Title: Boss 302
Post by: 67 GT350 on February 18, 2020, 04:39:14 PM
Anyone see thing on Bring your Trailer? I am interested in it, they want 55K, seems a little high even though it is "new"

$45 is about right. Sold mine for $45.5 and it had 1000 miles a few years ago. Always something better and faster.

Nice looking car. I’ve driven one and enjoyed it. As stated above it’s all about how much power you want for your buck.
I like the “retro”
I’m not sure I’d want one with under 100 miles on it at that money tho. I’d rather a car that’s been driven just a tad more unless I could get in it and check mechanicals.

Thats what I am thinking, too much money, would love a black one just like it for a better price. Its cool that whoever buys it, it is titled "as the original owner" and full warrantee....

There is a change over on those cars from a live axle to an IRS. It dates the earlier ones to less desirable.

On that year?

On that year?

No. Somewhere during the production run. Maybe 16 is the last live axle and 17 the first IRS? I only causally notice those cars. One of the kids on the block has a yellow one.

I think it's a 16 with a live axle but I can't be sure?

Just pointing out, that's one of the things that effects value/desirability. I'm not in the market for one.

I think the new Mustangs are ugly. They remind me of Quasimoto, the Hunchback of Notre Dame? Whatever happened to sleek? These are humped up.

'15 is the first year for the IRS.

You just have to tak a big hit on the attractiveness scale  :P.

And only a handful of GT350s made that year. No B2 since '13.

As I said, not the avenue of my expertise.

I remember a friend's father remarking about my '68 Shelby the first time he saw it. "Is that the Batmobile?" So I should be no one to talk about smooth and slinky? BUT, busomy starlets 'dressed in slinky red dresses, with heels and stockings with garters, IRS and... I have to stop now. Getting too excited. ;)

Just another personality flaw of mine. Put it on the list.  :o

My red 66 Hertz does not have IRS however that does not mean I would trade it in on a new Shelby. Ever. For me the cut of the car, its "style" or aesthetic if you will (and nostalgia), is the top consideration for me and then I take it from there, horsepower and so on.

I guess that I am out of the loop... "Power comes from a Road Runner 5.0L V8"  ???

My dad is banging the drum to sell his Boss 302 LS. His car, his choice. But I am extremely hesitant. I'm the only child you see...

You need to write a song for it.  :)

These late model cars go down in value every year. If you think the price is too high today, just wait and it will drop to get to your number.

  I was thinking the same thing myself..... Sled, do you do any upbeat songs? Something to lift ones emotions for a families bond with a car? :)

I could work on something upbeat. Looking into writing mixolydian and pentatonic major keys at the moment.
