Passed the local dealership last night and saw a white GT convertible with a grabber blue Boss stripe. I WANT MY CAR. PLEASE! :-)

 

I also saw one at a dealer with stripes a couple months ago. Another dealer took a yellow blaze Mustang, painted the hood and roof like the Boss but left off the stripes.

 

I saw a blue V6 Mustang with the red LS strip package and rear spoiler at a local dealer. The sales guy I talked to said he couldn't wait to get that thing off his lot.

 

I saw a yellow blaze with black boss stripes on it at a nearby dealership while on the freeway ...I thought it was a boss from the road but when I stopped in to look at it (curious what crazy markup it would have from this particular dealer) I found out it was a **** V6! Made me sick to look at...

 

My buddy sent me this:

 

Saw this at the Chump Cars race this weekend. I guess the guy isn't really trying that hard to make a fake. More of an homage, really...

Saw this on base a couple weeks ago. Used to be the baddest "boss" on base... 'til I showed up.
I've tried giving him the nod/wave/finger from the steering wheel while passing, I get nothing in return.

 

Well at least mine does not say Boss on it... And there is a precedent of no-Boss C-stripes on the 1970 Grabber Mustangs.

 

 

I had done a 69 Boss Tribute to my 2006 GT 5 yrs ago, long before there was hopes of owning a new Boss 302.

 

I guess I'm not helping things either:

 

I see nothing wrong with these custom stangs, in fact they look good. If some dealers are trying to pass of one as the real thing that is different. It is your car do as you will without worrying about others, I did a 70 vert in the Boss stripes once.

Anyway Boss owners get use to it. The current CJ ad has three ponies on it, one is a 70 Boss and one is a 12 Boss. The local south FL forum has a Boss on it's main page and it has been there a while, not bad for a car that has about 9,800 units built so far in 42 years as compared to the millions of Mustangs built over the years.

 

I like it like it!

 

Nice, when did you add the stripes? What's next, the LS spoiler and splitter?

 

Last week I added the stripes. I'm still not 100% on them, as I ordered with no lettering, and the top of the uprights just seem lost on the upper fender. I need something to "validate" the body line, thinking maybe a dark gray matte 302 decal over it (subtle) to index on that line and tie it all together.

Might keep this setup as is for a while (probably the standard boss black hood decal to tie in the stripes)

However, at some point I'll get an LS splitter, 302S hood, and maybe change the rear wing. Really depends on how I feel about aero on track after more testing.

I'm also still playing with the front wheel offsets. The pictured front wheels are 19x8.5 ET35, the rears 19x9.5 ET40. I'm thinking about getting a pair of the rears to go to a square setup on the car.


here's the front:

 

You can check with this guy for the (hood) stripes sales.promotorstripes@gmail.com

He did my hood in flat but can do it in the shinny or any color.It would be cheaper then the original one.

 

we could also trade cars (as long as I could keep the konis )

If you don't mind me asking, what did he charge for that? I see AM has something similar for under $100, but that looks just like what I want.

 

Hard to say since I helped him get the measurements together and got a complete set. However he has this listed on ebay at $55 shipped, I am not sure if this is the newer version after doing my Boss.

Best thing is to drop him a email since I am not certain.

 

sounds good, shot off an email. Thanks!
