Look for something similar to this...

I remember, but I think there was a possible change of plans. Time will tell.

Well maybe that isn't any better. I've thought that I'd rather have the tach and speedo reversed on our cars so reversing them is probably a plus.

I like that green a lot and I'm a big fan of grabber blue.

A Boss with Sync and HIDs. Nice.

4.2" display in the gauge cluster. Even nicer.

Ford, I like what you've done so far. Keep it up.

Note the LS-like splitter, and consider this:

EXTERIOR

Modified front fascia with new splitter


Unique front grille with fog lamps

Good point on the fogs, I think they do this just to screw with us, if the front was just painted normal, no one would give it a second look. It is hard to tell if it has four pipes but in one picture it looks like it may. There is no gauge pack and the rims are different but just may be there to throw us off. It does have blind spots and this but not that


One rumor floating around is the hood will not be interchangeable, so .......

This kind of throws me off a bit, I wanted to get one and make it a track car but the 13 looks better for the street with the extra bells and whistles. I am afraid of dinging up mine being a top 10 car (yes I know it is not #1 but still). Now even if I get one it will be hard to decide which to track?

Anyone want a 70?

We've seen this car with another front end on it before. This was an early Boss mule I had spotted some time last year. Remember this guy?





Just out of curiosity, how did you come to the conclusion that it was going to have an LS-style splitter?

Do these features also appear on the base model Mustangs? I was never thrilled that non-LS Boss models had no oil pressure gauge. But now Sync & HIDs along with the 70's style stripes!? Winnah winnah chicken dinnah!

I was hoping for the real "grabber green". Oh well.... Have to wait and see what "gotta have it green" looks like in person next year.

Has anyone checked those paint codes for yellow and green to see if they reference to any other vehicles? I wonder if that green is the same used on the Focus RS.

I find it hard to believe that Ford would make the front end of a Boss look very similar to a Shelby GT500. A louvered hood would be nice though.

Well I suppose if any of this is even remotely true I won't be as disappointed that my Q3'12 Yellow Blaze order was cancelled.

If you recall from the Speed TV special PJ was the one who said the 70 Bud Moore built Boss 302 Trans AM race cars were painted school bus yellow and that Grabber Orange just sounded better. They used that color on the race cars because it was easier to see them and keep track of where they were on the race track. It was probably also cheap and easy to get. They did a fair amount of beating and banging back then so body repairs between races was pretty routine. I'm guessing that's where the name came from. I'm also guessing that they will call it Grabber Orange for 2013 and someone is just messin' with us.

Personally I think they should call the green color "Grabber Melon"

My biggest hope is that the Boss gets the Tremec instead of the Getrag.
