No matter how you look at them, all early versions of the Mustang have something special about them. This is why so many of them are still around, repeatedly selling for ever-increasing sums. In the case of this one here, the something special translates into the rare spec, but also some drag racing history. 4 photos
Born in 1970 as a W-code Mustang of the Boss 302 variety, the car wears both the original paint and the native interior specification. There were a bit over 7,000 302s made back then, but just 575 or so had the Calypso Coral paint sprayed over the body. Of them, fewer still (78 as we’re told) matched that with a Vermilion Red interior. This one has them both.
