Ford Kills The Mustang Boss 302

Ford is following through on its promise to limit the Mustang Boss 302 to just two years of production. Act now, time is running out.

The greatest Mustang variant on sale today won’t be for around for much longer, as Ford’s 2014 Mustang order guide does not include the 302. Buyers will be limited to the V6, 5.0 or GT500. This is your last chance to get a retro-styled, track-focused, naturally aspirated V8 Mustang.

I’m not alone in my effusive praise of this car. Jack (and his brother Mark) and Brendan are all equally enthusiastic about the home-grown M3 challenger; but only one of us has managed to pony up the entry price.

    "Killing off" implies failure, but I understood the Boss 302s were a limited edition from the start, capped at 2,000 orders per year (including just 500 Laguna Secas) for only two model years. The Boss 302's production limit and exclusivity was intend to create a buzz with collectors if not price gouging at Ford dealers.

      You got it right Denver, the didn't kill off the Boss, like the Mach 1 the Boss was a limited production vehicle. Since SVT first appeared the Mustang has been a three model line with special editions thrown in to keep things fresh.

    Wow, 9 days without utility power, or internet, and 190 hours on my generator and finally back online and I am greeted by a refresh of TTAC (good) and the disastrous news about killing the BOSS. What a shame.

    *News Flash* Ford does what it said it would do in terms of production. this keeps the profits up and loyal fans happy. New special editions to follow to keep profits up.

    Seems like it's time for another Mach 1 with a shaker hood scoop, followed by another Bullitt edition. OTOH, can't say any of that would be really bad, either.

      If Ford does business as usual we will see a Bullitt a few years into the life of the new car. The 2nd Gen Bullitt came out in 2008. Same with the Shelby just a little bit earlier.
