Re: Info on Boss 302
Just like Z/28's, power steering was an option but power front disc brakes should have come standard. Maybe an old drag car that they got lazy and didn't convert back. Marti report will show equipment and verify originality. Check the parts, I'm pretty sure they had heavy duty disc brake spindles to allow them to run F60-15 tires. Early '69 Shelbys had E70-15 tires until the upgraded spindles from the Bosses were ready and then Shelbys could use them and run F60's as well. Apparently the engineers weren't happy with durability from the excess loads generated by the "big" tires. I think this may be a point only on '69 Boss 302's, as all '70 disc brake cars likely got the upgraded spindle. Point is, you'll have to buy everything from the spindles out if you convert back.
Shaker hood, Magnum 500 wheels, rear spoiler, window slats, center console were all options on Boss 302's that year. They could be pretty austere. But they still had power disc brakes!
