If Ford offered a "Sleeper Package" along the lines of this thing, I'd certainly look into it.

I like that. The best of the GT and the best of the Boss, except for the wheels. I'll take a Boss GT, Kona Blue, with glass roof.

This one doesn't have the engine covers over all the hoses, fuel lines, etc.

Reminds me of the red one Overboost saw in a driveway in Detroit a few months ago.

This looks like the evolution of the one I saw. Different grille, wheels, and badging then the red one.

Saw this in person, I actually like it a lot more without the badges, but I'd get rid of the 5.0 on the fenders.

There was another Boss prototype of sorts there, as well:



It's a crappy picture, but you can barely see the side exhaust behind the front wheel. This was a mule for the exhaust setup on the Boss according to the guy that was driving. After I noticed the side exhaust and the manufacturer plate, I ran to catch up to him and asked him through the window. The car was then at Mustang Alley in the morning, too.

I just want to make the explicit point here that this is almost exactly what a Boss 302 would look like if "stripe delete" were available. Imagine ordering one like this and adding the 3M reflective type '69 style stripes on the sides. Now you have none of that jacked up roof and hood color and still have the intrinsic style of the model. I understand that the stripes on the new model are not necessarily reflective like the old ones were, so you are a step ahead of the game here. YMMV, but I think that is all you need for this well thought out out performer. I mean if you really have to brag out loud with hood and roof colors, is what you have really worth talking about?

I actually saw this driving today, and it caught my attention with the black wheels and M-plate. I thought someone was stealing my style running around. Either way, it sounds mean.

Reflective Stripes

" WHAT THE **** DO YOU PEOPLE MEAN BY REFLECTIVE STIPES!? "

Well, I'm sure that you don't see too many original 1969 or 1970 Boss 302 mustangs in Bulgaria, so this is a fair question. The stripes on the side of the old Bosses look grey during the day, but at night, when light is shined on them, they reflect light like on the backs of running shoes or safety shirts for road crews.

It is actually quite dramatic if an old boss turns in front of you at night. The side stripes light up quite vividly. A black Boss with those stripes will definitely turn your head. There are actually a couple of these old Bosses on the road in the Kansas City, MO area. Kind of strange, but they look just like they did 40 years ago. Imagine that.

And you didn't follow it!!!!??? I would've followed him and then when he stopped I would've pulled the driver outta the car and sped off!!!!!
Actually I would've looked for a chance to talk with the driver.
