Boss 302 or Mach 1

[IPOGT]

I do love the Bullitt but have decided to keep my Boss and don't want two manuals. Going to look for a nice 18-20 GT with an Auto trans and PPI. Depending on the market an M1 may be considered but it's about a $15-$20k upswing and not sure it's justified. After all it'll be my wifes car. It's bad enough she'll have more HP than me. LOL

Good point. The Recaros are great. I've driven a couple of GT350s with Recaros and didn't find them as comfortable, but hell of a car.. Couple pics of what's a must for a Boss.

I’m actually glad you’ve reconsidered selling it. I’ll take a ride anytime. Just ask. LOL.
Pinnacle of the classic solid axle Mustang. I wanted the GHIG 2013 Boss I happened upon so badly but my Mach 1 was already ordered. This was the Mustang before it was Euroized if there is such a word. Not that was a bad thing, just radically different.

I have both cars. 21 Mach 1 and a 13 Boss LS (4400 miles). As much as I like the Mach 1, I would send it down the road looong before the Boss. I don't drive either often but when I do get a chance the Boss just feels like old school muscle in a reliable modern car. No car sounds as good to me. With quad exhaust and track key activated, I can't get the smile off my face!!

I agree there is no other exhaust like it!

As common as black is, you do not see many black Boss 302's around. I have always liked those cars. One like that would fit nice next to the Mach. If you don't mind, post some additional pictures of it.

The Black B302 was only available as the LS model for both 2012 and 2013. The 2012 was Red decals over Black, while the 2013 was the Gray/Silver decals over Black.

Both the 2012-2013 LS models are rarer to see out and about, unless it was owned by someone who just used it for daily transportation. I've seen a few 2012 LS's with 90K+ miles on them, certainly the few and far between and out of the norm for such a vehicle - but high miler LS's are out there.

2013 LS available exterior color combo was Black/Silver and School Bus Yellow/Black.

The 2012 Silver/Red LS is the rarest LS to find for sale, as there were only (151) produced. They do pop up, not often though. The last one I saw was on eBay about 8-mos ago and IIRC, asking was $50k, which was a good deal, but the car was also modified and "tuned" - which takes away from its value. There was another 2012 Silver LS for sale earlier this year out of AZ and the ask on that one was $69k, all stock as built with paperwork.

If you're looking to buy, any Consignment Reseller and *some* auction sites has the standard and LS 2012-2013 B302's marked up by at least $15k-$25k over "street values". So be aware when searching to buy one that you can get a better deal on these B302's by searching other sellers/sites rather than Consignments or specialty niche Dealers.

This looks a little sketchy for the price! Too good to believe. https://raidcars.com/listing/2012-f...l-connect&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=premium

Raidcars is a scam site. Beware

Always wanted this combo. Nothing better looking period.

@Cobra Jet, thanks again for the information you provide on this forum. It is nice to get more knowledge on theses cars.

I swear if I see one more pic of this I'm going to have to locate one... But yes, this was my dream mustang growing up. I honestly didn't even realize I could afford one until this forum post.

Two close friends own Laguna Secas, one is a '12 in silver/red and the other is a '13 in SBY. The second either goes up for sale I will pounce, especially the '13.

I have serious Boss 302 envy. As I said earlier, a Boss is the only S197 I'd dump my S550 for. I wanted to trade my '07 GT500 in on one back in '13, but ADMs and ludicrous trade allowances killed it for me. Funny how that works.

I hate situations like this:
https://www.allcollectorcars.com/classic-car-auctions/vehicles/2013-ford-mustang/ $45k

real price: https://thevaultms.com/inventory/2013-ford-mustang-boss-302-leguna-seca-edition/ $59,900 (actual seller)

There's a few LS's on Hemmings right now in this color combo. Ones got only 85 miles on it but he wants $100k. Really.....come on man.

For $45k I'd buy that right now.

I shot the guy a message seeing if he could do $45. Big surprise, $57k is the lowest he'll go. Worth a shot though lol. I guess I'll just have to be happy with my 23 GT Premium.
