Ford launched the Boss 302 Mustang in 1969 and 1970 to satisfy homologation requirements for SCCA Trans-Am racing, a decision that paid off when Parnelli Jones captured the 1970 Trans-Am championship behind the wheel of a Boss 302.

Decades later, the Boss 302 nameplate returned with the introduction of Ford’s 5.0-liter Coyote V8. This modern version featured a forged crankshaft, ported cylinder heads, revised camshafts, and a high-flow intake system. Power was delivered through an MT-82 six-speed manual transmission to a solid rear axle with a 3.73:1 limited-slip differential. Its aggressive aerodynamic enhancements were directly inspired by the purpose-built Boss 302R race car.

The range-topping Laguna Seca edition, named after the famed California circuit, added Recaro sport seats, a Torsen limited-slip differential, revised suspension tuning, and a larger rear sway bar. Rear seats were removed and replaced with a structural X-brace, improving chassis rigidity, while lightweight alloy wheels were fitted with ultra high-performance R-compound tires.

This particular example is number 222 of a planned 767 Laguna Seca Boss 302s produced for 2012 and shows under 4,200 miles. Adding to its attraction, the instrument panel bears the signature of racing legend and 1970 Trans-Am champion Parnelli Jones.

This low-mile 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Florida title.

Additional Information

The selling dealer states, “It’s not a Shelby. It’s not a Bullitt. It’s not a Darkhouse. However, it is a legend in the making. The black and red combo creates a cool vibe and the custom Recaros, restraint system, and roll cage lets you know real fast this is no ordinary pony car. We do have the front splitter with us, but it’s not installed due to our in/out ramp.”
