Five plus years later... Still love my Boss

Couple pics from a recent C&C. This car continues to put a smile on my face. Although it can get destroyed by the latest run of supercharged muscle cars, it is more about the fun to drive factor. That's a factor the Boss is very strong in. Ive been itching for a change but I can't deny that I've owned this car over 5 years and still love it!

That is a great place to be in. Something to be said for being satisfied for sure.

Gorgeous, Boss! I love the Boss 302's styling, character, and performance. I saw several up close at a recent car show and love them. I'm a 03/04 Cobra purist, but a Boss 302 gets my exception all day long... and I told my wife its a worthy future addition to my 03/04 Terminator stable. I'm very much loving the red, but white or even yellow looks so nice.

Same here. Absolutely love my Boss. Every mod I've done has made me love it even more. She still turns heads and is a blast to drive!

Had a 12 Boss & now a 13.
After 3-1/2 yrs., still love it.
Running SCCA SOLO tomorrow, what a blast to race.

Great looking car!!

Great to see the loyalty! Mod it some more to "scratch the itch for a change."

This car is the only one I want. It checks all of the boxes for me. Only wish this forum would come back to life. Can't find any active B302 forums.

I can totally understand why you still love your Boss. Gorgeous car, and, it's a Boss! They definitely do still turn heads. What springs do you have? That's a radical drop! But it looks so good.

It's a beautiful car! What mods have you done to it? The drop looks perfect.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

CobraBob my car is lowered with Eibach Sportline springs. I also have other suspension mods too, but the sportlines bring the ride height down perfect imo.

Your Boss is perfect. That's what it is all about. Find what you really like and keep it, and not change cars like socks. Some people don't get it when I tell them I've had my '66 for 26 years. Why? Because it is fun to work on and a blast to drive. Sure, with my measley 550 horses a Hellkitty will show me its taillights at the drag strip. But not on a road course... . Plus...90mph in a '66 feels like 130 in a new car. Other vehicles of mine will come and go, but my '66 and my '14 are with me until the end.

4.5 years with mine and couldn't agree more! It's still the funnest car I have ever driven and I will never get rid of it. It's the last and best of the old school live axle, manual transmission muscle cars and makes me smile just looking at it.

Well stated, love my boss as well and competes well with current generation cars.

Still in love after 5 years! Just took her to Snakes at the Lake in Tahoe on Saturday. Got lots of love and respect from the Shelby guys and gals!

how are you liking your 13 Boss compared to 12 Boss? I debated between 12 and 13 and i bought 12 since i liked the look on it better even though 13 had more features....

I just got into Dearborn, Michigan last night from Boston for the woodward dream cruise this Saturday, and an all Ford show Sunday at Ford HQ.

Also, as I type this, I'm at a Ford employee car show, and Friday we are doing the Romeo proving grounds, car show, faculty tour, and ride alongs on track with Ford drivers.

And to top it all of, the other day was my 50th birthday and this is the cake my girl had made for my surprise party :



Life is good.....

wow that is by far the best cake i have ever seen... congrats on your 5.0 bday!
