '63 Falcon Sprints were available with 4 on the floor. I know there were earlier floor shifts (like Model A), but I don't think they were 4 speeds.
