Here is a gorgeous 5,312 original mile Boss 351 that we assisted a customer in buying and inspecting in the USA and were then given the awe inspiring job of saving a piece of history! This car was original paint, but had most likely done it's 5,312 miles on the drag strip and ordinary roads in the beautiful State of Iowa in the USA. It was carefully pulled down to a basic shell, less interior for the most part, all the suspension parts documented and then treated to a concours restoration to original spec's, nuts and bolts replated in their original finishes and the car carefully put back together, trying to maintain that 'original, unrestored' look of the car. The original numbers matching Boss 351 engine was pulled, as it had been sitting in the engine bay as a non running engine for some 25 years at least, and rebuilt to original spec's, as was the transmission and rear end. The vehicle was fitted with NOS original Firestone tyres/tires (tyres or tires - depending on where you're from!) and an NOS exhaust system, of which we've never seen before!
We're absolutely over the moon with how this Boss 351 came up. It's a pleasure to drive, sounds awesome, and looks so perfectly original and unrestored still..! It was entered in the 2010 Boss Nationals event and won the concours with the highest points score overall.
