Absolutely a full explanation of the way it's supposed to be done the right way not the wrong way this guy knows his SHIT VERY INFORMATIVE TO THE POINT OF RESTORATION

Grabber Blue is the greatest Mustang color ever 👍

These old mustangs look beautiful just standing and driving on the road . Just magic . The only car that has the most street cred that was ever built . Carol Shelby was blessed with genius . New ones are obviously lovely but without that wow factor. I have three cars on my yes please list . Top of the list is Ford Mustang Aston Martin. db5 50s 60s Volkswagen Beetle 6 volt .

The Boss mustangs were the PINNACLE of the muscle car era. Beyond beautiful bodylines and bad ass motors to back them up. Would sell my 1st born to own a 70 Boss9 today JUST KIDDING.

One of my favourite cars . Beautiful !

When I was 13 years old a guy that worked for my dad bought a brand new 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. It was a gold non-shaker standard wheel cover car but when it was parked in the driveway I would just walk around and around and studying it and drool over it. Was always the dream car of mine. So in 2017 I bought a brand new Shelby GT 350 mustang.when the sales person asked me why I wanted that car I told her I’ve been waiting 45 years for Ford to build this car.

THE best company for restorations.

I was 19 when I saw a new one in the CANAL FORD dealership in New Orleans. It was yellow with black stripes. I fell in love with it immediately. It became my dream car but I never was able to achieve that dream.

Stunning!!

Absolute perfection, master craftsmen bringing a classic back to life.the attention to detail is incredible

My favorite episode of Dream Car Garage!

Absolutely APPRECIATE SHARRING YR EXPERTISE BOTTOM TO TOP & TOP To BOTTOM... END TO END...THX PETER #XPERT

Legendary Motors is still Legendary!

Nice.Larry Shinoda sure knew how to make a great looker.

It’s always a pleasure to see the truly classic Ford mustangs being restored to their original glory. If I ever got my hands on one of these Fords, this is the restoration shop I would use!

Thanks for the memories! My husband and I parked our pair of Bosses at church on our wedding day. His completion gold, mine grabber green. We roared out in that shiny golden Pony boiling smoke from 12 inch wide rear hooves, spinning out sideways, leaving our wedding party with dropped jaws, on the curb!! It was an Awesome thrill, rush of joy! During those years, driving our Mustangs is the most fun we ever had, (with clothes on!) prancing down the highway, growling that intimidating unique V8 rumble, galloping past other envious ponies of the herd! It still takes my breath away today, just thinking about it. Wish I still had one or all of the several fun fast, Mustang Pony cars from the day. I'm sure you are reliving the joy of your youth, from the saddle of your beautiful blue 1970 Boss. Drive it every day and enjoy the thrill of the ride!! Thanks again for sharing the memories!

I’m buying a 70’ Boss 302 (but it’s originally yellow) this spring- where it’s at is basically inaccessible during winter. Getting it from a co worker, as luck would have it..and cannot wait! I don’t build trailer queens but I try to get ‘em as close to original as possible. Great video- Pete!

The Legendary Motorcar episode featuring the restoration of this Boss 302 was always one of my favorites. I'm glad you uploaded this to KZfaq!

I owned and restored a 1969 BOSS 302 back in the late 1970's and early 1980's and, as happens, once the family happened, I sold it to a couple in Fairbanks Alaska. Mine was Acapulco blue, light blue standard interior, close ratio 4 speed, 3:91 traction lock rear, front & rear spoilers. I rebuilt the engine and did all the body work and paint myself (stock color lacquer with clear). My stripe kit came from Tony Branda! I rebuilt it using the aftermarket 12:1 pistons that a former owner had installed when it was drag raced. That little motor had some big ones. Nothing like a high compression solid lifter motor revving through the gears. I had it listed on the BOSS 302 Registry back then and a few years ago decided to try to track it down. The folks at the BOSS 302 Registry noted that I was the first owner on the registry and another person in Palmer, Alaska was the current owner (at that time) and I found his Facebook page and downloaded a couple picture of it he had on his page. Looked very nice although it appeared to have a newer paint job. Long term (40 plus years) lacquer with clear coat don't usually last forever. I emailed and left messages for that owner with no response but it was nice to see my old car was still being shown after all the years! Like they say, I've regretted selling that car in the years ever since! Can't afford a car like that now. But I am trying to finish up the 1972 442 I've had for years. The restoration hasn't moved as fast as it did when I was a youngster! Such is life! I really enjoyed this video. I also watch Peterson Restorations channel videos on KZfaq where he saves old trashed Mustangs (even a couple BOSS 302's) and makes them like new again.

MY MOM OWNED TWO 70 BOSS 302'S FROM 74 TO 76. THE SECOND ONE WAS PROFESSIONALLY BUILT AT THE PIT STOP IN SCOTTSDALE AZ. IT WAS A SCREAMER BIG TIME. SHE HAD TO TRADE IT OFF ON A FORD TRUCK AS SHE WENT INTO THE HAY BUSINESS. I DROVE THOSE CARS AS WELL WHEN I WAS IN THE 6TH GRADE. DROVE THEM HARD !.

Beautiful

Bring back Dream Car Garage! loved that show

This is such a satisfying video to watch.

Beautiful Mustang! I can only dream of being able to afford something like that 😮

My cousin had one till he passed last year, same colour. He left it for his son. Another friend had the identical car and back in the 70’s my girlfriend and I spent a few hours in the back seat going from Sabrina to Detroit, not a place to be ! He still owns that car, and restored an identical car for his son.

I have owned two 66 4 speed mustangs and 1 70 Fastback. The second 66 I own for 28 years. Regretted it ever since, so never sell your old cars you'll always regret it. Great video! and great reunion, doesn't get much. better.

What a great story two long time friends and a Boss 302 just fantastic.

Love how these guys can appreciate the classics and the new cars. Usually the older guys only like the classics

My 1970 Boss302 was my first car. I bought it in 1978 for $450 with no motor or tranny and rust holes in the rear quarters. We hauled it home in my dads grain truck. I still own it and finished the 2nd resto in 2020. Having a blast driving it as much as I can.

Unbelievably high quality video . . . Spielberg's got nuthin' on you guys!

This brings me back to when I was just a kid at 5 or 6 and my father doing time trials in his 69 L36 427 corvette with the Ontario Corvette Club. Great times and amazing memories.

Best video I’ve watched on KZfaq in years Peter is a number one guy. I was close friend of Tony Branda and am still friends with his son JR.. I wish I could stress enough you get what you pay for . Peters services are invaluable on a car this rare!

Thanks

Great vid and a super cool looking Boss!!!!!!!👍👍👍

What a beauty!

Wow! Masterfully done. Just wow. Thank you for sharing.

Spared no expense. Great video. Thank you for the education.

Thank you for going into technical detail. And not goofing around, like the other shows. Appreciated. Humour can be found elsewhere.

What an amazing story, very cool, Peter is the best, I miss my 1970, 351, Cleveland!!

This might be the most educational and therefore the best video I think you have done. I am restoring a one owner 69 S Code 4 speed right now so of course this was extremely interesting to me!

This guy was doing it before all these guys on KZfaq.

Best Car Restoration show on TV still - I miss seeing them here in Australia

Beautiful job 👍👍👍👍

I went to high school in the 70's. All the great muscle cars were just cheap used cars. In 1976 I bought a Boss 302 for $500. A friend a 440+6 Super Bee for $800, another a GTO Judge for $800. Plus many more!

I bought the same Boss 302 in 1979 for $1,200! Everyone in my high school had a muscle car in 1978-79. Owners were giving them away, because of gas prices. 👍👍👍👍

Great video. Loved the step by step process of the Boss 302 build.

Excellent in-depth video of a car from start to finish and all the steps involved in a full restoration of a classic car !

Awesome. I have always been a fan of Boss Mustangs, but especially the Boss 302. The only pony car I likes even more was the First Generation Shelbys that were based on the Mustang (Falcon) platforms. I never did purchase a Boss 302 or any other Boss Mustang. I felt for me it would be impractical as I lived, at the time, in SoCal, and later Yuma, AZ. To have a car, any car, without Air Conditioning was craziness. I was more into comfortably driving a high performance vehicle, as opposed to having a high performance vehicle I was goin g to suffer in due to high temperatures inside the car. After many years of "life happening (kids, career, etc.) I finally found a beautifully restored 1969 Shelby GT500, with factory A/C, and purchased. It is still my all time favorite car, despite how nice out other pony cars are - to include a 2020 Shelby GT500 we also picked up along the way. Gotta love those old ponies, eh?

Outstanding restoration of an outstanding car - the backstory is awesome! And, sidebar, you blew my mind with the toilet bowl cleaner trick! Side/sidebar - Corvair Turbo Mufflers, those were the rage for a long time, thanks for the memories.

You definitely live up to your company name. Thank you Peter 👍

That Boss is better than new!

Great restoration and story! We're in the process of a ground up restoration of a 1968 fastback with 69 351W. It was my best friend's car. He restored it back in 1978 and gave it to my son two years ago. Not a Boss but lot's of sentimental value.

This is a special bit of awesome! I am so glad that LMC is around to watch again (for me). The old LMC episodes on Speed Vision, helped to mold me into an automotive connoisseur.

Body leading is starting to become a lost art... Nice work 👌

Stunning Boss 302! Beautiful!

Awesome car congrats on your gem

LOVE these stories and walk-thru each stage and explanation. Adore it and is so motivating!

IMHO the 70 Boss and Mach 1 were the best looking Mustangs ever made. I love to see more Legendary Motor cars on Motortrend tv. This was their best show. No clowning yet still very entertaining. I'd guess a restoration like this would cost about 200K. I wish they'd tell us what the actual figure is.

This was an impressive video, not only is it an amazing piece of machinery, but also done to perfection!

Love your passion, your work and your show. I was surprised at the 28:00 minute mark to see one of the installers wearing a metal wedding ring. I would have bet that you either make them remove all metal or wear gloves. Thank you for sharing this detailed and informative story on a truly cool car!

I truly miss the 70,s..........

These guys and girls are artists!

You guys are simply the best!! 👍👍

Great story and great footage. Awesome video

Nice story and motivation for a full restoration! It really makes sense that this owner get the car he had, but this restoration is better than new, with everything perfectly lined up... Sure hope he makes it a driver instead of a trailer queen.

Was going home to South Dakota from Minnesota and decided to take I-90. On the way I was passed by a Boss 302(1970) and I was in my 70' RoadRunner. We started baiting each other and pretty soon we were racing down I-90. We must have gone on that way for nearly 100 miles. Finally we stopped at a truck stop along 90 and had lunch together. We didn't know each other before that moment and had a good time. I wonder where the fella is at now and if he still has the Mustang......I made a big mistake when I sold my RoadRunner. Good thing no highway patrol was in the area that day......nice was to meet people. Incidentally, loser bought lunch.......

thank you so much for doing this. This is my favorite car in the world. i always wanted one and im learning auto mechanics, body work and abit of mechanical engineering so i can hopefully own one and restore it myself. it will take some time before i can own one as i dont live in america and getting one here is difficult. i intend on living in america for a couple of reasons but this car is one of the main reasons lol. I love it to death, thank you so much for doing the video. It means more to me than u know friend.

I would give a lot to get mine back! Blue was the color, busted up by an brainless drunk knocking off of the road and down a hill. The loss is 1978’s shoulda, woulda, coulda. Blueprinted motor fresh, top quality shocks, new shifter, immaculate. I now consider it my first serious relationship. With a 3.5x rear it got great fuel mileage. What a blast to drive around the windy country roads in north central PA.

This is one of best videos I've watched for restoration.

Great restoration, better than new. Hope i didn’t sold that silver Boss, i still miss it. Greatest car I’ve ever had. Sorry, there’s something in my throat…

One of my favourite Fords fixed up by professionals!

both of those cars look amazing

I had a 1970 Boss 429

That transmission gear whine is music to the soul!

Ship of Theseus comes to mind, hehe.

I have a 2013 Boss 302 in performance white myself. If I could get a '70 in the same color I would die a happy man.

Mind blowing

Save the classics!

😂 great, sets the standard for us rolling around on the floor of our garages 👍

I sold my 68 fastback gt mustang ( my first car ) to my best friend at the end of high school and it sat in a barn for years. He finally told me if I found him a boss 302 69 70 for a reasonable price he would sell my car back to me long story short I still have the car it's 2022 no and I've had it back for several years now. The part I didn't tell you is that my grandpa gave it to me when I turned 16 . I 2as so happy to get it back long before papa passed away he knew I got it back and seen it several times now all I see with that car is my papa's smile

Wow there's a lot of work and details involved and knowledge great 👍 job

Kinda cool to see the original 1975 sale receipt between the two guys. $2300 for a Boss 302 in 1975. In 1973 I paid $2500 for a pristine used 1970 Mach 1 in lime green metallic. That car unfortunately was totaled (by me) in 1975.

Interesting video. My dad used to work at the Ford factory and he loved these cars and he instilled in me a love of these cars. It's always nice to see a truly classic Ford Mustang restored to its original glory.

Exactly,,,the correct way to prep, and the suspension pick up points,, Good to see the tig work, and all that Peter has described in detail. If there is anybody out there that doesn't know how to do this work as tho has for 40 years, then you should definitely have Peter Klutt restore your car.

nice

Excellent work and presentation ☺

I had a customer who had 70 boss 302 with same colour that took me for a spin in Markham in 2002-03. May have been the same car!

Really great video and story.

Always enjoyable and you have never changed. I like that you made no claim to being Bob Perkins in regards to checking off every box on this type of restoration but leave no doubt your attention to detail is second to none. I guess in a perfect world my car would end up in your hands for a restoration one day however don't count on it lol.... Just first class work. Lucky owner!

Ihave talk to you a couple times at the auction you got a 👍great show what people need to know when they working on a project 😊🙏thanks

Mustang GT my dream car

Great Video Peter, glad you got your Boss back Dave. Gray hair and Grabber Blue go well, lol....

My godfather Manuel castelona got a 1966 mustang V8 . He took us for a breakfast trip around Toluca Mex in weekends : I fall in love with 🐎’n!!!!

I remember when you did either this one or a different blue one for a past video, with all of the details, even remember the GN you had for sale with very low mileage. Wish I could've bought it, but never had quite enough. Now I have 3 1970 Boss 302's, yellow, grabber blue and a green one, the yellow all original engine, trans, rear. All needing full restoration. I also have a one owner 86 GN, 66 GT350, 67 GT350, 67 GT500, 68 GT500, 68 GT500 Race Care, 427 TP, with spares, 68 GT500KR convertible, 4 spd, w/air, one of very few, I'm sure you already know that, 69 GT350 Convertible, 69 GT350 and several other misc. cars, all needing restoration. It pains me to see them there and not be restored. I keep hoping for that windfall to be able to do it.

Nice I remember when my father bought his in 72 it was on rims no tires so nobody would steal it he paid two grand for it it was one year earlier than your's with a four twenty eight four speed bucket seats it only had twenty three thousand on it car was sick fast second third pinned you to the seat that car had so many people wanting it it was painted silver and black he traded it for a Peterbilt ninety eight I was blessed to be able to drive it a hand full of times the horn was in the inside rim of the steering wheel the car was super bad ass and super clean good luck with your seventy oh the numbers matched and stock except for the paint change was yellow

Excellent video! I have a question - Did assembly plants spray on primer to the body and undercarriage or a phosphate? Zinc primer at the factory? I picked a Revell Boss 302 kit and wanted to be as realistic as possible with the colors and have been trying to compare the detail photos on the box with pictures and video online. Never had a Boss but did grow up around 60s70s Fords. Though I was underneath one once in a while, all I really remember is undercoating and/or grease and rust. The model kit is about as much as I can handle anymore considering limited patience and a kit still in school. Still, I appreciate these cars for what they are and represent, and the artisans who restore them.

that is a very lucky boss 302

Back then all these muscle cars were a dime a dozen. We all had Mach 1s, bosses, Camaros SS, GTOs whatever! If we only knew! I could have bought a really clean Boss 302 for $2500. It didn't have an original engine so I passed on it.

A buddy of mine in Montreal took his 70 Boss 302 mustang apart in the 80's and today its still all apart in his garage( orange)

All 69-70 Boss 302 had bad pistons design, the piston skirts (to long) would crack & chip. TRW make a replacement pistons with a much shorter skirt. So make sure that the engine has been rebuilt with new style aftermarket pistons.
