Story

The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 was a factory SportsRoof homologation model rather than a dealer-built special. The source record supports treating it as a Mustang variant with its own G-code 302-cubic-inch, four-barrel Boss engine, rated in period references at 290 horsepower and 290 lb-ft, backed only by Ford Toploader four-speed manual transmissions. The chassis package was as important as the engine: references document Competition Suspension hardware, power front disc brakes, a Ford 9-inch rear axle, 15x7 Magnum 500 wheels, and F60x15 tires. For 1969, the public-car identity is narrow: SportsRoof body, four documented colors in the registry-derived color table, matte-black Boss appearance treatment, reflective C-stripes, and no 1969 shaker or Ram Air claim. Because Boss 302s are frequently cloned, this record keeps identity evidence separate from appearance. A G in the fifth VIN position, SportsRoof body coding, Boss-specific engine details, and documented factory paperwork remain the safest follow-up evidence for a specific car.

Still Researching

authenticity markers Anghel Restorations narrows selected Boss 302 engine-authenticity facets (engine tag contents/location and screw-in freeze plugs), but factory casting/date-code rules, complete service-part supersessions, and assembly-plant variation still require normalized Ford parts/service references and car-specific paperwork.
production A conflicting 1,934 total appears in some secondary sources; this record uses the corroborated 1,628 figure but flags the conflict.
