The Seven Best Mustangs Ever, And Three Of The Worst

January 19, 2018

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302

From the chunky, outrageously powerful Shelby GT500, we come to one of the more (somewhat) restrained Mustangs. Sure, the Boss 429 Mustang was more powerful and plain ballsy, but sometimes there’s plus points to subtlety. Firstly, the Boss 302 was affordable, with a base price of $3529, making it a Mustang that wouldn’t break the bank. It was also still extraordinarily capable. Zero to 60 was handled in a respectable 8.1 seconds, and a quarter mile could be cracked in 15.8 seconds from a standing start.

Like the GT500, it’s got a racing heritage. The Boss 302 engine was first made for the SCAA Trans-Am racing series, scraping at the series’ 305ci engine limitations. It’s got another claim to fame, too, being designed by Larry Shinoda. If that name sounds familiar, he was also one of the masterminds behind the Sting Ray Corvette, and the stunningly beautiful Mako Shark concept. Not many people can claim to be behind both one of the best Corvettes and one of the best Mustangs.
