1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302: Awakened from 40-year nap



   What if you were to walk outside, go into your garage and find a Mustang hidden away in there somewhere?  Well your not the only one, I too wish I could find something as cool as a Mustang hidden in my garage.  Still reading?...good, a man in New Hampshire was plundering around on his property and stumbled upon a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Fastback stashed in his barn, 40 years after the time its owner abandoned it.

  The classic V8 colored in blue, was left behind after the owner ran over a fire-hydrant and supposedly lost interest in the vehicle in the early 70's which might have been the last time this piece of history was used.  The car was sold on eBay for around $70,000. 

  Wow! imagine that, what a rare find.  Ford only made 1,628 Boss 302's in 1969 and their value has grown more and more each year and newly restored models grabbing close to $82,000.  Wouldn't that make you start looking around in places like barns and shacks? I think so.  This Mustang looks very well preserved, even the color looks great to have been sitting for all those years.  There's no way to keep the dust off the car even under a tarp.  The interior might have some dust and a few spider webs, but shows a great level of preservation.
