The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca has had
plenty of visits to various auction houses in the past year, including one that
was sold in January at Barrett Jackson for US$ 450,000.
Ten months later and another special edition Boss
302 appears to be headed under the hammer, this time at the Ford Motor Company
Conference and Event Center in Dearborn, Michigan on October 15, 2011. This
particular model, nicknamed ’School Bus Yellow’, is a complete one-off edition
of the Boss 302 and will be signed by no less than legendary race car driver,
Parnelli Jones.
The word is that this particular model could very
well be a preview of the 2013 Boss 302, complete with the ’School Bus Yellow’
color scheme and all the corresponding graphics that are similar to that of the
1970 model. Under the hood, this Boss 302 will carry a 5.0-liter V8 engine with
444 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque mated to a six-speed manual
transmission.
Other features of this special edition Mustang Boss
302 include six-way adjustable Recaro racing seats with "Boss 302"
stitched on them and a new gauge pack that measures 0-60 mph times, lateral Gs,
and braking performance.
