This is not the Boss Mustang we were hoping for but it's a step in the right direction as Ford Racing announces an "off-road only" 2010 Boss 302R limited edition Mustang. This Mustang was developed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Mustang Boss 302's iconic 1970 Trans-Am championship win with Parnelli Jones behind the wheel. The Boss 302R is a factory-built road racing Mustang powered by a 5.0-liter 4-valve motor mated to a six-speed transmission producing an estimated 400 horsepower. Other goodies include a roll cage, race dampers/springs, brakes, race seats and safety harnesses. Details are a bit scarce but we do know the MSRP will be an estimated $79,000 with production being limited to just 50 units. Also, build and delivery dates are scheduled for sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2010. An optional 2010 Grand-Am Homologation Spec Package for $129,000 will also be available to compete in the KONI Challenge.
For more details check out the release sent out to dealers nationwide.
