2007 Ford Boss 302 Mustang To Make Public Debut

VAN NUYS, Calif. — The 2007 Ford Boss 302 Mustang by Galpin Auto Sports will get its first public showing on December 1 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The car made its debut earlier this fall at the SEMA trade show. Galpin uses the 390-horsepower 5.0-liter Boss 302 engine as the centerpiece of its customization package. This Mustang is the first to feature the new Ford Racing Performance Parts Boss 302 engine.

The performance upgrades include what the customizer describes as a "brand-new vintage" 1970 original Boss Holley carburetor, a Tremec TKO 600 transmission, T-handle Hurst shifter, McLeod bell housing and clutch, a custom aluminum driveshaft, MSD ignition distributor, coil and plug wires, and Ford Racing Performance 456 rear-end gears and axle girdle.

The exterior is outfitted with an original vintage Boss 302 rear wing and a Galpin Auto Sports custom shaker hood. The cabin has custom black basket-weave seats with Grabber Blue stitching, a Grant custom retro wood steering wheel, and a GAS custom roll cage. Tech features include an MTX five-channel amplifier, Bluetooth and iPod interfaces, Pioneer AVIC-Z1 head units for the DVD and nav systems, Q Logic kick panels, Streetwires audio accessories and Optima batteries.

"Our goal was to revive one of the most revered muscle cars in automotive history, and at the same time, ensure that we retain the spirit and passion of the original 1970s version," said Beau Boeckmann, president of Galpin Auto Sports and consulting producer for MTV's popular car make-over show Pimp My Ride.
