When I was a kid, I dreamed about having a Mustang Boss 302. In high school, I wondered what my fellow classmates would think should I cruise into the parking lot with one. At the small Iowa high school I attended, that car would make you a superstar.<\/p>\n
For those of us slightly removed from the popular crowd, such a machine served as a fortress against perceptual teenage angst.\u00a0As “cool kids” nursed 4-banger hand-me-downs and cookie cutter sedans, the Mustang’s Windsor roar would have sent waves though the crowd and\u00a0the girls to your locker.<\/p>\n
Nice guys don’t finish last if they’re car guys.<\/p>\n
I imagine the modernized Boss Mustang with its 5.0 would warrant the same results.<\/p>\n

The book covers the origins of the Boss, from its time as an optional package for SCCA Trans-Am racing, to its rebirth in the 21st century.<\/p>\n Larry Shinoda lead the design team in 1969, bringing the powerful pony to life with spoilers and graphics unlike anything at the time. From the beginning, the Mustang Boss 302 lived up to its name. It was the boss. It was at the top of the ladder.<\/p>\n Donald Farr\u00a0has been with Mustang Monthly Magazine for 30 years. In addition to his magazine work, he\u00a0authored Mustang Boss 302: Ford\u2019s Trans-Am Ponycar<\/em> and\u00a0owns the 1966 Mustang GT that his grandfather purchased new.
