So will this get a dedicated unique VIN? Have any S197 SE had unique VIN numbers?

 

I may be wrong but parts are not produced just for a few warranty repairs or for that matter, after warranty expires but to make money from a huge market that will exist when the BOSS 302 hits the street.

correct, but the point is that it will be VERY cost prohibitive to try and build your own "boss" which at the end of the day would be a modded GT and the owner would get little if any of their money back when they sold it. Ford has never built a mustang variant that absolutely could not be duplicated if someone really wanted to (this would be almost impossible).

 

Really,,,That's the point!!!!

Only a fool would think you could duplicate the new BOSS and recover actual cost, unless you wait it out for a few decades...

There's perception and then there is reality. Happy shopping is right.

The '69 - '70 Boss fans are experiencing the same withdrawal symptoms as the '01 Bullitt fans when the '08 Bullitt was announced. The thought of their exclusivity having competition is a bit hard to swallow almost to the point of feeling insulted.

 

people are dumb

 

I doubt they will sell a Boss 302 motor for sale anytime soon, but just for reference:
The Coyote is $7k
The new AL GT500 motor is $21k

Purists generally suffer from octorectalnitus unfortunately its unclear if the condition results from being a purist or the condition results in being a purist

This somewhat reminds me of the Bullitt/Mach SN95 guys as well as GT500 early adopters.
