Calypso Coral 1970 Mustang Grande hardtop owned by Rick Pierce from Bowling Green, Kentucky. This Mustang still has it's original 351ci engine. This was our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting 8-17-08. Rick has this story to share, "I rode in the car when it was new. It belonged to a friend of my family. I purchased the car in August of 1977 to drive to college and have driven all over the Southeast until now. The Grande was disassembled and painted by a friend, which turned into a three year process. It was completed two years ago [2006]. I have had it at several local shows and someone will always come up and ask 'What is it?' or tells me 'Ford didn't build a Granada in 1970'. So many experts out there."

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).
