Calypso Coral 1970 Mustang Boss 302 with a 290hp (at 5800rpm), 302 cubic inch, V8 only available in 1970 for the Boss. This car has been faithfully restored to its original specifications. The new paint is Calypso Coral PPG Deltron Acrylic Urethane; and the hood stripes, rear deck, and taillight panel are properly painted with PPG DDL-9381 textured black-out paint. Sometimes in photographs the black Boss stripes are so reflective, they come out white; but these stripes were originally and still are black highly reflective stripes. This car also has Magnum 500 chrome wheels option ($129 originally).
