Default Amazing Boss 302 Survivor 11.5 K miles

The original owner Daryl Cook drove the cars a measly 11,530 miles, and parked for the last 50 years. Some underbody patina, but an amazingly untouched car. Hopefully it is preserved not restored. Love the detail pointed out the factory tape on the rev limiter is still present!

Was never a fan of hub caps in general, but always thought those early 70's Ford ones were actually not too bad.

That is the original owner in picture. Here is a You Tube video of Bob Perkins and Jerry Heasley checking it out.
