1970 Ford Boss 302 Mustang - Calypso Coral Red (Highway 61) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The BOSS 302 was essentially a package option for 1969 and 1970 Mustangs. But this package was not limited to flashy stripes and a set of shiny wheels. Based on the success of Fords factory-backed SCCA/Trans- Am Mustang race teams, the BOSS 302 combined high-revving engine performance with a competition-type suspension, resulting in one of the hottest production cars of all time. The 1970 BOSS 302 was the culmination of this Ford concept.
The 1970 BOSS 302 package started with a cant-valved, four-bolt main block 302 cubic inch V-8 engine with solid-lifter cam and forged steel crank. A huge manual choke 780cfm Holley carburetor fed a dual plane 4V intake with optional Ram Air induction system complete with Shaker style hood scoop (not available in 1969). Free-flowing cast iron exhausts dumped into a true dual exhaust system. Mated to a Top Loader four- speed transmission (available in wide-ratio and close ratio versions), was a new Hurst H pattern shifter. Stiff coil springs, 15/16 inch sway bars, Gabriel shock absorbers and single piston, floating caliper, 11.3 inch diameter disc brakes kept the high-powered Mustang on the road. New reflective black striping design and 13 different eye-grabbing color combinations made the BOSS 302 look as good as it could go.

The Ford Mustang launched on April 17, 1964 and sold over 22,000 units on its first day — a record that still stands. Credited with creating the pony car segment, the Mustang gave American buyers a sporty, affordable car at a time when performance meant expense. Early first-generation cars are among the most collected American automobiles ever produced, with the 1967–1968 fastback body style and the 1969–1970 Mach 1 considered peak muscle era styling.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1970 Ford Mustang in Red is produced by Highway 61 to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
